Oh my gosh, SARAH WAS THE BEST!!!! She knew all the tidbits and stories that I loved to hear! She knew so much about not only HP, but Edinburgh and all the little nuances of the city and how it all connects. I found this tour absolutely facinating!! I am newer to the HP fandom, but I still was able to learn SO much! I espceidally loved the stories Sarah knew about Greyfriars Bobby and how that connects to the books. I won't spoil it for you.. GO DO THIS!!!

Tour guide was quirky and knowledgeable! Really enjoyed the tour. Only criticism was difficulty finding the meeting point as it doesn’t seem to exist as a number on high street, should change!

Our guide Callum. He was so fun, knowledgeable, and entertaining! He pointed out so many interesting places pertaining to JK Rowling and how these places inspired the Harry Potter series. Greyfriars was incredible especially in the late afternoon light… or lack there of.
