London Eye entry ticket for the 135-meter observation wheel over the Thames. 30-minute ride in 32 glass pods, with standard or fast-track.
“It was indeed lucky that we booked for the skip the queue fast entry tickets. We had to wait for just 10 minutes. The General tickets queue was for more than an hour. Overall the experience was amazing.”
Day trip from Victoria for Harry Potter fans, with Diagon Alley, Platform 9 3/4, Hogwarts Express, Gringotts, and studio sets.
“Nice not to have to be bothered on how to get there but just hop on a bus and be taken there. Also great to be able to go round the studio in you own pace and the time set aside for that was perfect.”
Magical London Harry Potter guided walk with Hogwarts House sorting, Diagon Alley and Leaky Cauldron stops, plus Thames cruise option.
“We had a fantastic time, and Murray was a friendly, entertaining, animated and knowledgeable guide! We loved seeing the Harry Potter filming locations and inspiration locales. Well worth the price of the tour and gratuity (optional but WELL DESERVED).”

A full day by luxury coach visiting Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath from London, with live guide commentary and key UNESCO stops.
“It’s a long day but well worth it. Patrick our driver and Aaron our guide were very very knowledgeable. The stories and facts that were told made the time between stops fly. Highly recommend.”
Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour from Victoria with transfers, 4 hours inside sets, Diagon Alley, Platform 9 3/4, and return bus.
“Our tour included transportation and an entrance ticket. We (1 adult and 1 8 year old) did the self-guided tour once we arrived. The staff there suggested we skip the audio tour since it wasn’t geared toward children. Transport was comfortable (despite lots of traffic) and the time at the studios was great! 3 hours was plenty for us as we are not huge HP fans so we were able to get on an earlier bus back to city center. Since tickets from the studios were all sold out this was the only way we would have been able to visit and we were not disappointed. Very well done and…”
Tower Bridge entry ticket with access to both towers, 42m glass walkways, glass floor, and Victorian Engine Rooms, plus Thames views.
“Active, interesting and fun, even for a teenager! Highly recommend.”

London Big Bus hop-on hop-off with optional Thames cruise. Flexible routes, onboard Wi-Fi, and 24 or 48-hour passes for a fast city overview.
“Worst experience we had in London!! Do NOT do one of these tours. This company left a family of 5 stranded in the London freezing weather as we waited for 45 minutes for the bus to come pick us up at their required spot (#13) near the London Eye. Noone showed up so we were forced to spend more money for a cab to get us home. I placed a formal request for a refund and it was denied. Unbelievably poor customer service. Do NOT waste your money!!!”
