Discover the magic of Edinburgh and the amazing sights that inspired JK Rowling's wizarding world – all with our fun Potter-head guide!

This small-group walking tour is perfect for people who want a more personalised in-depth Potter themed tour of the city.

We'll meet at Tron Kirk on The Royal Mile, and the first stop of the tour is at the historic Waverley Train Station. Then head to Edinburgh University Old College – a famous old campus which provided lots of inspiration to JK Rowling's creations.

We continue through the atmospheric old streets of the Old Town, stopping at Greyfriars Kirkyard which inspired Tom Riddle's Grave and a shop that inspired Diagon Alley on Victoria Street. We'll also pass by the Elephant Café where JK Rowling sat for many hours dreaming up the world of Harry Potter!
