We saw Howarts 🥹
Visiting Harry Potter filming locations was one of the biggest dreams of my life. This was so emotional for me… I liked the most that our guide, Simon, is a big fan of the books himself. The trivia was so much fun. I wish I could spend more time in Lacock village to wandering around on my own but for my mom it was good amount of walking. Thank you Evans tours and Simon, my 11 year old self was chuffed to bits! 🌷

Touching Harry’s real world.

The most best tour I have ever been on
I would definitely do this again. Not only did Simon show us the filming locations of Harry Potter, but he made it very fun by adding trivia questions about Harry Potter but he also talked about other parts of History during the tour.

Hogwarts Harry Potter Tour
Our tour guide, Simon, was incredibly knowledgeable on the Harry Potter series and was able to bring to life the locations in the movies for our group. He brought a lovely atmosphere to the day.

Amazing Harry Potter Tour
Our guide, Simon, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. He explained everything clearly, which made the tour even more enjoyable. It would have been difficult to visit these places on my own from London, so I’m very glad I joined the tour. I was also very moved to see the places and scenery that I had seen in the Harry Potter films. It was a wonderful and memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted Simon made the tour enjoyable with his clear and friendly explanations. We’re especially glad you enjoyed seeing the Harry Potter filming locations and created such memorable moments! EvanEvansTour Team

Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 138 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds?
+
Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guided Tour of Harry Potter Film Locations of Lacock & Cotswolds?

Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop-off; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
