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.
We are happy to hear about your tour experience with us. Alvaro says hi. Thank you for sharing and welcome to the Harry Poter fans club, our guide gave you everything that he knows.
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!
Our tourguide Monique inspired us to read the books, not only watch the movies. She had amazing knowledge, and kept everyone interested. Funny also
Opatrip.com team is very happy that you had a great time and positive experience! Our guide is sending best regards to you! :) We will be looking forward to seeing you again!
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.
Thank you for the review! We are glad that you enjoyed your tour. Charlie sends wishes.
