Hi! I'm Dewi, and I've worked as a tour guide for the last 12 years. Wow, how time has flown! Since starting work as a tour guide in 2013, I have built up an impressive reputation for excellence and fantastic customer service with several tour guiding companies. In the autumn of 2018, after working for other companies for five years and moving from a part-time guide to Head Guide and then the maternity cover for the Tour Director of a major UK tourism provider, I decided to begin offering my own unique tours through ToursByLocals. My interest as a guide includes film and TV tourism. I originally trained as an Actor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and have worked on numerous film and TV productions with companies, including the BBC. In fact, I am the only tour guide in the universe who can say they have stepped through the doors of the Tardis, as I was involved in filming a BBC Doctor Who ident in 2016. I am also a massive history geek who loves the history of the early to mid-20th century, especially the espionage of the Second World War. I love sharing my passion for history with others. All my tours are based on things that I love: film and TV, and my passion as a performer, director and teacher of Shakespeare and History. I can lead tours on everything from James Bond, Doctor Who and Downton Abbey to tours on the life of Sir Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare and the real world of London's secretive Spies. While being based in London, I am also able to conduct tours to South Wales (where the hit TV series Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sherlock were filmed and where His Dark Materials was filmed in 2018) and can take customers from London to Wales if they wish to explore the beautiful Welsh countryside. I can also accompany clients to the filming locations of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films (London, Oxford, and Lacock), as well as the filming locations for the hit TV series and the upcoming film of Downton Abbey. Given my range of film and TV knowledge, I can also create custom tours for clients interested in two or more film or TV shows but have only a short amount of time to explore the UK's vast film and TV sites. Currently researching a Doctorate at Queen Mary University of London. Master of Science (MSc) Degree Master of Arts (MA) Degree Bachelor of Arts (BA Hons) Degree Public Liability Insurance Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding; I can offer a full range of experiences.

Following this, I will be taking a short break between the 21st and 29th June 2026. As I will be out of the UK during this time, my response times may therefore be slower than usual.

I believe that Harry Potter changed the world. No book series before or since has had an impact on so many people, muggle and wizard alike. I remember devouring all the books, which was difficult for me as I'm dyslexic, but the magic of the Wizarding World helped me get through the books time and time again. My magical Harry Potter Walking Tour Of London offers you the chance to see the filming locations from the Harry Potter film franchise, explore locations mentioned in the books, and learn more about the 'boy who lived' from a passionate Harry Potter fan. Along the way, I'll explain what parts of London inspired J. K. Rowling, how these places were transfigured into the books, and how the Harry Potter films re-energised the British film industry. There will also be plenty of opportunities to re-enact scenes from the films as well as stops for selfies, pauses for photos, and the opportunity to learn a little bit more about London in general.
We don't want to tell you everywhere you will go on this tour - that would spoil some of the magic and mystery of the tour. What we will say is that the tour will start at the closest Harry Potter location to where I meet you and will include all of the following locations. Monument The Leaky Caldron from the Philosopher's Stone London Bridge Borough Market The Globe Millennium Bridge St Paul's Cathedral Gringott's Bank Trafalgar Square Whitehall Westminster Kings Cross Comfy walking shoes are a must, as walking around London is often the fastest way to travel (without a broomstick of course!) Dont worry we will have time to stop for a drink approximately half way through the tour. We will also use the 'trains under ground!' as Arthur Wesley would say which gives us another chance to rest our feet. If you're not used to the Muggle transports system don't worry, I will help you buy tickets, board trains, and get around the amazing muggle city. Locations are approximately 5 - 10 minutes apart.
