This walking tour of Edinburgh unfurls the history and origins of the world's most famous Wizard (you know who he is!) Great day out for the family.
You will see several beautiful Potter sights in this wonderful city and several locations that inspired JK Rowling to create the wizarding universe that we know and adore today.
After we gather at Tron Kirk on The Royal Mile, the first stop of the tour is a view of the historical Waverley Train station. Trains being an iconic part of a young wizards journey.
We then head to Edinburgh University Old College, and pop into the Old Town area to see a spooky graveyard & visit a shop down Victoria street which inspired Diagon Alley.
We will also have great views of the famous Edinburgh Castle alongside many sights and buildings that inspired JK Rowling when she was writing each of the books including the famous cafe, The BIRTH PLACE of Harry Potter.
This is a great tour for families & die hard fans of Harry Potter
2 hour walking tour

Benjamin was great! Had a total of 7 people in my group, me being with my partner. Benjamin had a combination of good HP humor/jokes to combine with origin story of said topic and mixing in Scottish elements to it. Pretty good for people wanting to experience IRL for 2 hours compared to several hours of research.

Benjamin was an amazing guide : energetic, invested, telling us great stories about Harry Potter, J.K Rowling and Edinburg, and answering all of our questions.
He runs, he sings, he jokes, he’s the guide you’re dreaming to have !

A very nice experience with a knowledgable tour guide.
The tour was fun and you really get a picture of the town that inspired J. K. Rowling.
Even if you are not a Harry Potter fun, you will enjoy the tour as it also includes historical facts about the city and the witch hunt.
Great experience!

Our inaugural tour in Edinburgh couldn't have been more perfect to kickstart our trip. A group of four, and it turned out to be the ideal size for comfort and interaction. Kirsty, our guide, deserves the biggest shout-out for making it an absolute blast. Not only did she unveil spots and details that shaped the books, but she infused the tour with incredibly entertaining facts. Even as a self-proclaimed book and film nerd, I found myself learning in the most lighthearted and amusing way. Huge thanks to Kirsty for turning the tour into an unforgettable experience!

The tour started badly, our train from London was late to Edinburgh and we were running late for our walk. It was around 20 minutes or so after the start time so we'd forlornly given up but then our guide, Tessa, didn't give up on us and she managed to locate us and we got to go on the walk after all! Tessa is a true Potter fan and if I ever go to a Potter pub quiz I'd want Tessa on my team! My kids were tired from our travel but Tessa was patient and kind with humour and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learnt some Potter lore we never knew.
