FIRST-CLASS | TAILOR-MADE: Hop across the pond and discover a magical world of wizardry on this customizable trip to London. Across 6 days, you’ll dive into the world of Harry Potter by touring the Warner Bros. Studio London, visiting Oxford and Cambridge, and exploring filming locations from the movies found around the English capital.


This 6-day English vacation takes you through London and the nearby cities of Oxford and Cambridge to trace the magical world of Harry Potter. It features first-class accommodations and a mix of shared and private tours.

Your journey takes you to the English capital, London, a city that has long defined culture in the western world. The Original London Sightseeing Tour is a great way to see some of the historical landmarks that you’ve heard about but never seen in person. Ride the double-decker bus around the city and hop off at popular landmarks that pique your interest, such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. The next day, venture into the magical world of Harry Potter with a behind-the-scenes tour of Warner Bros. Studio London. Tour movie sets, see props and costumes and learn about the filmmaking wizardry that made the beloved movies possible. On another day, head to the famous university towns of Oxford and Cambridge to tour famous landmarks such as Christ Church College, King’s College, and the Bridge of Sighs, seeing some Harry Potter filming locations along the way.

Back in London, head to the Tower of London to learn about the bloody history behind this white fortification. See the Crown Jewels and join an iconic Beefeater tour to hear the grisly stories behind this erstwhile castle and prison. Later, visit Madame Tussauds to see wax recreations of some of your favourite historical figures, movie characters, and legendary heroes. Afterwards, skip the line at the London Eye to enjoy amazing 360° views over the city, seeing Buckingham Palace and St. Paul’s from high above. Round out your tour of London with a full-day Harry Potter journey taking you to more than 20 filming locations around the city. Pass outside the bank that served as Gringotts, see the Leaky Cauldron from the first film, and cross the Millennium Bridge, which was destroyed by Death Eaters in The Half-Blood Prince. Round out the tour by seeing the outside of Grimmauld Place (it does exist!), stepping onto Platform 9 ¾ at King’s Cross Station, and ending outside the Ministry of Magic.

At the end of your stay, you’ll head to the airport to connect back home.

Day 4

Tower of London

The Tower of London is an internationally famous monument and one of England's most iconic structures. The massive White Tower is a typical example of Norman military architecture, whose influence was felt throughout the kingdom. It was built on the Thames by William the Conqueror to protect London and assert his power. The Tower of London - an imposing fortress with many layers of history, which has become one of the symbols of royalty - was built around the White Tower. Despite the Tower of London's grim reputation as a place of torture and death, within these walls you will also discover the history of a royal palace, an armory and a powerful fortress. Don't miss Royal Beasts and learn about the wild and wondrous animals that have inhabited the Tower, making it the first London Zoo. Discover the priceless Crown Jewels, join an iconic Beefeater on a tour and hear their bloody tales, stand where famous heads have rolled, learn the legend of the Tower's ravens, storm the battlements and get to grips with swords and armor and much more!

Duration1 Hour

The London Eye - Fast Track Entry

At 135 meters (approximately 443 feet), the London Eye is the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel. It was conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects and was launched in 2000, and has since won over 85 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement. The observation wheel turns slow enough for people to embark while it is moving, and a complete turn takes about thirty minutes. Thanks to the construction of the glass capsules on the outer side of the rim, you will have a great 360-degree view of London. Many famous landmarks are clearly visible, including Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. On a clear day, you can see as far as 40 kilometers (approximately 25 miles). Make sure to reserve a specific time in advance as all entries now require a fixed-time reservation. A helpful hint? It's less crowded at night and the views on a clear night are even more spectacular.

Duration30 Minutes

Harry Potter's London

Follow Harry's complete broomstick flight (film five) along the River Thames and see Grimmauld Place (yes it does exist, if you know where to look. No moving houses though!). See where Harry disappears at Kings Cross Station, then it's off to get a picture under the sign 9 3/4. See where Harry and Ron steal the flying car, and later take a photo inside the train station used for exiting to the Ministry of Magic, then walk the footsteps of Harry and Mr. Weasley to the Ministry of Magic. See where Ron spies on the ministry.

Alongside your dedicated Harry guide, you'll be able to ask many questions regarding the films, and there is even a small quiz to keep you on your toes. As if this was not enough, we have added some secret places, items and surprises that you will love.
