“Great experience. We booked the last trip that left Victoria Coach Station at 12:45 pm and returned at 7:30pm. We walked nonstop and yet, we missed a few things. There is so much to see. I would recommend going early, planning for lunch there, and taking your time. Plan for resting and refueling time. It is definitely worth spending a full day taking it all in.”

You were able to procede at your own speed to become immersed in what drew your attention the most. Of course one highlight was partaking of the 'butterbeer'. One surprise was as new as the studio is, I was surprised there was still a line at the womens restrooms and also not knowing how much was always left to see, it was hard to pace yourself. You probably need to spend…”
