a month agoWe purchased online tickets for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, including transportation provided by Golden Tours. The day before our visit, I came across all the negative reviews and became quite concerned. However, to my surprise, everything went better than expected. We arrived at the meeting point at 14:00 on a Wednesday. There, we were given wristbands for the bus and our studio entry tickets in an envelope. At 14:30, a Golden Tours staff member escorted us to the bus. Although our scheduled studio entry time was 16:00, we arrived at 15:30 and were allowed to enter early, giving us an extra 30 minutes to explore. The return journey was punctual, and overall, I was very pleased with how well everything was organized. Our tour was perfect—thank you! And yes - the movie playing on the bus had terrible sound and video quality, but honestly, what did you expect? Better to prepare the movie and watch on your phone, or just enjoy it at home.

3 months agoStonehenge, Windsor, Bath Tour - Customer Service was excellent! The check-in was easy, the bus driver Ashley and the tour guide Bruce were friendly and wonderful, and the added benefit was that we got to visit all these places in a half day and no one in our party had to be stressed out to drive to any of those places. Open Top London by Night Tour - Customer Service was excellent! We checked in slightly early and our lovely guide gave quick directions for a restroom break before the Tour. Our driver Raj and Tour guide Emma made a great team and were just amazing. Glad we took the earlier tour as I imagine we would not have survived the colder temperatures with less sun.

2 weeks agoAmazing experience with the company. Our pickup was scheduled at 4 pm. The employees started checking all the visitors, at 4:20 we were heading to the bus stop. The trip to the studio took about one hour. Although our tickets were for 6 pm, we were able to enter earlier and enjoyed fully this studio!

a week agoWe used the tour to go to the Harry Potter studios. The departure time was delayed by about 30 minutes. It seemed unprofessional to me (small branch, you wait outside on the street). It is a simple trip where you don't have to deal with anything, but you pay almost the same amount of money for the trip as for a ticket to the studios.

2 months agoMy parents and I did the Harry Potter studio tour. We were told to arrive by 2:00pm. We checked in at 1:55pm and did not receive any proactive update until 2:50 when we were hurriedly told the bus was ready. No explanation was given for the delay. The bus had uncomfortable seats and a movie that didn’t work. On the return trip the bus also left 15 minutes late. It’s incredibly disrespectful of your customers to waste their time like this. Trust that your customers can be responsible and will show up at the time you tell them. If some people can’t do that don’t take that out on everyone else by lying about the time you will leave. Without the bus, the train is about the same amount of time (there is a free shuttle from the train to the studio). My family enjoyed the tour and I will tell friends who ask about it to go and to take the train.
