Went to locations where some of the films were filmed and inspired. Learned a lot about the author of the books.
Disappointing. Not about Harry Potter locations at all. Guide seemed to be trying to fill time. We bailed after 30 mins.
Fen is knowledgeable and engaging. He showed us a lot of interesting places that inspired JKR. Thank you.
Excellent memorable experience for Harry Potter fan of any age! You get to know so many new things about the inspiration behind the stories in the books, see the incredible views of Edinburgh, and learn about less known facts about the author JK Rowlings and her books. Our guide Finley, was an incredible guide, energetic, engaging and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Frank was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on JK Rollings and Scotland. I enjoyed our walk around with him.
The experience was okay, but honestly, it wasn’t as impressive as I expected. There were some interesting Harry Potter-related locations and information, but overall I felt it could have been better organised and more engaging. It might be more enjoyable for serious Harry Potter fans, but for me it was just an average experience.
Our guide was very knowledgeable & made the tour a house cup competition which was too fun. Sites & guide info made even my hubby agree how JK was influenced or inspired. Tour is a MUST DO for anyone who wants some HP background.
I wish I could have gone on the tour, I’m sure it would have been great but my ship couldn’t enter to port. While I was sad to miss this city and tour as a Potterhead, but I am reviewing this tour regardless to provide feedback on pre tour communication. I received no pre tour communication and when I let them know that I would not make the trip, they didn’t communicate at all. I understand that no refund within 24 hours is policy but I would have liked a “I’m sorry you couldn’t make it but if you’re ever back in Edinburgh, I invite you back on this tour or any other tour I host.” Rather, I heard nothing. A true sign of customer service on this providers part.
Incredible experience! Some tours repeat a lot of info/history, but this one was different. Monique did an awesome job storytelling and keeping the group engaged. Highly recommend!!
What a fun walking tour filled with fun Harry Potter trivia and local Edinburgh gems! Mernique was enthusiastic and super knowledgeable.
