I took the self-guided Harry Potter tour of Edinburgh. The price was very reasonable. However, I think there could have been more details in it. At one point, we were asked to find several different headstones in the cemetery. Unfortunately, at the end of that part, we were not told where to find them. I couldn’t find them. Took me forever to find the Tom Riddle headstone. The speaker assumed that it was found and never gave any details. Directions to the next stops were lacking during the tour. Could have had directions as where to go next rather than assume we knew where to go. I think more could have been said about each stop to make it more interesting.
Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Harry Potter Self-Guided Tour. We’re sorry to hear you had trouble with directions and some details along the way. We’ll be passing your comments to the tour creator and will work on adding clearer guidance and more content to improve the experience. We really appreciate your input and hope you’ll give us another try in the future.
We found it a very good experience and a great tour. Above all, we liked the opportunities to participate. In addition, it is associated with a small city tour, as you are guided to various places in the city center. The navigation and sound quality were very good. I can highly recommend it.
Danke, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns eine so ausführliche Bewertung zu hinterlassen! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour gefallen hat – besonders die interaktiven Elemente und die kleine Stadtführung durch die Innenstadt. Schön zu hören, dass auch Navigation und Tonqualität überzeugt haben. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei einer anderen Tour an einem neuen Ort wieder begrüßen zu dürfen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ihr Tourific-Team
It was great to immerse myself in the world of Harry Potter, discovering some of the beauties of Edinburgh and things I didn't know about J. K. Rowling.
Grazie per aver dedicato del tempo a lasciarci una recensione! La apprezziamo molto e siamo lieti che il tour le sia piaciuto. Speriamo di poterla accompagnare di nuovo in un'altra città in futuro. Cordiali saluti, Il team di Tourific
