What you'll do
Join us for a private Harry Potter walking tour through the streets of London, where fact and fiction blur and the wizarding world feels within reach. Your guide will take you through the back streets of Charing Cross and beyond, sharing behind the scenes stories from both the books and the films along the way.
This tour is packed with the same magic as our popular public Harry Potter walking tour, but as a private booking your guide is dedicated to your group alone for the full two hours. That means no waiting on other guests, no fixed script, and the chance to ask all the questions you want or spend longer at the spots that matter most to you.
Along the route you will see real world locations that inspired Diagon Alley, visit the site of the Harry Potter statue in Leicester Square, and stand where the Ministry of Magic's visitors entrance was filmed at Great Scotland Yard. Your guide will share literary trivia, film trivia and plenty of secrets from behind the scenes, all brought to life by a true Harry Potter fan.
This private tour is ideal for families, groups of friends, couples, or any Potterhead who wants a magical London experience without sharing their guide with strangers.
