“Jack was a brilliant tour guide, he was so knowledgeable about Harry Potter, but gave us lots of interesting facts about London too. I would definitely recommend doing this tour. The only thing I would mention is the fact that the iPad that he was carrying was quite badly cracked and some of the tour was based on watching a video on the screen, which was really hard to see.”

The views are absolutely stunning along the way and each stop gave you a chance to stretch your legs and take in the scenery. Robert, our tour guide, was absolutely incredible! He was very knowledgeable, witty, and checked in with everyone throughout the trip. Bonus points for his driving playlist!! John, our driver, was also amazing!! It’s a very long day but so worth it. The coach itself was very comfy to have a little nap as well. So pleased with our trip!”
