Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour Londres con transporte

Everything was perfect, 1 hour of travel and about 4 at the studios without rushing. The sets are incredible. We bought a flexible return time, but I don't think it's necessary. They didn't even look at our wristband.

We all loved it, a unique and unforgettable experience, although we were a bit winded doing the whole route.

Warner brother studios was amazing. We will definitely be coming back! But the golden tours transportation was a waste of money. It was expensive, and the time scheduled for the return transport was way too short time to go through without hurrying. We only bought the transport because it was the only way to get tickets to the studios. It would have been faster and more flexible to go by shuttle bus and train. Lastly the golden tours bus offered screens to watch the first Harry Potter movie and play games, but they did not work most of the time, either the kept freezing or the sound didn’t work.

Don’t book in summer; their buses don’t have air conditioning; our kids felt sick; their customer service doesn’t reply; the driver could not do anything; on top, they gave is headphones but there was nu plug for the kids to use it; very bad experience

We chose the Warner Brothers Harry Potter tour with private transport from London. We chose this tour for the flexibility in timing. We had only a short stay in London and wanted to get back to the city and enjoy the other sites. Our chaffuer was outstanding. Communicated before arrival, Promplty dropped us off at the entrcne gate, told us where to go to get our tickets and where he would be to pick us up. It was flawless, He was exactly where he said he would be at the proper time and met us half way from the entrance. He shuttles us back into the city a few hours ahead of the planned timing and we enjoyed more of what London offers. The actual tour itself was very fun and far better than we expected. Overall an outstanding day and optimized our time well.

