Fun tour - Fun tour. Lots of interesting information about JK Rowling and Harry Potter series. The kids (6&9) enjoyed it a lot. We walked about 3km at a very manageable pace.

Highly recommend - Great walking tour with lots of information about Harry Potter! Our tour guide was awesome too! We got to see so many cool places where scenes of the film were inspired by! Victoria street which is inspiration for Diagon Alley was so fun!

Brilliant! - Excellent way to view Edinburgh with kids Our family loves HP so we have very high standards and Kristy’s tour was fab! Great historical info as well as authentic HP facts, which kept the whole family engaged. I was nervous about keeping one of the kids (with a very short attention span) entertained but she made it all interesting and personal. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Great tour, great guide! - As keen Harry Potter fans and despite our 60+ years age difference, both my grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. Johnny, our guide, was enthusiastic, interesting, amusing and knowledgeable, not just on Harry Potter facts (and Edinburgh HP myths!) but on other historical events related to tour stops. The pace of the tour was just right and Johnny made sure that all participants felt included. Thank you!

Harry Potter Tour - Johnny was a really good tour guide he was very knowledgeable about Edinburgh and the places about Harry Potter he was also funny and good with the wee ones. All I would say is that you could put an age on the tour because the wee ones were looking to see Harry Potter things so I felt a bit 🙁

Insider information for Potter fans - Punctual reception at the agreed location. Funny guide that had both short episodes on the history of the city, but of course especially for Harry Potter fans. Within the two hours you can see most of the sights within the Royal Mile...was great for us as an introduction to the sightseeing holiday. Danke an Jonny, es war super!

Recommended - Kirsty was very engaging and worked hard to make the tour relevant for all members of the group. We were a family of 4 with an 8 and a 12 year old. We all enjoyed it and it didn’t feel too long, which often these things do!
