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!

Some criticism on guiding in the studios

4.00The instructions and demonstrations in the studios were difficult to follow for those who do not speak English as their native language. The content could have been presented a bit more slowly. The acoustics were also not the best possible. There are also too few languages that you provide the online translation.
Good value, helpful staff

4.00Very straight forward offering. They provide regular transportation to the Warner Bros studio for the tour. Clean comfortable busses. Flexible schedules and very helpful and responsive staff. We appreciated being able to change locations and times very easily.
Had a grand time

5.00The time at the Harry Potter Experience was great. We did everything in the time allotted. Food is an extensive and it would have been good to know that you had to wait for your time frame to enter the tour.
Less Than Golden Experience

4.00We selected Golden Tours versus another vendor based on it's official Warner Brother's Harry Potter Tour status and promise of a HP movie feature long the route. Despite mixed reviews, we decided to take a chance. The drop off and pick up went extremely smooth, however as many reviewers have shared; the mobile screens glitched and froze not really allowing for enjoyable movie viewing. There was also no way to control the section playing so you were at the mercy of chance. If a movie is promised, I do believe this issue should be resolved or it is consistently misleading and not really a distinction between carriers. We also chose the extended stay option, which proved unnecessary. We felt that we had plenty of time to see all the exhibits and have lunch without feeling rushed. Just a word to the wise.
Well organized, nice bus, but no airco, Harry Potter tour was amazing!

5.00It was wel organized, friendly staff. Bus was nice, but hot (why not airconditioning?) Drop off and pick up location was also good. But since the drive to the studio was over an hour, I felt we wanted to stay in the studio longer, but we had to rush out. That was a shame. but other than that, it was really nice!
Late, unsafe, irresponsible, and rude

1.00An abysmally disappointing experience. We were picked up for our tour more than an hour late, and no one contacted us to let us know about the delay. Paid for a booster seat for our daughter, and Golden Tours forgot to bring it. Missed the start date for our tour and had to cut our tour short. Tried to contact the company about a partial refund and were met with rudeness and dismissal. Our driver told us that this sort of thing happens all the time and encouraged us to issue a complaint against the management and booking system. Truly awful experience. We felt ripped-off and exploited, and our daughter's trip to the Harry Potter Studios was unsafe. Book with anyone else: GoldenTours is a disaster. The worst part of our trip to the U.K.
Great experience

5.00The experience was super amazing, food was delicious, drinks were unique to the theme. There is so much to see and do there is just not enough time in the day to get through it all. I purchased the audio just to get a little of backstage knowledge of the making. I did feel that I probably needed 30 mins more than the meet time given but that is something that is hard to change when so many people are there visiting. I would definitely do it again.
Easy to navigate

5.00We had a great experience. From the bus all the way through the tour and all of the employees who worked with it it was a 10 out of 10 experience for us.
Magical and grand experience

5.00My grown son rediscovered his childhood spirit during this experience. A long-time fan of Harry Potter, he was very moved to find many details of this wonderful universe. The sets are particularly grandiose. The price is rather high, but it reflects the quality of the park, which covers all elements related to the films (sets, props, costumes, special effects, models...). Well-organized bus transport.
Visit to Harry Potter with Golden Tours.

5.00I haI had a wonderful experience. We had booked private transfers. I requested to reschedule both the pick-up and drop-off, and they accommodated us. The tour was amazing. My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The cafeteria offered many vegetarian options. It was worth visiting.
