Review of the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour from London, with transport tips, set highlights, timing, costs, and advice for booking.

“Tour staff were helpful and friendly. The exhibit was great! There was authentic costumes, props, facts from filming, and we got lucky they were having a “Dark Arts” bonus feature whilst we were there with Death Eaters doing mini-shows. Was suitable for all ages and different tech used to enhance the experience. Tour company provided sufficient time to do the experience, we had time to eat afterwards”

“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.”

“Our Irish tour guide Dave was terrific, being both knowledgeable and entertaining. We happened to run across the local artist Ben Wilson (chewing gum paintings) at work and got to meet him and learn about his work, which can be found all over the city. Also we witnessed some activity apparently related to the Irish rap group Kneecap and a small crowd of their vocal supporters outside of a courthouse on the way to our final pub.

“Next time I would go in the morning. The first slot. I really get, that kids love the movies but there is no reason for the parents to let them push you around so they can be the first somewhere. I get it I grew up with the movies so this was little bit frustrating. Also the lack of consideration in people is sad. So that's the only reason why I would say ... go in the morning. And definitely not on the weekend!!!”

“The day trip to Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford was beyond my expectations and that was thanks to Phill and Patrick. Phill looks like a character from one of the books housed in the Oxford library. The Ascot tie and cap outfit, the brown leather shoes and the pipe that completes the image and of course the indispensable umbrella because we also had some rain. And the knowledge shared is worthy of the British encyclopedia. I recommend it with all my heart.”
