Our guide, Josh, was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about both Harry Potter and the city’s history. He made the tour really engaging by asking fun questions along the way, which kept everyone involved and added a great interactive element. The stories, locations, and insights were fascinating, and the tour felt well-paced and enjoyable throughout. Overall, it was a brilliant experience and something I’d highly recommend to any Harry Potter fan or anyone wanting to explore Edinburgh in a fun and memorable way.”
