“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.”
