5.00Very good tour with a knowledgeable and kind guide. As massive Potter fans, it was an honor to experience the background and places that inspired this incredible story. Just some feedback I wanted to proved. Like Mrs. Rowling or not, I think we can agree that she created a world which brought millions of people together to share and fall in love with a common story. Let’s be sure to make the background and inspiration of this story the sole focus without there being any hint of ill will towards her. Oftentimes passive aggressive statements can come through which serve as a distraction as to why we are there to begin with. She created an incredible world and I thank and love her deeply for it. Anything else outside of that I don’t care about. Any mention of whether one disagrees with her or not is not needed. I think her creation speaks for itself and people come from all over the world to experience it. My feedback is to leave any hint of distaste for her out of this tour when providing information. With that said, I can’t emphasize enough how much we appreciated this tour, the background, knowledge, and kindness of our guide.
Explore Rowling's Edinborough, excellent tour!