The studios are worth it, but I DO NOT recommend taking the tour with Golden Tours My experience with Golden Tours to visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter has been quite negative. The studios themselves seem like a practically mandatory visit for any Harry Potter fan, but I do not recommend doing it through Golden Tours. From the beginning, the organization leaves a lot to be desired. In the emails, they insist that you have to be at the pickup point about 15-20 minutes early, which is understandable when it comes to a scheduled service. The problem is that, if you don't know London, locating the bus can become a real problem. They tell you it could be at different stands—for example, 1, 8, or 12—which are also completely far apart from each other. There are no clear enough directions to know exactly where you have to go. The bus ride is normal, although the seats seemed quite uncomfortable to me. Also, you have to keep asking where to get the headphones to be able to use the content on the screens. And here comes another disappointment: although the screens allow you to select different languages, the movie they show, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was only available in English and with English subtitles. To top it off, the image quality was terrible, far below what is currently expected, and in our case, the movie even stopped and didn't play again. The trip, furthermore, feels quite tedious. The bus goes through London until it reaches the studios, when it feels like there could be a much more direct way to make the trip. And the worst part is that the trip has practically nothing thematic about it. The bus simply has a Harry Potter vinyl wrap that, honestly, seemed quite tacky to me compared to other buses that you can see at the studios themselves, with much more striking decorations. Also, don't expect an especially thematic experience from the staff. The people accompanying the trip are dressed in completely normal clothes and during the journey they do not offer explanations or interesting information about London or about the locations related to Harry Potter. Considering that you are traveling through the city, they could take advantage of the journey to tell curiosities, filming locations, or references to the saga and make the trip part of the experience. However, that is not the case. The main problem: the time inside the studios This is where I consider that Golden Tours especially fails. The ticket indicates seven hours, but you have to understand that those seven hours include both the round-trip travel and the time inside the studios. In reality, you have approximately three and a half or four hours to visit Warner Bros. Studio Tour. And, in my opinion, it is completely insufficient. The first 35-40 minutes are practically spent between the initial rooms and the screenings. Afterward you have to go through the entire studio, stop to see the sets, read information, enjoy the scenes, take photographs, and see the different experiences and performances. In addition, the shop is huge and, if you want to look around calmly and buy a souvenir, you can easily lose half an hour or more. If you want to eat, you still have to subtract more time. In three hours or three and a half hours you cannot enjoy the studios calmly. You have to go practically running from one place to another if you want to try to see everything, and even then you end up missing an important part of the experience. If you want to take photographs, read the information, enjoy the recreations, see the performances, and simply stop to contemplate the sets, you have to be constantly watching the clock. And that seems especially frustrating to me on a visit that costs so much money. In my case I paid around 165 dollars (about 155 euros, approximately) for the tour. For that price I expected to be able to enjoy the experience without having the constant feeling of running. What surprises me the most is that we are talking about an official tour related to Warner. I am not saying they have to leave you inside the studios for ten hours, but five or six hours would seem much more reasonable to me to be able to really enjoy everything they offer. Furthermore, the operation is quite rigid: if you are not on the bus at the indicated time for the return, you lose the return transportation and have to fend for yourself, despite having paid a considerable amount for a service that is sold as a complete experience. I even had a situation that seemed quite worrying to me: I stayed inside the bus until practically the last moment and the staff did not even realize that I was still inside. Every time someone got off, there was no clear check that no one was left in the vehicle. It seems to me a quite significant lack of attention on the part of the staff. Customer service Unfortunately, I cannot highlight the treatment received from Golden Tours positively either. Both over the phone and during the experience, my impression was quite bad. What bothers me the most is that it seems that Golden Tours knows perfectly well how much time you really have inside the studios and even so maintains that it is enough to see everything. For someone who does not know how this type of tour works, it is very easy to buy it thinking that you will have seven hours to enjoy Warner Bros., when in reality a significant part of that time is consumed by travel. My recommendation The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London I do recommend 100%. Golden Tours, no. If you go to London and want to visit the Harry Potter studios, my recommendation would be to look for an alternative to get there directly on your own. It will probably be more economical and, above all, you will have much more freedom to enjoy the visit without constantly watching the clock. The studios are spectacular and, if you are a Harry Potter fan, they are really very much worth it. But the experience with Golden Tours seems excessively expensive to me for the actual time they allow you to enjoy there and for the quality of the service received. For me, it is a lack of consideration toward the fans of the saga and toward any visitor who pays a significant amount expecting to be able to enjoy the studios with peace of mind. In short: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, yes. Golden Tours, no. If you can go on your own, do it. You will have more time, more freedom, and probably a much more pleasant experience. ⭐ The studios are worth visiting, but I absolutely do NOT recommend going with Golden Tours My experience with Golden Tours for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter was quite disappointing. The studios themselves are absolutely worth visiting and, for any Harry Potter fan, I would consider them a must-see. However, I would strongly recommend avoiding Golden Tours and finding another way to get there. From the very beginning, the organization leaves a lot to be desired. The emails repeatedly insist that you must arrive at the meeting point 15-20 minutes early, which is understandable for a scheduled service. However, if you do not know London well, finding the correct bus can be unnecessarily difficult. You are told that the bus may be at different stands — for example, stand 1, 8 or 12 — which can be completely