A truly magical tour!

Ellie was a fantastic tour guide today. We had the best time exploring York. Learning facts about the beautiful city and its relation to the Harry Potter films. We loved playing along with the quiz and testing our Harry Potter knowledge along the way. Ellie was easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable and just all around lovely!

Harry Potter Walking Tour York

Molly was a lovely and engaging young guide who knew her topic very well. As well as Harry Potter related info, you will also learn some interesting York related history, so bonus there. The tour takes about 1.5 - 2 hours and goes surprisingly quite quickly. We really enjoyed and would recommend
