TV and Film Studio Tours

Yes! Apart from at certain moments (and your guide will tell you in advance when photography is not allowed), you're free to take those selfie shots of you in front of those well-known landmarks and spots that feature in your favourite television show or film.

Exterior scenes are often shot on location in actual places - which is what you'll be seeing on your location tours. The interior shots, however, are usually specifically built sets within studios, so it's the exterior that is of most interest to fans. In some cases (such as Highclere House which plays the role of Downton Abbey) you will be going inside, as it's an amazing country house to visit in its own right.

Any tours that involve visiting an area, place, or building that normally has an entry fee is included in the cost of your studio or locations tour. It covers standard entry only, so if there are things like extra temporary exhibitions on offer that you'd like to see, these will be extra and payable locally by you.

This depends on the tour. Please have a look at the details of each tour or visit, where all the info on how long the tour lasts and how much walking is involved is included. Tours are at a leisurely pace, so even if you are walking, there are plenty of stops and pauses.

Yes we do. We offer a full range of coach tours to visit some of the famous film and TV locations in the UK, all setting off from London. There are usually several pick-ups around the capital and, of course, you'll be dropped back off again at the end of your day.

Filming locations are often adapted and dressed to represent a different period in history or create a fictitious place for a scene, so it might not be immediately recognisable, but that's why your expert guide is there. They even have screenshots of the key scenes so you can see exactly where filming took place.

Yes we do. We sell various entry tickets and tour packages to visit the Warner Bros studios in Hertfordshire, where many of the sets that feature in the Harry Potter film franchise are. You can make your own way there, book a coach tour that includes studio tour entry and even include an afternoon tea as a tasty extra!

Yes they are. It's a fascinating place with an incredible back lot of sets and props that have been used in the hugely successful Harry Potter films. And yes, they were filmed here in the UK! Clearly a must-do for any HP fan of any age.

The tours to further afield locations outside London that include coach travel are all full days out. The London-based walking tours are generally shorter, meaning you can book a film or TV locations tour in London as part of a fun-filled day out in the capital and still have time for shopping, museum visiting or a nice meal out.

In general yes. Please check each individual tour page for the age requirements. In general under 16s are allowed, but they will need to be accompanied by a paying adult.

As many of these tours involve coach travel, using the underground and a fair amount of walking (often on cobbled streets on uneven terrain), they are not suitable for those requiring wheelchair access. The Warner Studios tour is mostly wheelchair accessible. Please get in touch with us for more info.

No. This is a working studio where films and TV shows are made. The sets are the actual sets from the movies and, although there are no rides involved, they are very theatrical and interactive.

The Warner Studios Tours for Harry Potter aside, the walking and coach tours are not official tours, but they are hosted and guided by huge fans of the show. The Dr Who tours hosts are self-confessed Time Lord geeks and many hosts are actors too.

Sorry, pets are not allowed on tours. Exceptions are made for assistance dogs, but please check directly with the tour organiser at the time of booking.

Yes. Your guide will welcome you at the pre-arranged meeting point and will then accompany you throughout your tour, be it on foot, by public transport or on the specially chartered coach. On the Harry Potter tour you work your way around the studios, with guides stationed along the trail to provide any help or assistance.

We do have packages that include lunch or a tasty afternoon tea. When lunch isn't included you can either bring a picnic, or as most places you visit have a cafe and or restaurant on site or nearby, you can buy food and drinks there.

Not at all! Many of the places you visit are fascinating and lovely in their own right, as well as being a filming location. The guides are all very entertaining, so everyone will enjoy the banter, the anecdotes and the backstage snippets.

If it's your fave TV show or film it's worth travelling to see where the magic was made isn't it? The sets and locations might not be right near you, but why not make a weekend of it and combine your locations tour with some sightseeing, shopping and fun? Many of the tours set off from and return to central London. Here are the sort of locations where our TV and film tours take place:

• London
• Bristol
• Liverpool
• Hertfordshire
• Oxford & Oxfordshire
