First night in Edinburgh we attended this experience, and it was perfect! We went on a lovely walking tour of the city and heard stories about both Harry Potter and the city. Rob is a great storyteller! The journey up to Arthur's Seat felt in the legs, but Rob made sure we found a pace that suited us all and we stopped often and got to listen to stories. And even though it may feel a bit heavy going up the mountain, it's worth it!! Up there we got a fantastic view and sunset over the whole city! This was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Scotland! Thanks Rob!

Rob was absolutely fantastic and so knowledgeable! He was patient with other people on the tour that got lost and just very down to earth. He's got some fantastic dad jokes as well and a tour with Rob is such a lovely way to tour the city and learn some facts you wouldn't hear otherwise. Loved learning the Harry Potter facts he had and seeing this beautiful city. So glad I did the morning tour before the city became incredibly busy. I went during Fringe festival so later in the day we just wouldn't have been able to see as much with the crowds. He was also so kind to offer to take photos for us, as a couple of us were solo travelers. Hope to be back for another tour next year with Rob!

Rob took us around the city of Edinburgh and showed us spots that inspired J.K. when writing HP And also some gruesome history facts/locations as well. But, he also included some fun facts/locations along the trip also! Rob is an extremely laid back guy and fun to be around. Definitely an enjoyable tour!
