This is the best day out in the UK, according to TripAdvisor
A Harry Potter walking tour of London has been named Britain's best day out in the TripAdvisor's Travellers Choice Awards 2020.
The experience, from tour company Viator, costs £18 and is a two hour and 15 minute 'muggles' experience for Harry Potter lovers visiting London. The outdoor alternative to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour takes fans to the magical movie locations around the capital, such as the real-life Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron and the Ministry of Magic.
Fans of the Harry Potter walking tour in London really rate it too, with one TripAdvisor reviewer saying: "I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Can’t wait to do it again."
Another wrote: "Our family of 4 (including two daughters, ages 10 and 6, who are both big Harry Potter fans) really enjoyed this tour. We all got something out of it, from those who have read the books and seen the movies multiple times (i.e., my 10 year old) and those who have more of a casual familiarity with Harry Potter (i.e., me).
"Luke was extremely personable, and was able to convey information in a way that was accessible to all. He was patient with my 10 year old peppering him with questions, and he had lots of great tidbits to share, both about Harry Potter and London more generally. He even made the Tube ride interesting!"
TripAdvisor's top 10 experiences in the UK wasn't all about London as the list includes days out in the Highlands, Oxford and Wiltshire, too.
A small tour of Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands came second after the Harry Potter walking tour of London, before a walking tour of Edinburgh's dark side. A skip-the-line Edinburgh Castle walking tour and a historical pub crawl in London also featured on the list.
