From London: Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour - Leaving from Victoria Coach Station

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

Review of the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour from London, with transport, highlights, timing, price, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“This was an easy way to get tickets when we don't know to book early through official means. It's simply a bus ride and an entry. It's a bit more expensive than the official means. There was little value added other than last minute access at a premium. We went on a Sunday and it was a smooth journey taking about an hour. The Harry Potter WB Studio Tour is amazing. Well worth the premium to use this method if you are booking late.”

“Well, I visited London during Christmas and took this bus on December 24th, 2025. The City was sooo crowded and cold that we couldn't seat upstairs in the open. The audio/ commentaries were not synchronized so, we ended up listening to music, most of the time with a huge delay...not understanding what they were commenting on. Im not sure how they work or operates through rest of the year but, not satisfactory during Christmas season”

“The best portion of this was fine. We enjoyed it. I would give that four stars. We had a knowledgeable tour guide who was terrific however, booking the train was such a hassle that we ended up just going through another service and paying for the same thing again. If we’ve known it was gonna be such a hassle to book the train from London to Liverpool and that it wasn’t something we could order as part of a package I suspect we probably would not have booked this one through via tour just the one through Goldentours, which is all inclusive. I get five stars to the tour guide…”

He not only told us so much info on the Beatles and other things but he also played the guitar and sang some of the songs. He was so funny and when we stopped to take pictures bothering he and Joe took pictures of us for us. Loved them both along with this tour. Very worth the price.”
