We continue through the atmospheric old streets of the Old Town, stopping at Greyfriars Kirkyard which inspired Tom Riddle’s Grave and a shop that inspired Diagon Alley on Victoria Street.

5.00We really enjoyed the tour. We had a short time in Edinburgh and it was a good walking tour to see the city and learn all about Harry Potter books and writing process. Jackson was very informative and fun and answered our little Harry Potter fan questions and interacted with him throughout the tour. Thanks Jackson!
Fun way to spend 2 hours.
