Come with me Muggles on a self-guided audio tour and explore the Edinburgh that inspired J.K. Rowling’s global phenomenon! We'll explore the secret alleyways of the Old Town, starting at Edinburgh Castle, then we'll wander down to “Diagon Alley” and find the gravestones of Voldemort and some other well-known characters from the Harry Potter series. We'll spot “Hogwarts School of Wizardry” along the way too, and if you like, you can stop in at the famous and not-so-famous cafes where J.K. Rowling wrote before Harry Potter became a best-seller.

Our journey will include:

• A fantastic view of the Edinburgh Castle from the esplanade in front of it

• The Royal Mile, Old Town’s most famous street

• The Writer’s Museum, a literature fan’s heaven

• Victoria Street, one of Scotland's most photographed streets

• The Grassmarket where you’ll hear a story of one very lucky lady from the 1700s.

• Greyfriar’s Graveyard

    I was not sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! We chose this option because we didn't want to be tied down by a scheduled tour. We downloaded the tour beforehand and were able to click play whenever we wanted. The app itself is super cool and I will certainly be looking for tours like this in other destinations. It was also super informative and wasn't overboard on Harry Potter. There was a greater focus on the history of the city and how it informed or influenced the books. We learned so much about the hidden and often dark histories of some of Edinburgh's most iconic landmarks.

  • Seeing the books on Harry Potter come alive

    Since we knew we would becoming in later afternoon to Edinburgh, this tour was great for us to do on our own at our own time. The audio tour gave very good instructions and we enjoyed learning more about places in Edinburgh that influenced JK Rowling's books about Harry Potter. Victoria Street is awesome!
