Review of Oxford’s Harry Potter walking tour, including Christ Church, Divinity School, film sites, price, timing, and practical tips.

“Met our tour guide, Peter, in the appointed spot and started on time. Peter is a wealth of knowledge on both HP and Bath. Lots of extra information and history that added to the excellence of the tour. He's very upbeat and interactive. Know your HP trivia. It's more fun that way. A great way to see major landmarks in Oxford and the filming sights.”

Review of London’s $12 Harry Potter movie location tour, with Platform 9¾, Diagon Alley, Millennium Bridge, app tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Tour molto interessante e carino, si riescono a vedere scorci di Londra mentre si ha l’opportunità di immergersi dietro le quinte di Harry Potter. Difficoltà nel sincronizzare il tour con l’audio guida ed il gps. Proverò sicuramente a riprendere da dove l’ho interrotto.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $12

Explore Edinburgh’s Harry Potter links at your own pace, from Greyfriars Cemetery and Victoria Street to Hogwarts-inspired landmarks.

“Loved the fact that I could take this tour at my own pace, gave me time to get a coffee when I wanted and look in shops. Two small complaints-the order seems a little chaotic definitely some back and forth whereas it would have been easier to do what’s closer to each other. Second one, if there’s a way to include a map or something at the cemetery-I wasted way too much time trying to find all the stones and still never found all of them. Otherwise I enjoyed it.”

Review of Hollywood’s $9.99 smartphone ghost tour, with haunted sights, GPS audio, trivia, route details, value, and practical booking advice.

“Great Podcast, lots of history about downtown LA. If you love ghost stories this ones for you. Best part of the tour is that you get to do it at your own pace. I love group tours, but sometimes I want to check out the buildings and do some exploring on my own and that’s what you get with this one. You can pause and start up at anytime, and I love that.
