Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing tour. Ellie and Libby were fantastic guides. Constantly upbeat and friendly. They really brought the tour to life and we would highly recommend this tour to others. If we could rate this more than 5 star we would.

Definitely recommend this tour for Harry Potter fans! Ours consisted of 8 adults, and Tom was our guide. It was a really fun mix of Harry Potter trivia, quizzes and local historical information and ghost stories. It lasted around 2 hours and wasn’t too far to walk, with lots of historic locations to see along the way. Tom was really funny, personable, knowledgeable and articulate. He made the tour really interactive and lighthearted, even if you’re not a HP super fan! He also has really great hair!

Tom was absolutely a star. We did this tour with our 8 year granddaughter and she had a fabulous time. Going home and telling her mum all about it. Even my husband enjoyed it and he had been pulled along for the day.
Tom made it so much fun, questions about the Harry Potter books and films. Playing teams against each other but always making sure it was fun for all.
He also gave us a lot of information about York and its occupants. It's a long time since I've been to York and I now see it in a new light because of Tom. I will be coming back soon and joint something of the other walks around it.
I have mothers and grand parents of young children asking about out Harry Potter walk and tour and I have told them its brilliant and they need to book on it.
Thanks Tom for a great time.

We went on the Harry potter tour with Tom aka baby Hagrid. It was absolutely brilliant, we felt very welcome and comfortable from the meeting point, which was really easy to find. From there we went on a tour through your learning about york heritage, various ghost stories, a walk through the museums gardens and even to diagon alley. Tom held a Harry potter based quiz which was really entertaining. Would highly recommend, even if your not a fan, the sights and other local history was very informative and some extremely picturesque places to be seen. Thanks Tom

A wonderful and amazing tour with Tom that was interactive, fun and extremely well thought through.
We were able to have a wonderful nostalgic day of Harry Potter facts and for hubby who was dreading this tour who was dragged from the hotel hurling abuse for me booking a lame tour about HP - seem to have the most fun! You made him laugh and interact - trust me that's MASSIVE!
Thank you for being so enthusiastic and to ensure that you included 'everyone' you made us all feel special.
For waiting for us to catch up walking. For always reassuring us. For making us feel safe and important!
Thank you for taking pictures of us in your beautiful City, for sharing your experiences and for including facts about York for taking us through walk ways for the best City Photos and for showing us sites that no guide book would of been able to do!
You made it brilliant for us and for once I felt that I could sit back and relax and just enjoy the sites and be part of the fun rather than follow guide maps and books.
You sir Tom deserve the best and I wish you well for the future and I hope we get to visit York again.
Highly recommend booking this tour in the earlier days of your visit to York!
So glad I booked this.
Lots of love from

Me and my fiancée were thoroughly pleased with the tour. We were in a smaller group, but it was kept lively by our guide, Libby, who was chatty, humorous and informative with a clear love for Harry Potter and York. The trivia questions were really enjoyable and added a fun element of competition to the tour. We would definitely recommend to anybody who likes Harry Potter and also wants to know a bit about York's history.

We had a really interesting guide of York with lots of historical facts which corresponded wonderfully with York's 'Harry Potter' points of interest. Tom was really humorous, knowledgeable and did his best to keep everyone intrigued and involved. We loved his 'Hagrid' style, he made the tour!! Would definately recommend it, Sarah & Thomas x

Absolutely brilliant tour. A great blend of Harry Potter, York history and ghost stories. We were taken around by Tom who showed all the enthusiasm and energy needed to make the whole experience very enjoyable. I booked it as a birthday present for my girlfriend and he made the tour a fantastic part of her day. Well worth the time and the money and gives you a fantastic chance to see the best bits of York even if you are not the biggest HP fan.
