Set off on a magical tour of Edinburgh with our fun Potter-head guide, and see the places that inspired JK Rowling to create her wizarding universe. Then, enter the incredible Edinburgh Castle! Starting at Tron Kirk on The Royal Mile, we first head to historic Waverley Station. Then head to Edinburgh University Old College - a famous old campus which provided lots of inspiration for JK Rowling’s creations. We continue through the atmospheric Old Town, stopping at Greyfriars Kirkyard which inspired Tom Riddle's Grave and passing by the Elephant Café where JK Rowling sat for many hours dreaming up the world of Harry Potter! Get amazing views of Edinburgh Castle on our way to Victoria Street - said to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley - and we finish near Edinburgh City Chambers where you’ll learn about JK Rowling’s impact on the city. After the tour, you'll be given your tickets to explore the beautiful Edinburgh Castle!

Overall it was not what was expected. Even though our tour guide Benjamin was a nice person, the tour was poorly done. Half the time we were trying to keep up with him because he was moving too fast from spot to spot, we could barely look at stuff around us. The other time we could barely hear him over the weather and cars, depending on the spots that we were lead too. Overall I would not recommend this tour as we also did not get facts that were not already known to a true Harry Potter Fan.

We had a wonderful time on our tour. Our guide, Nigel, was well versed in the history of each site and had fascinating stories that brought each to life. We took the 5 hour tour and loved ever minute. I’d recommend to any newbie to London who wants an overview of the sites.
