Rob was a fantastic guide in every sense! His knowledge, warm demeanor, stories, jokes & personal touches made for an interesting, illuminating and amusing tour. We were lucky to have him all to ourselves and he went above and beyond with additional recommendations for attractions, dining, etc for the rest of our stay in Edinburgh. Highly recommend for a fun and pun-derful time.

My mom and I went on this tour just the other day and couldn't have loved it more! It's obvious that Rob loves giving these tours and wants everyone to have a good experience...he feels more like a friend than a tour guide. He provides a lot of info on the tour (not overwhelming at all though) and doesn't mind answering questions as well. We had so much fun! I would definitely recommend this one!!

Rob was fantastic, and the tour was both fun and really interesting! Not only is Rob deeply knowledgeable about all things Harry Potter, but also about the history of Edinburgh. He is a compelling storyteller, and very inclusive, making the group feel very comfortable. The tour was well paced so we received a lot of information without feeling rushed or overloaded. Thank you Rob for a great experience! You are a terrific guide!

Robb was great and freeflowing with Harry Potter groaners. It was a great time had by all. He even made sure to cater to those non potter fanatics

We had a great time on this tour. We had a mix of Harry Potter fanatics and not and Rob was great about reading the room and adjusting to the group. Bad jokes? He’s got em in spades! We learned a lot. Thanks Rob

The best Harry Potter tour and the flying car was on Victoria Street that day. The history on public executions and Maggie Dickson story was very good. And the best ending at Greyfriars….. a must do!!!

We went as a family and had a fantastic time, Rob is a knowledgeable and humorous host who knows some awful jokes (So bad they're good!!!). The small group size helps and you feel like you are going for a walk with a friend rather than just being part of the herd. Can't recommend highly enough.
