Set off on a magical tour of Edinburgh with our fun Potter-head guide, and see the places that inspired JK Rowling to create her wizarding universe. Then, enter the incredible Edinburgh Castle!

Starting at Tron Kirk on The Royal Mile, we first head to historic Waverley Station. Then head to Edinburgh University Old College - a famous old campus which provided lots of inspiration for JK Rowling’s creations.

We continue through the atmospheric Old Town, stopping at Greyfriars Kirkyard which inspired Tom Riddle's Grave and passing by the Elephant Café where JK Rowling sat for many hours dreaming up the world of Harry Potter!

Get amazing views of Edinburgh Castle on our way to Victoria Street - said to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley - and we finish near Edinburgh City Chambers where you’ll learn about JK Rowling’s impact on the city.

After the tour, you'll be given your tickets to explore the beautiful Edinburgh Castle!

    Really great experience with a very knowledgeable guide! Even though the castle was sold out the day we toured, they rectified the issue immediately and it didn’t ruin the experience!

    If you like Harry Potter then this a great tour! Loads of info and also some on Marvel and Game of Thrones as well as Outlander. If you are really lucky you will get Kiersty as your guide. She is a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining.
