From London: Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour

From London: Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour - Victoria Coach Station: How to Board Without Stress

1.From London: Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26,588 reviews · 7 hours · from $117Our pick

Warner Bros. Studio Tour from London: Diagon Alley, Platform 9 ¾, Hogwarts Express, Gringotts, and real movie sets, props, and effects.

“The bus transport was convenient and on time in both directions. Gate at Victoria coach station was well marked and there was helpful staff. All very well organized. Experience at the studios is impressive, even if one is not into Harry Potter. But it is sure crowded and quite expensive. Even though most operators offer a four hours stay at the studios, this is insufficient. Even after skipping the queues for the train and platform 93/4 photo spot, we had trouble finishing in time.”

“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.”

“Worst experience we had in London!! Do NOT do one of these tours. This company left a family of 5 stranded in the London freezing weather as we waited for 45 minutes for the bus to come pick us up at their required spot (#13) near the London Eye. Noone showed up so we were forced to spend more money for a cab to get us home. I placed a formal request for a refund and it was denied. Unbelievably poor customer service. Do NOT waste your money!!!”

12.Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter Tour with Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 9,485 reviews · 7 - 8 hours · from $116

London coach day trip to Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter: authentic sets, Great Hall walkthrough, and roundtrip transfers in 7-8 hours.

“The studio is very cool for any harry potter fan. Some really cool photo stops but better for a pair or group. The bus there was comfortable and did have charging ports but USB only. I felt a little pressured as you had to be back to the bus on time rather than taking as much time as you wanted but I still preferred this to having to organise my own transport. I took my own food but it was terrible over priced inside. If you have more time I would say stop at the cafe inside for a rest.”
