Valentina and James were great, fun to be with, took the time to get to know each guest and asked often how we were doing. 3-4 hours in Harry Potter Warner Bros studios with children was good, not too many people together in one group (we went in winter, maybe there are more people later in the year). I thought the trip would be heavy, with Oxford in the afternoon, but that was not the case at all! Very nice trip, all in all.

In trying to book a Harry Potter and London walking tour, we found there were a ton out there and boy, we picked the right one! Brian was an excellent tour guide - everyone in our family really enjoyed ourselves and learned so much!!!

It was amazing. We saw a lot and I would really recommend this trip as Harry Potter Fans.

Loved the tour with Brian !! My kids had the greatest time.

Bryan was a very cheerful and pleasant guide! Loved it!
