Harry Potter's Edinburgh: een zelfgeleide audiotour
Beschrijving
Ga met me Dreuzels mee op een zelfgeleide audiotour en verken Edinburgh dat J.K. Rowlings wereldwijde fenomeen! We zullen de geheime steegjes van de oude stad verkennen, beginnend bij Edinburgh Castle, dan zullen we afdalen naar "Diagon Alley" en de grafstenen van Voldemort en enkele andere bekende personages uit de Harry Potter-serie vinden. We zullen onderweg ook "Hogwarts School of Wizardry" zien, en als je wilt, kun je stoppen bij de beroemde en niet zo beroemde cafés waar J.K. Rowling schreef voordat Harry Potter een bestseller werd. Onze reis omvat: • Een fantastisch uitzicht op Edinburgh Castle vanaf de esplanade ervoor • De Royal Mile, de beroemdste straat van de oude stad • The Writer’s Museum, een paradijs voor literatuurliefhebbers • Victoria Street, een van de meest gefotografeerde straten van Schotland • De Grassmarket waar je een verhaal hoort van een zeer gelukkige dame uit de 18e eeuw. • Graveyard van Greyfriar

We enjoyed seeing sights related to Harry Potter while learning some local history. A couple of times our audio got slightly out of sync but at least one of our group was in the right place and we were able to figure it out.
It was very basic and hardly spoke about Harry Potter more about the history of Edinburgh which wouldn’t be to bad as it was interesting but not what is advertised also said it would take 40- an hour but when put in the code for the audio guide it was almost 2 hours
Hi there, Thank you for the detailed feedback, and I'm glad you found the Edinburgh history interesting even if it wasn't quite what you expected. I do want to mention: this tour actually covers a good amount of Harry Potter content alongside the city's history, so I'm sorry that didn't come through clearly for you during your walk. If it felt light on Harry Potter specifically, that's still useful for us to know, and I'll pass your feedback on to the team who look after this tour's content. I also want to flag the timing gap you mentioned — advertised at 40 minutes to an hour, but showing closer to 2 hours once you started the audio guide. That's a bigger difference than it should be, so I'll make sure the listed duration is checked against what the app actually tells listeners. Thanks again for taking the time to share this — it helps us keep the tour accurate for future visitors. Best, Alicia
A good start to see the city for first timers, but we were not really able to use the audio guide. Flexible timing.
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. When you were having technical difficulties, did you contact VoiceMap support via email or telephone? We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong. Again, I'm sorry about the poor experience you had.
Harry Potter fans will find this enjoyable. The walking audio tour was very informative and gave great visual guidance while walking. We highly recommend it to the Harry Potter fans!!
Brilliant really easy to use, really informative myself and son loved it. Would definitely do this sort of thing again.
It was easy and worked very well we took everything in out own tempo and could pause the tour and look ind the stores
We were not able to do this activity exclusively in English contrary to what is written during the purchase (English and French)... not being bilingual, we never started the activity, 25€ thrown out the window
Hi Estelle V, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. Unfortunately, this tour is available in English and German but not French. Apologies for the miscommunication. Please reach out to us on support@voicemap.me and we will process a refund if you email us your details. Regards, Helene
I was not sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! We chose this option because we didn't want to be tied down by a scheduled tour. We downloaded the tour beforehand and were able to click play whenever we wanted. The app itself is super cool and I will certainly be looking for tours like this in other destinations. It was also super informative and wasn't overboard on Harry Potter. There was a greater focus on the history of the city and how it informed or influenced the books. We learned so much about the hidden and often dark histories of some of Edinburgh's most iconic landmarks.
Since we knew we would becoming in later afternoon to Edinburgh, this tour was great for us to do on our own at our own time. The audio tour gave very good instructions and we enjoyed learning more about places in Edinburgh that influenced JK Rowling's books about Harry Potter. Victoria Street is awesome!
It was an overall excellent tour, the cemetery was the best part aswell as Diagonal Alley with attached shops.
