Tours & Excursions in London

"Great new attraction. If you're a Harry Potter fan you'll love it. As we walked through the entrance, the staff were welcoming and this warm engaging approach continued throughout the experience. Rob S and Jasmine were lovely and explained lots of different things. Loved the behind the scenes photos and reading the information that accompanied them. The butter beer bar is nice, we sat in a booth and were eager to try the Jaffa cake and the witches hat cake along with the butter beer. Benita, behind the bar was lovely and explained how to pour the butter beer to get the lovely frothy top. We were taking photos and Emily came over and asked my husband and I if we'd like a photo together, which was lovely. Our experience finished in the gift shop, where we purchased a few souvenirs. Again the staff couldn't have been more helpful."

Even though the filming locations went through the heavy London traffic, there wasn't a single minute that was boring. The incredibly spontaneous, lively and funny nature of our tour guide Lotti contributed to this, which could report from a rich treasure of anecdotes, curiosities and insider knowledge from the Harry Potter films. And as with many comparable tours, this was not profane and boring, but really interesting! For example, next to the Millenium Bridge (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) was the London School of Westminster, on which actor Daniel Radcliffe had gone to school. Lotti also knew a lot about the shooting and the casting (in which she had participated for the role of Luna Lovegood herself and had been in the last 10 competitions). Overall, a great trip despite the rainy weather!

It was interesting to see the city at night and hear a very different perspective of some famous landmarks.

The tour started a bit delayed at we were waiting for others to arrive but once it got going it was brilliant. Louis made us feel welcome by starting with a Harry Potter quiz and as we walked he pointed out some local London sites. The speed was good and you stop regularly so you can’t get lost. The tour covers a wide variety of locations from filming locations to destinations that inspired JK Rowling. At various points you will be reminded of the films using clips shown on a. iPad. This makes the tour very accessible, even if you haven’t watched or read Harry Potter recently. When crossing Millennium Bridge look out for the chewing gum art! I also particularly enjoyed the whomping willow in the beautiful garden surrounded by Tulips! Couldn’t have asked for a friendlier, more knowledgeable guide.

Great experience. Very organised. Clean boats with plenty of choice for seating upstairs and covered downstairs. Staff gave a live commentary which was informative and entertaining. All staff encountered were friendly and polite. Cafe on board and toilets. Children enjoyed it so a good value way to travel and spend the day sightseeing.

Was a lot of fun. We had the whole boat to ourselves. Lots of laughs. Met friends there and our teenagers loved it much more than some of the more historic sites. They wanted to do it again.

You can have taken part in the London Eye, but as expected it is not spectacular. I went because of my son. You can probably see just as much from the Skygarden or similar. I had no real idea about the dungeon, now I know what to expect. A guided tour into the dark times of London with scary moments. It's definitely well presented and the actors do a great job. But you really need a good knowledge of English. My English is actually very good but I didn't understand everything, also depending on who was speaking. If you don't understand anything, you can actually save it and go to a musical or something.

Eva was a great guide and kept everyone entertained even when the bus ran a little late. Fun and entertaining!!

A really great tour for three generations of the family. The boat was clean, comfortable with excellent viewing areas. The bar served a range of drinks. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The tour was informative and interesting. See a different view of the iconic buildings. Would work well even in poor weather.

Our guide was excellent, funny was able to answer all of the questions. We had enough time to see each of our stops and we saw everything we wanted to in one day which gave us time to do the other things on our list.

Our 'guide' who's not a guide was excellent. Spoke very clearly, pointed out the sights with some nice, sometimes funny, little anecdotes. It's a great way to get yourself down the river for a little more sight seeing once you get there.

Big Bus Tours was amazing. Hop on Hop Off bus was great. We got to see all the sights we wanted to see! London Eye and Cruise on the Thames was one of the stops. They gave out ear buds as you got on the bus so that you could listen to the high points of each stop! Would highly recommend this tour!

Big Bus was a brilliant way to see London. We were able to sit back and enjoy all the iconic sights and monuments without worrying about navigating the city. From Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the London Eye, it covered all the must-see spots. The commentary was informative and entertaining, and it gave us a great overview of London in a short amount of time. Perfect for getting your bearings and soaking up the city.

Easy and straightforward to book, highly recommend

Great fun speeding along the Thames. Felt safe but was still adrenalin filled. Interesting facts about buildings along the way. Well worth the cost. My 11 year olx grand son thought it the best.

Loved it

It’s a good way to see parts of London. The boat is very clean. Several points to get on it . Good ambience.

Me and my family went on this tour 2 adults and 2 children (9+15). I’m so glad we had booked this tour it was really exceptional, we all enjoyed it very much. The tour man was great he was very good at his job. Sorry forgot his name. The cruise down the river Thames was also amazing the guy on there made us all very welcome and pointed out all the different place down by the river. Amazing. Finally we had the London eye booked on our tour. (Don’t be put off by the queue) the queue was really long but went down in no time. This was an amazing experience. I’d highly recommend this tour it’s great. Thanks again for an amazing experience.

If it's your first time having afternoon tea in London, this activity is a great option because it includes sightseeing along the Thames River. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and commentator was funny.

"I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! At first i was sceptical about it being written as a screen play and actually took me months before I would even read it & I am a HARRY POTTER & BOOK LOVER, but I was VERY HAPPILY SURPRISED. It being written in screen play format did not take away from the book at all & it felt as if the original writer picked up where they left off. REALLY HOPE A MOVIE IS MADE & we can see a FULL ENDING to the Harry Potter series play out on the big screen!!!"

was excellent value for money and easy to use would definitely recommend

Great experience, we had a radiant sun with us and despite the crowd, we had a pleasant time visiting. It is preferable to have good knowledge of English to understand the guide. Thank you again for helping us following our delay :)

Booking is the best option for tickets to any sight or tour. We had to change the number of tickets, one person couldn’t go, and it was so easy to do that without losing our time slot and received a refund (24 hrs cancel option). The London Eye itself was amazing, beautiful views. It’s a bit pricey but a good experience.

Enjoyed every minute and the food and drink were delicious! Commentary was great and injected with humour which was entertaining.
