Overall a superb show! Beautiful ambiance and arrangements. From pickup till drop everything was good. And Snowfall made it even more breathtaking. 100% value for money i guess.

Couldn’t find boat when arrived, got sent left right and centre, on and off different boats for the best part of half hour totally ruined the beginning of the trip! Once we finally made it on the boat and calmed down then it was an enjoyable night.

If you can avoid you should because the experience is not a good one. It says unlimited alcohol drinks but when you order beer they will charge you 5 euros!!! When you question them what alcohol drinks are free they will tell you the local beers are free but on the drink menu local beer is 4 euros and we order EFES beer they charge 5 euros, it’s not the price that matters it their dishonest that matters! Food is pretty mediocre…

The cruise was great, he thought that the dinner was very good, the attention of the waiters is very good, always attentive in case I needed something, the dances were with professional people, very well synchronized, the best was the end, they played music and many encouraged to dance on the dance floor, it was beautiful to live something like this again! I also want to emphasize that it is a family environment as well.

Even though the filming locations went through the heavy London traffic, there wasn't a single minute that was boring. The incredibly spontaneous, lively and funny nature of our tour guide Lotti contributed to this, which could report from a rich treasure of anecdotes, curiosities and insider knowledge from the Harry Potter films. And as with many comparable tours, this was not profane and boring, but really interesting! For example, next to the Millenium Bridge (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) was the London School of Westminster, on which actor Daniel Radcliffe had gone to school. Lotti also knew a lot about the shooting and the casting (in which she had participated for the role of Luna Lovegood herself and had been in the last 10 competitions). Overall, a great trip despite the rainy weather!

VERY SURPRISED! My husband and I took this boat trip on the 8th of November. Lovely sunshine and warm. We were picked up at the hotel in the old town and got extremely surprised when we went onboard the boat - quite big, felt luxurious and very clean. We sat outside on large white faux leather sofas and they gave us welcome drinks and bits to snack on - all very good. We were lucky, only about 25 people on the whole big boat so we got first class service! On the way up to the Black Sea they served a fantastic lunch. The guide was very informativ and the boat stopped off at a small village on the way back, and more things to eat and drink! Lovely luxury cruising! Even though it said in the brochure that the return transfer to the hotel is not included - they actually brought us back - no charge!

Got to Oxford first. The time spent in Oxford felt short, but then again I guess there’s never enough time to see everything. Our tour guide was exceptional. He gave us about an hour of guided tour and then we were free to roam for about 2 or 3 hours. Since this is a Harry Potter tour, I recommend paying the ticket price for Christ Church, while a bit on the expensive side, you will see the stairs leading into Hogwarts and the great hall. I also recommend paying the £2 to see The Divinity School. And for a magnificent view of Oxford I would recommend paying to see the top view of Oxford at the university Church of St. Mary. The WB studio is of course the main attraction in this tour and definitely worth the cost. It is something you have to see in person.

This would be a great cruise if you are a smoker, which I am not.. There is no designated smoking area and lots of people were smoking all over the ship, upwind from other passengers. In fact, I felt like I had smoke in my face the whole time, no matter where I moved. Even the captain and crew smoked unabatedly upwind from guests. This pretty much ruined the beauty of the experience. Otherwise the information given, and music played was fine. The food seemed okay, but I lost my appetite from all the smoking. Seriously, if you are going to allow smoking, have a designated area at the back of the boat.

A tour around the corners of Harry Potter gave much to both book and movie connoisseurs and less knowledgeable. The route traveled to key locations in London, and the tour told stories and stories about London history. Along the route, there were places where you could hardly go on your own. It was nice that during the tour we actually took to the streets of Lonyoo. Very good and interesting experience. As a development idea, the guide could have some flag on the mast or something else that would guide the group to the places they visited.
