Join us to discover the city of Edinburgh in a very different way , since JK Rowling , the author of the Harry Potter novels, was inspired by this city to create this entire magical universe of fantastic creatures and wonderful characters. It was in Edinburgh that the famous magician came to life in the early 1990s.
We will talk about the beginnings of the writer in the city, where she lived and where she wrote her novel. On the tour we will take a walk through the streets of Edinburgh, we will enter its alleys full of magic to show all those places that inspired JK Rowling to write that world of magic and fantasy.
We will get to know streets and alleys, shops and cafes, a cement building and a school that are closely related to the most famous magician in the world and the rest of the characters in the saga.

5.00My colleague and I both loved the tour! She was entertaining, interesting and we visited great places. The tour was really exceptional by our tour guide Nadine. She was super attentive, made us laugh, made sure we were always there, was super friendly, gave us great tips about Edinburgh and took time for us after the tour. Even us diehard fans have learned things we didn't know.
An amazing tour about the history and inspiration behind Harry Potter!!
