Discover the fascinating stories behind the Edinburgh and Harry Potter

“We arrived in Edinburgh at its busiest time, during the Festival, but despite the lack of parking and restaurant reservations, we had a blast. The Scottish capital is filled with history, from its Royal Mile to its millennium-old castle and, of course, its greatest export. No, not whisky or tartan, Harry Potter! I wanted to see the streets, buildings, and cafes that inspired J.K. Rowling, so we booked a walking tour to discover it all. Even Louis was fascinated by the stories from our local guide, who told us lots of interesting history and facts about Edinburgh too, making this tour a must for any Muggle.”
