3.00Although the tour provided some information I did not know about JK Rowling, we felt there was more talking about JKRowling than seeing sights related to the Harry Potter stories.

5.00Well worth the money. Informative, fun. A very good couple of hours spent. Enjoyed hearing about the history behind it, even though I am from Edinburgh myself.

5.00We met our guide on the sidewalk at the meeting point. Benjamin made the tour a lot of fun while sharing a lot of Potter/Rowling facts. You will be walking for 2 hours with the opportunity for a bathroom break at the halfway point. I strongly recommend this tour for Harry Potter fans.
