Warner Bros Studio Tour London - The Making Of Harry Potter With Hotel Pick-up

Our driver Rob was 10/10 in communication, friendliness, and punctuality. He messaged me an hour before pickup so I would have his contact, along with a photo of his vehicle. He got us there early so we were one of the first in the queues, and we had ample time to get through the studio. (4 hours was enough and we are HUGE HP fans). The studio itself was incredible and you can feel the magic of the movies with each new room. Even if you don’t like HP, anyone could appreciate the art of filmmaking. Costumes, sets, makeup, immersive experiences. Butter beer is a must! (Both drink and ice cream).4 hours was ample time to souvenir shop and eat lunch too. Id recommend to anyone going to London.

Four hours is not enough to do the tour at a leisurely pace and try out the activities like the broomstick green screen and the chocolate frog card. However, there was good communication before the tour and the driver was courteous and timely.

A little pricey but worth the convenience and great service. Our driver Gabor was great. He texted me before the trip to let me know when he was arriving so we were prepared. He arrived on time and the Mercedes van was comfortable for the 6 passengers. The drive from central London was about an hour or so. Getting into the Harry Potter WB studios was a breeze. Don’t forget to grab a passport for fun activities. 3-4 hours was all we needed. For uber fans who want to read all of the display placards, you may need more time. Our driver arrived to pick us on time and even did us a favor and dropped us off at another location on the way back.

Wonderful driver and such a fantastic experience!! I highly recommend it!

This is a MUST DO tour for any Harry Potter fan! It was a wonderful experience and extremely immersive. I will do this again on my next trip to London. Our tour driver was Mark, who I highly recommend!

Really cool experience to see the actual sets and props for the making of these iconic movies. Not a theme park and no rides or 3D experiences, walk in diagon alley, gringots bank, and an amazing creation of a scaled model used for the scenes of the Hogwarts castle.

The driver was amazing! Very friendly and caring and on time and smooth! Highly rated and well worth it from central London

The driver was extremely nice and arrived on time and came back early in case we wanted to leave - which we weren’t so he waited for us. It made it easy for us to get to the Warner bros studio with 3 teenagers without having to get up super early to go to where the bus left from. Quite convenient!!

Great experience! Incredible to see all the movie sets. Would definitely do it again. Very memorable

A very smooth ride to Watford from London and back in a cozy Mercedes minivan. Pick up at the hotel, the driver was very nice. Upon arrival, he delivered us entry tickets without an audio guide, which, by the way, is not needed in the first place, and we had 4 hours to explore the studio, which is just the right time to do it comfortably, together with a short 30–40 minute quick lunch. The great thing is that if the driver cannot see you in front of your hotel right as he arrives, he will call you to make sure everyone is on board. On the contrary, you need to be on time as advised to return. The experience itself in the studio was amazing, so many interesting facts to learn about the complexity of filming, special effects, together with the regular film set. Sound effects are added for a more authentic experience. Whoever claims to be a Harry Potter fan should visit the studio. Those who are not fans will become fans after this experience.

It was a fantastic experience. Well paced and something for everybody even those that haven’t read the books or seen the films.

Incredible experience! We enjoyed every minute of the tour. It was far more than we expected. My son has been a Harry Potter fan for years, and he loved it! Fun to see the actual movie sets!

We loved all our Viator Tours in London! Our driver picked us up from our hotel and was waiting for us outside Warner Bros Studios at the agreed-upon time when we were all finished with the Harry Potter Tour. The Harry Potter Tour was self-guided. We definitely had enough time to see all the exhibits and even grab a bite to eat. Although he said he wasn’t a tour guide, our driver pointed out many sights and did a fantastic job giving us a great ride and making it extra special for us!

We had this tour of Harry Potter booked for pick up at 8:30 am with private transportation. The driver arrived at 8:20 am and we came downstairs to find our transportation was shared and there were additional guests to pick up who were 30 minutes away. We are all over 6 feet tall and can’t sit in the back row and need space, so we booked a private transport so we would be comfortable. We told the driver we wanted to take an Uber when he picked up the guests after us. He informed us that he had to get to the studios to give us the tickets and didn’t have them with him to give to us. You don’t get the tickets when you book. You have to arrive with your transport and get them via the driver. We were stuck there for the duration of the trip. This was not communicated in the description of the tour with private transportation. We were not told it was a shared driver. We were told to be ready at 8:30 am, but we did not get on the road until 9 am. The tickets for admission were 10-10:30 am and that was also not in the description. The driver driver 80 mph the entire trip and almost crashed or hit another vehicle several times. It was terrifying. We did not travel home with the group and instead paid for an Uber ride back to the hotel. I will 100% NOT recommend this tour to anyone. The studio tour was amazing! But, do not book the tour with private transport unless you want to share the ride, arrive late, and have a nail biting 60+ minute drive to the studios. I would give studio tour 5⭐️, but the transport and communication 0 ⭐️

The hotel pickup driver was very nice, but went to a side entrance instead of the lobby entrance. The delivery driver was good but wanted everyone to be dropped off at one location, but delivered everyone back to their respective hotels. The Universal sets were great, a true Harry Potter experience, worth the time and money.

Do not book this experience with this operator as they have no compassion, booked early April for Easter week though by accident booked for May, literally 2 min after and more than a month in advance tried changing or if the operator can provide an alternative though no compassion. No refund no nothing. I’m sure this experience is amazing though if you are not 1001% sure of your plans, I’m sure there are alternatives to book with!!! I have booked with Viator multiple times in Egypt, Mexico, France, London though the support from them was horrible (if something goes wrong YOUR ISSUE) again book with someone else there are a lot, I made the mistake and thought loyalty meant something

Excellent experience wish we had more time. Transport service was great. The venue was amazing. Had 4 hours for the tour. Six would be better.

