Traveler reviews
Must-do for Harry Potter fans
Molly was a fantastic guide. She perfectly knew how to involve us by making a game of it. I loved that we were sorted into houses at the start and our son had a blast. An absolute must-do for Harry Potter fans!
Harry Potter tour.
The tour was amazing! George, our guide was informative and entertaining. Not only are you with people who know Harry Potter trivia, you learn about the history of York and enjoy it at the same time. If you’re planning a trip to York, you should take this tour.
Note: Have Harry Potter movie knowledge
This tour was very good and quite enjoyable. Being a Harry Potter fan, our guide, George gave us some quiz questions throughout the experience and I think I need to brush up on my HP knowledge. However George taught us a few things about filming locations, JK Rowling’s inspirations for creating Harry Potter and even some history of the city. An enjoyable experience overall 😁
Do it!
It was a lot of fun, especially if you know a lot about Harry Potter. York is beautiful to see. You live in the past. And Ellie knew everything, perfect guide
Highly recommend
Our tour guide Ellie was fantastic. We initially had a little trouble finding where to meet but that was our fault. Despite this, Ellie was kind and sympathetic throughout and help us find our way. We had small children with us and she made it interesting for the adults and children alike.
