It’s my first time being in London and as a true Potterhead I wanted to haves our sort of starting point what to do or see in the city. Walking tours are by far my favourite and the tour guide exceeded my expectations. We decided to book the walking tour with the boat option and it connected the two parts of the tour nicely. Our guide Tom was really charming and his personality made the tour a unique experience, he had lots of Potter Trivia with him and created a special atmosphere. My friend who accompanied me is not a huge potterhead but enjoyed the tour as well, since you get an insight to nice spots in the city. A huge recommendation from our side!

We booked a private tour with Emily and it was well worth it. Emily was brilliant - her knowledge was amazing. And I sincerely appreciated her candor about some of less flattering aspects of how items ended up in the museum and British history overall. It was like having access to a history professor for 2.5 hours. Highly recommend!

George was absolutely brilliant and his knowledge of not just Jack the Ripper but also the area was fantastic. I would recommend this tour and with George to anyone wishing to learn more of the history of this area. This tour was well worth the money.

Our guide, Johnny, was awesome. We were late and told by the company that we would not be able to find him. However, God smiled upon us and we stumbled upon the group. He was great! So knowledgeable and fun!

Alex was very entertaining indeed, he was able to hold everyones attention and allowed just the right amount of time to take photos and answer questions before moving along to the next 'stop' of the tour.