Trip was good and quiet. No issues with the tickets (driver bought them). We were 5 people in a van and fitted comfortably. My only discomfort is that this was advertised to last 4-5h in the Studio. However we only got around 2h30 which is a pretty short amount of time, because of this I missed activities and rushed into the tour, there were a lot of things I couldn’t see well. If you want to get the whole experience I would recommend at least 4h. It’s a shame considering the price and how far it is for foreigners.

The tour was very nice but the operators were not that organised. The cafe there was nice and the gifts store. There are lots of interactions to be done there

The whole experience was outstanding. You don't have to be a Harry Potter tragic to marvel at the production of this series. There was a 'Dark Arts' theme going for this month (?) and although the costumes and acting were predictably good, it failed to add any "wow" factor, in my opinion. Excellent displays of the sets, costumes and illustrations, including the special effects that went into the production process. We were provided transport that was very efficient and reliable. A great day !

Went with my mom and son - one being a huge fan the other not knowing much about it. We all had a great time! My only regret is not having more time there - 4 hours is just not enough time.

Thank you so much to International Friends for the wonderful experience at the Harry Potter Studios. My friends and I had a great time, the tour guide was extremely understanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and met all of our expectations. I highly recommend booking with International Friends for Harry Potter :)

The guide was absolutely fabulous. All extremely well organised and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend

This is an outstanding place to visit whether you are a Harry Potter fan or not. Outstanding place with movie sets, props, and everything imaginable. Totally enjoyable from start to finish. More than you can imagine and it has to be experienced to be believed. Well worth a whole day! We were picked up at our hotel and transported to the site. It is truly fun and a great adventure. There are a lot of people but the entrance is staggered so it does not seem overly crowded and there is unlimited space to move around. Exhibits are inside and outside and it is very well run. A must see attraction!

The driver was kind and easy to contact, he picked us up on time, the car was comfortable, the trip was safe and smooth, and we were also helped to get the entrance tickets. It was worth it and very recommended tour, thankyou!👍🏻

Hotel pickup was great. Fun exhibit. It gets bottlenecked at times and left out some key elements like the music. 4 hours was more than enough time to see everything.

Our driver, Mark, was absolutely fantastic! Great driver, awesome conversation, and very helpful during our Harry Potter experience. Highly recommend him for any tour.

Wonderful tour Knowing we were with an excellent driver to get there and for our return to the hotel

We were very happy with this tour! Hotel pickup was slightly late due to traffic but was able to get the tour operator on the phone who explained the situation. After our hotel we made one more hotel stop. The ride to and from WB studio was comfortable in a Mercedes minibus and our driver was accommodating. Would definitely recommend this method of getting tix/transportation if you can’t buy directly from WB. Loved the hotel pickup option as it took the stress out of having to be at a central location at a certain time.

Driver was nice enough and it does say that they drop you off at a different place than the hotel but it was rather inconvenient. It would have been a 20 minute cab ride back to the hotel. We ended up getting an uber from harry potter back to our hotel instead.

very beautiful museum. 4 hours spent in the Harry Potter world, but you don't see the time passing the kids loved it

It was very easy and pleasant. They came to pick us up at the hotel at 8:30 and returned at 15:15. At all times they contacted us to verify the hotel address and the service was a 10. We went with another family in the car and it was very comfortable. Totally recommended.

Planning and execution absolute Disaster: Pick-up significantly earlier than booked and not directly at the hotel, vehicle poorly air-conditioned, other hotels were still visited (was not apparent from the booking), the tickets were not ready at the studio and we had to wait 30 minutes for the tickets (4 hours of time were already running despite the earlier pick-up), the 4 hours in the studios are very tight when it's crowded (we didn't have photos taken at the stations, nor did we eat/take a break and still didn't manage to see everything at a leisurely pace!), then received a WhatsApp from the driver before the 4 hours were up, saying everyone is ready to go: asking if we can come, return trip again poorly air-conditioned, then again not driven all the way to the hotel and turned around in a totally pointless way, so that my daughter had to get out onto the busy street, not recommended and an absolute price/performance disaster Note: the audio guide in the studios was impossible to understand in many places due to the volume (International Friends isn't responsible for that, but it's still worth knowing)

I was here with my husband and our three grown children who are extra sensitive to the impressions that an experience like this has. It was an amazing experience on site, but what made the excursion extra nice was the incredibly nice service with pick-up and drop-off. Professional treatment and safe driving by Rob.

Incroyable Special effect decor everything was perfect Nice souvenir shop I will be back soon with my children Efficient taxi ride

It was a lot of fun. I passed the driver at the meeting and was troubled. The driver texted me and I was able to participate in the tour safely when I exchanged questions via email because I couldn't connect through telephone contact. I wish I had set a marker. Thanks to the driver for being cheerful and working hard. It was a shame because there were no moving dormitory steps, wall portraits, movie participation and outside chess in the studio, but the content was rich and fun. Four hours was not enough.

Le chauffeur était a l heure et a l endroit précis indiqué par le site. J ai contacté le site pour plusieures questions lors de mon séjour j ai eu des réponses très rapidement ! Je suis ravie je recommande vivement viator. Pour ceux qui n ont pas eu d entrées sur le site officiel Warner Bros c est une très bonne alternative ! Très contente merci encore.

Transporte e Comunicação excelente! Chegada no Studio e retirada dos tickets excelente! Valeu conhecer o Studios e alguns Cenários do filme. Esperava mais da atração. Considerando o vlr investido.
