It was a wonderful experience. I love that we got to see a lot of the inspiration for the Harry Potter books. Our guide was perfect! Very funny and enthusiastic. The drinks at the end were great and nice way to end the tour. Highly recommend.

Such a fun tour! Our guide Jackson was very impressive - great mix of Harry Potter stories, trivia, and Edinburgh lore while walking through the gorgeous backdrop of the city center. Strongly recommend!

I am not a huge Harry Potter fan, but I did find this tour fantastic and full of information!!! Our guide Jackson did an awesome job!!

What a perfect time spent in Edinburgh. Our tour guide, Jackson was absolutely delightful (for a Slytherin…lol) He gave us a wonderful tour that not only included Harry Potter, and JK Rowling trivia, but a great tour of Edinburgh too. We highly recommend booking with Jackson. He will not disappoint.

Jackson, our tour guide was amazing. Jackson was so energetic and was oozing so many Harry Potter facts. My 29 year old son was more the Harry Potter fan during the tour, but I now feel it necessary to go home and study the ways of Slytherin. Great tour and I highly recommend it.

We had a great time with our guide Jackson! We went to many interesting locations. Jackson had great stories for each one. The views of the city at night were truely magical! We would highly recommend.

This tour of the city is a great way to explore areas that aren’t covered by other tours. The Harry Potter information was extensive, and Jackson, the tour guide, was a fun and knowledgeable person.

Props to Jackson for guiding a large group through the crowded, beautiful streets of Edinburgh! He was very energetic, took care to keep our group together, and had lots of fun facts and stories about Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling to entertain novice and expert Harry Potter fans alike. Our tour group was quite large and included adults and kids, but the drinks at the end was a smaller group and a fun way to relax at the end of walking those Edinburgh hills.
