What people are saying about Palace Theatre

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!

Top guide, we had a great time with the family in London, the visit exceeded our expectations, lots of information was given, we learned a lot. replaying the scenes of the different Harry potter films was a magical and pleasant moment. I highly recommend.

Exceptional tour guide in John (Hagrid) really felt he went the extra mile to provide us with the best experience possible. Highly recommend for any Harry Potter fan.
