What you'll do

This tour will guide through the beautiful city of Edinburgh, whilst visiting some very important spots which inspired JK Rowling in the creation of Harry Potter.

We can never know what inspires an author, as their creativity comes from many different sources. During this walking tour of Edinburgh’s Old Town, you will discover all the legends and hidden spots of Edinburgh which surrounded and inspired JK Rowling.

Walk through the beautiful cobbled streets with an expert Harry Potter and Edinburgh guide, who will be there to answer any questions you may have.

Be sure to wear warm clothes and comfortable shoes. Cloaks, wands and hats are of course recommended! Also be sure to check the weather and bring a raincoat or umbrella if necessary.

After your 2 hour guided tour, you will get the chance to grab a quick potion in an alchemy lab to celebrate walking in the steps of a great author.

On our off the beaten path immersive adventures we don't just share the history of Edinburgh, we bring you into the story with us, creating interactive theatre experiences showcasing Scottish History and legends. To foster immersion we work in exceptional locations not only the ancient streets and alleyways of the city but also medieval castles, underground prisons or caves, and we use set design, costumes, role-play, puzzles, experimentation, music and more.
