New for 2008
HP Fan Trips™ is constantly looking for ways to tweak, improve upon and add to our uniquely high quality Harry Potter fan tours. That's why, in addition to our summer tours, we have added
the HP6 - London Movie Premiere tour in the fall. This must be why many travelers choose to join us year after year.
Some new elements for 2008 include:
- Filming locations from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- VIP guests including:
- Jamie Lawrence, senior staff member of MuggleNet, co-author of the New York Times Bestseller "MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen In Book 7?" and regular co-host of MuggleCast
- Streamlined schedules to allow an optimal balance:
- sightseeing
- travel time
- guided portions
- meals
- free time
- and most importantly, FUN!
- Making the best of worsening exchange rates.
The U.S. dollar has significantly lost its buying power over the past two years compared to the British Pound. HP Fan Trips™ has worked tirelessly to ensure that your trip to the UK remains an excellent value despite this challenge. We continually strive to maintain a high level of service, as well as the exciting and exclusive activities, private parties and hotels people have come to expect from us at a competitive price. While we have had to increase trip rates, no where else can you find trips to Britain of such high quality at such a low price. Research indicates that tours by other companies with similar inclusions are priced 30% to 50% higher than HP Fan Trips™ rates. We are proud to be able to bring Harry Potter fans unparalleled experiences at affordable rates.
These tried-and-true elements continue the HP Fan Trips™ tradition of excellence:
- Group Size - We are capping each group at 42 people. This will allow groups to move at a better, more fluid pace and enjoy an intimate experience. Minimum group size is 30 people.
- Coaches and Guides - Each group will be assigned its own guide and coach (transportation). Therefore, even though there will be multiple groups in the same city throughout the tours, each group will depart independently and stay with the same guide the entire time.
- Large Venues - While groups will be kept separate throughout their itineraries, exceptions include the train, the day at Alnwick Castle and the banquet at Edinburgh Castle. This way, all the participants can get together and mingle in a larger, more diverse atmosphere.
- Airport Transfers - We will coordinate a transfer time period for each group, dependent upon the flight schedules of each traveler. If your flight schedule does not fall within the allotted timeframes as noted on your itinerary, you will be responsible for your own transfers to/from the airport.
- Edinburgh Castle is exclusively ours for the final gala banquet and party!
- Visit a cave which might remind more than a few fans of scenes in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- Exclusive reservation of the entire hotel used by cast and crew in Glencoe (check Scotland trip itineraries for inclusion)
- Random drawing to see who gets to stay in the very rooms used by Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton
- Limited edition Alivan's 100% handmade wooden magic wands (check itineraries for inclusion)
