    David was very attentive and articulate. He ensured that everyone was together and could hear his commentary. His delivery of the facts and stories was clear and concise and meant we learned quite a lot.

    Robert our guide was great and so knowledgeable with all his facts regarding JK Rowling's early career writing the books. He made the 2 hour tour fly by. Even used his stick as a wand to change traffic lights during the walk lol. Throughly recommended for all Harry Potter fans.

    We had "Lafayette" as our guide and he was so funny and quick with his improvisation. He made the experience very immersive as he remembered people's names and places they were from. He kept the whole group intrigued from start to finish. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the tour is posted as being an underground tour when most of it takes place above ground through the city. Lafayette is amazing though ,still a very fun and memorable experience!

    This Harry Potter tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Our guide was outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and full of positive energy. He made the tour lively and entertaining, and the kids absolutely loved him; The tour was enjoyable, and full of fascinating details we would never have discovered on our own. Time flew by, and we enjoyed every single moment. I highly recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fan, especially families with kids. Thank you for such a memorable experience!
