“We traveled from the USA to London, and while this wasn't the only reason for our trip, the Studio Tour was a super significant highlight we were really looking forward to. Unfortunately, the transportation organization was extremely disappointing and dampened the whole experience. To give you an idea of the actual timeline: - Departed: ~9:06 AM (left late) - Arrived at Studios: 10:08 AM - The Delay: Instead of heading in, we were made to sit on the bus until 10:36 AM while the guide retrieved tickets and handed them out one by one. - Entry: By the time we finally cleared security, we didn't get inside until 11:00 AM.…”

“We waited from 11:15-12:25 exactly where the meeting point was. The tour was supposed to start at 12:00! We finally gave up. Later I received an email telling me that the tour guide said we were no shows and our only recourse was to attend the next tour which was after we will have left London! I replied that this was unsatisfactory and never received a response. I will never use viator again.”

10.Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter and Oxford Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 592 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $183

Leave Gloucester Road at 7:30 am for a guided Oxford walk, free time, and about four hours at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. Guides such as Lucy, Amber, Ben, and Tom add history and practical help, while the coach handles the long day’s driving.

“This booking was a last resort, as we couldn’t secure tickets directly for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour for The Making of Harry Potter. The tour included a stop in Oxford, which had potential, but we were disappointed by the logistics. After a brief walking tour, we were left with 1.5 hours of free time in a town where most attractions don’t open until noon. With nothing to do, we returned to the coach early to rest, only to be told by the driver that she needed a legal break, and we weren’t allowed back on the bus. This forced us to kill time at a nearby Pret a Manger.…”