opposite from one another. There are not enough clear directions to help you find exactly where you are supposed to go. The bus journey itself is nothing special, and I found the seats quite uncomfortable. You also have to keep asking where you can get headphones to use the entertainment system. And this is another major disappointment: although the screens allow you to select different languages, the film being shown, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was only available in English with English subtitles. To make matters worse, the image quality was extremely poor, far below what you would expect nowadays, and during our journey the film stopped playing and never resumed. The journey itself is also unnecessarily long and tiring. The bus goes through London on its way to the studios, when it feels like the journey could be made much more direct. Even worse, there is almost nothing magical or Harry Potter-themed about the journey. The bus simply has a Harry Potter vinyl wrap which, honestly, looked rather cheap compared with other buses you can see at the studios, which have much more impressive and attractive designs. Do not expect much of a themed experience from the staff either. The people accompanying the journey are simply wearing normal clothes, and they do not provide any interesting information about London or Harry Potter filming locations along the way. Considering that you are travelling through London, they could easily make the journey part of the experience by pointing out filming locations, interesting facts or references to the Harry Potter films. Unfortunately, none of that happens. The biggest problem: the lack of time at the studios This is where I feel Golden Tours fails the most. The ticket states seven hours, but those seven hours include the journey to and from the studios as well as the actual visit. In reality, you only have approximately three and a half to four hours inside the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. In my opinion, that is nowhere near enough time. The first 35-40 minutes are largely taken up by the initial rooms and screenings. After that, you have the entire studio to explore, including sets, information, props, photographs, experiences and performances. The shop is also huge, and if you want to browse properly and buy a souvenir, you can easily spend 30 minutes or more there. If you want to eat, you have even less time available. With only three to three and a half hours, you simply cannot enjoy the studios at a relaxed pace. You have to move from one area to another extremely quickly if you want to see as much as possible, and even then you will inevitably miss a significant part of the experience. If you want to take photographs, read the information, enjoy the sets, watch the performances and simply stop to appreciate everything around you, you constantly have to keep an eye on the clock. That is incredibly frustrating, especially considering how expensive the tour is. I personally paid around $165 (approximately €155) for this tour. Por ese precio, esperaba poder disfrutar de la experiencia en lugar de sentir constantemente que estaba compitiendo contra el reloj. Lo que más me sorprende es que este sea un tour oficial conectado con Warner Bros. No digo que los visitantes necesiten pasar diez horas dentro de los estudios, pero cinco o seis horas serían mucho más razonables si el objetivo es realmente disfrutar de todo adecuadamente. El viaje de regreso también es extremadamente rígido. Si no está en el autobús a la hora programada, pierde su transporte de regreso y tiene que buscar su propia forma de volver, a pesar de haber pagado una cantidad considerable de dinero por lo que se presenta como una experiencia de tour completa. También tuve una experiencia particularmente preocupante: Permanecí en el autobús hasta casi el final y el personal ni siquiera se dio cuenta de que todavía estaba dentro. A medida que la gente bajaba del autobús, no parecía haber ningún control adecuado para asegurarse de que nadie se quedara atrás. Me pareció una falta de atención muy grave por parte del personal. Atención al cliente Desafortunadamente, tampoco puedo decir nada positivo sobre la atención al cliente de Golden Tours. Tanto por teléfono como durante la experiencia en sí, el trato me pareció decepcionante. Lo que más me frustra es que Golden Tours sabe claramente lo poco tiempo que tienen realmente los visitantes dentro de los estudios, y aun así siguen afirmando que es suficiente para verlo todo. Para alguien que no está familiarizado con cómo funcionan estos tours, es muy fácil comprar la entrada creyendo que tendrá siete horas para disfrutar de Warner Bros., cuando una parte importante de esas siete horas se pasa realmente viajando. Mi recomendación Recomiendo absolutamente visitar el Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. NO recomiendo ir con Golden Tours. Si está visitando Londres y quiere ver los estudios de Harry Potter, le recomendaría encarecidamente buscar otra forma de llegar allí de manera independiente. Probablemente será más barato y, lo más importante, tendrá mucha más libertad y tiempo para disfrutar de la experiencia sin estar mirando constantemente el reloj. The studios themselves are fantastic and, if you are a Harry Potter fan, they are absolutely worth visiting. However, my experience with Golden Tours was far too expensive for the amount of time you actually get at the studios and for the quality of service provided. In my opinion, this is a huge disservice to Harry Potter fans and to anyone spending a significant amount of money expecting to enjoy the studios properly. In short: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London — absolutely yes. Golden Tours — absolutely not. If you can make your own way there, do it. You will have more time, more freedom and, most likely, a much better experience.

Great experience . The admission fee is included with transport. We were there 4 hours. Great atmosphere. It was my son's 33rd birthday and he has a learning disability. Thry let him open the doors and he received 2 special birthday badges and an envelope addressed to Harry Potter. Highly recommended.

For the Harry Potter studios we booked this with private transfer. The driver picked us up at the hotel at the appointed time. The tour itself was great but also the pick up at the agreed hour back to the hotel. All this gave our experience an extra dimension. No hassle with groups and different pickup points. Straight from hotel to studios and back. We recommend this to everyone.

It was good the instructions was clear to understand the only thing was when we had to get back, it wasn’t exactly on time that they gave us and also they should’ve informed us that there was a buffer time because i didn’t get to buy from the gift shop because i had to run to the bus and then it wasn’t there yet

The Harry Potter Studio was on my long waiting bucket list and it was amazing! It is expensive, but it was absolutely worth it, especially the flexible return option. I spend about 6 hours in the studios and more would easily be possible. There are a lot of guides and their service is perfect, also if you havr special conditions or need assistance. I will come again and can defintely recommend it to all Harry Potter Fans!
