Beware

Anamaria_P, Jun 2025

Beware! They will not book your Harry Potter tour with your whiskey tour. They will decide later what time they choose to book you on a whiskey tour and when you arrive to your walking tour they simply wash the their hands and ask the innocent tour guide to notify you, you will not be whiskey tasting as expected. If you cannot make the time they choose for you they will not refund your money and this tour is not worth the price! The tour guide was wonderful and apologetic so this does not reflect him at all however be warned with this company

Good times!

Awesome walking tour! You get to learn a lot about the writing of the Harry Potter books and all the JK Rowling stories that makes it that much more interesting! I highly recommend!

Magically Marvolus

Tessa was amazing and very knowledgeable as was the guy leading the whiskey portion of the tour. It was a lot of fun.

Belle experience

En cette journée pluvieuse, merci au guide pour l'énergie déployée. L'expérience whisky fut très appréciée; belle découverte de nouveaux goûts. Notre appréciation de la complexité du whisky s'est définitivement agrandie. Merci
