3.Warner Bros. Studio Tour and Morning Train Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 176 reviews · from $130

Harry Potter fans get a Warner Bros. Studio Tour ticket with an easy Euston–Watford train ride and flexible return timing.

“Pretty straight forward. We bought the entry ticket with transportation. We stayed in soho so from there we went to the eustion station and took the trolley to Watford junction. From there as soon as you leave watford station you’ll see the line for the Harry Potter shuttle. Came within 10 mins and took us to the studio. When coming back you’ll take the same shuttle that dropped you off back to that same pick up station next to watford junction. You’ll then take the trolly back to eustion. Definitely recommend if you love Harry Potter and not sure how to get there on your own.Read more”

Eurostar day trip from London to Paris with reserved seats and a hop-on hop-off bus voucher, so you can plan your own sights.

“good rate overall but with the express train out there were no stops so I/we expected the same on the return and were not told there would be at least 1 (more?) so we rushed to beat everyone off the train to try to get a taxi only to find out we were 40 miles or so outside of London. Luckily there was another train about 30 min later we were able to catch back to London.”

8.Edinburgh, Loch Ness, The Highlands from London – 3 Day Rail Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 40 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $1,235

Rail from London to Edinburgh plus a Highlands day to Loch Ness, Inverness, Ben Nevis, and Glencoe, with castle entry and a 24-hour bus pass.

“Edinburgh is a beautiful city to explore. The tour was very independent, meaning there was lot of options on when to visit Edinburgh Castle or take a ride on the Hop On, Hop Off bus tour. The hotel was a Holiday Inn, which was not located in the city center. You either had to cab or take local transit to get there. I was disappointed that on the day of the Highlands bus tour there was no hotel pick up or drop off. With such an early departure, it was a rush to have breakfast at the hotel which was included and then take a bus to the meeting point.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $116

Seven Sisters chalk cliffs and Brighton by train with tickets included, plus guided stops, free time in town, and a private group day.

“The cliffs were beautiful. The bus was very comfortable and our guide gave us lots of facts about the countryside we were driving through (gorgeous views). We even stopped of at a local farm. If the weather isn’t calm (was very windy our day because a storm was starting), I wouldn’t recommend doing the optional walk along the top of the cliffs back to the visitor center because the winds at the top of the cliffs were too strong (just get off the bus at the visitor center for great views/ pictures). Brighton was wonderful and very walkable. I love how we had free time there to explore/ we got…”

2-day rail trip to Liverpool with Beatles hotel, Cavern Club entry, and a guided Magical Mystery Tour to Penny Lane.

“El viaje ha sido una experiencia sorprendente e inesperada por espectacular. Liverpool es único, si te gusta la música es tu sitio. La excursión es perfecta, todo bien organizado y correctisimo. El hotel A Hard day’s Night es espectacular, el desayuno de buffet muy bueno. Los viajes en tren muy bien y las dos excursiones también. El museo nos encantó, tiene mucha información y está bien recreado y el tour en bus dura 2 horas y recorre todos los lugares emblemáticos de los Beatles. Como posibilidad de mejora, diría que una de las dos excursiones, entiendo que la del Museo de los Beatles, debería estar abierta en horario para poder…”
