We saw the stunning architecture that inspired Rowling’s magical world. It was fascinating to see and know that the history and stories of Edinburgh have woven their way into the fabric of the Harry Potter universe. We enjoyed this amazing Harry Potter tour.

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.

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.

Our tourguide Monique inspired us to read the books, not only watch the movies. She had amazing knowledge, and kept everyone interested. Funny also

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.
