This tour is OK-ish although Harry Potter is predominantly brought alive by the tour guide. Actually nothing was filmed here. And the shambles are nice, but you would go there anyway. Would not book again.

What a fun afternoon! In York for a few days, two families with 3 kids (10-12), all Harry Potter fans, we thought this would be a good way to see the city while the kids were entertained. And they absolutely were - as were the grown-ups! Our guide was Libby who combined a (very competitive!) Harry Potter quiz, with film trivia, history, and ghost stories from York.
The tour was just the right length, with the ideal balance of fun and facts, taking in the key sights of York. And we had a lovely time meeting other families on the tour, teaming up in our Houses to compete for glory in the quizzes and scavenger hunts. We would all recommend this tour, thank you very much to Libby!

Entertaining and informative 2 hour walking tour taking in the main sights of York. We had booked for the 2 pm tour but seeing the weather forecast we asked at short notice to switch to the 11 am. Although Viator couldn't change it as it was less than 24 hours notice, the tour organisers were happy to accommodate our request.... Thank you!
Our guide Libby was fantastic and ensured all of the group took part in the quizzes, scavenger hunt and other competitions. Even we were surprised by how many points our 9-year-old daughter scored for Hufflepuff, which made her house tied winners with a very strong Gryffindor. Wish Libby all the best for her drama career and to the tour company for their superb customer service.

Tour guide Tom or ‘Hagrid’ was very friendly and provided a good deal of detail for the tour. Not just Harry Potter related but historical as well.
The quiz got us all thinking!!
Despite the rain we had a a great time.

We had a brilliant 2 hour tour with Ellie. Having visited York multiple times previously we wanted to do something a bit different. The tour was really interesting, mixing some Harry Potter trivia with York history, and we saw a few parts of the city we hadn't seen before.
Ellie was a fantastic guide, really knowledgeable and approachable, and definitely made the tour.
