Entertaining tour lead by a top guide (Pearl); my daughter (10) enjoyed very much, particularly the quiz competition.

Good walk and explanations about Potter and London in general, not Harry Potter only

We had an excellent bike tour of London with the brilliant tour guide Ceri.

Our guide Oliver made sure we all enjoyed lovely walk and had good time

I liked everything about it and nothing needs to be approved.
