We had a great tour with Leo! A very informative experience with fun interactive trivia as you go. We were pleasantly surprised about the historical, symbolic, and Scotland specific fun facts we were able to learn along the way!

Our guide Robbie was very knowledge and approachable. Learned a lot I didn’t know about Rowlings and Harry Potter.
5Great experience
Our tour guide Robbie was great. The size of the group was perfect. He was very knowledgeable of Harry Potter and JK Rowling.
5We had such a wonderful...
We had such a wonderful time on the Harry Potter walking tour! Robbie was an excellent guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable about Harry Potter and the history behind the locations we visited. He made the entire tour engaging, entertaining, and really brought everything to life. My husband and I both really enjoyed the experience, and Robbie did a great job making the tour interesting and fun throughout. You could tell he genuinely loves the subject, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend this tour, and especially Robbie as a guide. Thank you for such a fun and memorable experience!
5Robbie is fun!!!
Robbie was honestly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. He made our tour fun and full of little known Harry Potter facts. My husband is not a fan, but he was converted!

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, rises on volcanic hills, with a castle on a crag, a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town.
Edinburgh Castle crowns Castle Rock and keeps the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels. From there, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the Old Town, past St Giles' Cathedral and a warren of narrow closes, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, rises above the palace with sweeping views.
