“100% the best experience I have done in London. This made my whole trip worth the time, money, effort, etc. To any HP fan reading this, book the activity. Don’t think about it twice. You won’t regret any minute of it. From the very small details to every single set and prob they used in the movies, you feel like you’re part of that world too.”

Follow Harry Potter through London on a lively guided walk with trivia, filming spots, London landmarks, and an optional Thames boat ride.
“Jack was a brilliant tour guide, he was so knowledgeable about Harry Potter, but gave us lots of interesting facts about London too. I would definitely recommend doing this tour. The only thing I would mention is the fact that the iPad that he was carrying was quite badly cracked and some of the tour was based on watching a video on the screen, which was really hard to see.”
Get face to face with stars, royals, superheroes, and historic figures at Madame Tussauds London, with a cab ride and Marvel 4D film included.
“As two adults, we weren’t sure what to expect, however the lay out flowed nicely and we had so much fun. Glad we upgraded to fast track tickets and even got a free guide as we fast tracked. The models are incredible and we had great fun meeting ‘celebrities’. There was no pressure to rush through which was great. A fabulous morning entertainment.”

“Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the Scottish Highlands. The views are absolutely stunning along the way and each stop gave you a chance to stretch your legs and take in the scenery. Robert, our tour guide, was absolutely incredible! He was very knowledgeable, witty, and checked in with everyone throughout the trip. Bonus points for his driving playlist!! John, our driver, was also amazing!! It’s a very long day but so worth it. The coach itself was very comfy to have a little nap as well. So pleased with our trip!”

“We spent a thoroughly enjoyable hour or so gazing out over London. The weather wasn’t ideal but it didn’t detract from the experience. Visiting a week before Christmas the viewing and bar area was beautifully decorated with a striking tree and a singer belting out festive tunes. I highly recommend it even if you only visit once.”
Pick a city, a castle or a loch.
