Full description

Take a day trip from London and journey towards Warner Bros. Studio to take "The Making of Harry Potter" tour. Located in former aircraft hangars in Leavesden, the attraction recreates the magic of Harry Potter and all your favorite characters. Then, visit Oxford and explore the Divinity School.

Board the original "Hogwarts Express" train at a recreation of Platform 9¾, and explore the inside of the train carriage featured in the films. Take a selfie with a luggage trolley as it disappears through the station's brick wall.

The studio staff will reveal the behind-the-scenes secrets and unveil the intricate prosthetics and make-up that transformed actors into creatures in blockbuster films. See sets from the original movies, and get a peek inside the college of Hogwarts during the 4-hour studio tour. Journey through attractions such as The Great Hall, Gryffindor Common, Hagrid's Hut, the Weasleys' kitchen, and the Ministry of Magic. Take a tour of the backlot and a special effects tour, see a model of Hogwarts Castle, and much more. Depart the Studios and journey to Oxford to explore the real college buildings, including the medieval Divinity School. Upon arrival in the university city founded in 1167, take a guided tour of the historical center and admire some of the most famous college buildings, cloisters, and quadrangles. Delve down alleyways and into chapels, look inside dining halls and across cobblestone squares under the shadows of the legendary "dreaming spires." Enter the hallowed heartland of academia, including the Bodleian Library, Radcliff Camera, Sheldonian Theatre, and other select colleges.

4 hours was plenty of time to see every thing in Harry Potter but as a fan I could have stayed the whole day 😂. Driver was very nice. Bring snacks, take the pictures, but don’t buy the picture package until the of HP. There are several photo ops so you can decide at the end which ones you want vs. buying at every station. They will give you a card and you can keep adding onto it. Oxford was too quick. Glad we saw it, but I could have stayed the whole day and went into every site! Check days/times and season as it’s not always open to the public. Oh and the bus pick up. Kensington area..we are definitely going back that way tomorrow to explore. So lovely

Pick up was on time and our guide took us through the tour. The guide was professional al and helpful. Everything was explained. The Harry Potter studios are a must for all ages. Seeing the wonderful props and sets just added to the Harry Potter magic. Oxford was just a snap shit but again very interesting.

Great day trip from London. We met our bus and guide at Gloucester Rd Station at 8:00 am and headed for Warner Bros Harry Potter Tour. There are reasonably priced hotels in the area. We stayed at the Montana ($138 - good shower) so that we did not have to travel to get to the meeting point. We were impressed that our guide, Amber began the tour by telling about the places we drove by in London. The WB tour was excellent! Bus trip to Oxford was relaxing and Amber told us about the history and sights as neared Oxford. Following the walking tour, we had free time to go through shops. Blackfriars Books looks small from outside, but is a wonder inside! We climbed the Tower of the University Church of St. Mary overlooking Oxford - beautiful photos of Radcliffe Camera! Great cafe Vaults and Garden right next to the tower. That night we realized we left a bag on the bus! Emailed GetYourGuide and they arranged for us to meet their tour bus 2 days later and WE GOT OUR BAG!! Terrific!
