What To Expect
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter
Begin where Harry started, at the Cupboard Under the Stairs, before watching an enchanting welcome video and heading into The Great Hall – one of the biggest sets at the studios. As you travel through, see an unbelievable selection of actual costumes, props and special effects pieces, all kept in pristine condition. As you explore the studios, see The Burrow, Hagrid’s Hut, the Gryffindor Common Room, Dumbledore’s office and much more. From small details like Dumbledore’s Pensieve to the larger pieces like the fantastic animatronic door to the Chamber of Secrets. Have fun riding a broom through London at the Green Screen exhibit and board the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9¾. See Privet Drive, the Knight Bus, buy a Butterbeer™ on the backlot and get up close to the prosthetics and animatronics in the special effects department – there is so much to see you will be thankful to have an extended time to take it all in. Gringotts Wizarding Bank Enter the all new Gringotts Wizarding Bank on Diagon Alley and discover the magical treasures within. Step into Bellatrix Lestrange’s vault to find the Sword of Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, one of Voldemort’s many Horcruxes, before taking a unique photo surrounded by thousands of pieces of magical treasure…unless the goblins find you first!

5.00Really great tour offered by Matteo! Thank you for all the interesting facts about the West End theatres, architecture, hidden secrets and for the patience with us to look around the various markets!

5.00We had a great experience with Golden Tours. We had been to Warner Bros Studio Harry Potter tour. The instructions were clear. The staff at the office where we had our pick up was nice and communicated clearly. The pick and drop was smooth and on time.
Mostly a good experience but bus stop attendant spoiled the magic

3.00The bus stop was easy to find, the bus its self looked amazing. We were told to arrive 15minutes before our departure time for the woman at the stand to shout at us that we were early….she then shouted at the front of the queue to move back, but the amount of people behind them made it impossible, she was told this but still just stood and barked to move back. She wasn’t very friendly and probably shouldn’t be in a customer facing role. The bus back the TVs weren’t working so we just had to sit in silence for the journey back (the 15:15 return to Victoria)
Wonderful experience for any Harry Potter fans

5.00This experience is an absolute must for any Harry Potter fans visiting London. We booked the 9:30am roundtrip bus trip from Kings Cross Station. If you want to get a photo at platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross, you need to allow at least 45 minutes extra before the bus leaves. The bus ride was seamless and easy, lasting a little more than an hour. We were able to watch HP1 on the way there. When we arrived we were given admission tickets. We grabbed food from the cafe before entering the tour. Our tour tickets were timed at 11:30am, but we were allowed in at 11:05am. We had to be back on the bus at 3pm. This was a great amount of time, but we could have spent more time there if we didn't need to be back on the bus. We ate lunch in the backlot cafe. The food was fine but the butter beer and butter beer ice cream were great! Be sure to give yourself time at the end to shop in their massive gift shop and wait in line to pay before you need to be back on the bus.
Stunning

Worst tour driving ever in a European country

1.00Golden tours staff was very unfriendly and stressed at meeting point and gave us the wrong tickets. We had to argue to get the correct info (good thing we were well prepared). No baby protection seat provided for our 1.5 year old even though we contacted them a day ahead of the booking. Bus drive back to London was speeding so strollers flew from their parkingspot inside the bus. Passengers had to rearrange and pick everything up while the bus was speeding and taking sharp turns, which actually became dangerous. Parents had to push their children back in the seats so they wouldn't fall out. The park was amazing though, a must go for all HP fans! 😁
You need a whole day

4.00Truth is impressive, but the duration is short, in our case 4 hours. There is a lot to see and if you want to see things well or take pictures, or solve the puzzles that send you... There's no time for everything. Also you have to drink at least one buttered beer and see the shop which is immense
Turist need to stay away from this

1.00Absolutt unprofesjonal, we paid 88£ to get from and back from the studio they only take your money. Leave you there no system of which bus you need to get in. Enden with me and my familie taking the metro home using even more money and the best they could do is give me 8£ when the whole trip back home cost me over the dobbel. It is a fraud and there way to milk turists.
Amazing, just the way back was a let-down

4.00The tour was marvellous! I detracted one point, however, because the bus after the tour did not take us back to London Victoria, but dropped us all off at Euston. From there, it took us quite a while to get back into the city, and I did not know beforehand that we would have to find our own way back.
Good, but confusing

4.00The studio was beautifully done. Instructions to get to the bus stop were very difficult for us to figure out. We came out a different door on the subway. Thee was no explanation on the bus itself until you got off and we were told to be back at 5:15. A few words to explain would have been appreciated
