Clare, our guide, was absolutely fantastic in giving us great insights on all things Harry Potter. It was real fun with each of us being assigned to a house - just like in HP. I would recommend this tour to anyone who knows and loves Harry Potter and hopefully they get Clare as their guide.

Kyle was a truly wonderful guide! We really enjoyed the two-hour long tour, which flew by quickly. The trivia questions kept the mood light so there was never a dull moment. You could collect points for the house you were sorted into at the beginning (we proudly represented Hufflepuff and drew up second after Slytherin (I know, right..)). Besides gaining new knowledge about J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series, we were also given a wonderful impression of Edinburgh! We could not be more pleased with this tour and do recommend it highly.
