Fantastic time!
Having this tour with Alvaro was just amazing as he is really passionate about it and provided us with lots of valuable details about the Harry Portter saga and its history with the city. It even made many of us emotional. 10/10.

Watch out, Muggle!
Jenny told us wonderful anecdotes about Harry Potter and Edinburgh for 2 hours. In addition, we were assigned to our houses and there was a quiz that ended up winning the house Hufflepuff. We've never met anyone who knew so much about Harry Potter and his universe.

Thank you for your review! We are very glad that you had such a great experience. Best wishes!

Charlie Harry Potter tour review
Charlie put on a show for the audience and was very passionate and engaging in a Harry Potter style. He was also very knowledgeable of the topic and explained how JK Rowling got her ideas from certain places in Edinburgh and showed us some of the places.
