Private Harry Potter Guided tour in Edinburgh in English or French
Embark on a private immersive tour to uncover the legendary tales of Edinburgh, which may have inspired JK Rowling's Harry Potter saga. Conclude your journey with monstrous sweets!
Did you know that there's a grave of Thomas Riddell in one of Edinburgh's cemeteries? And did you know that the white stag holds significance as a symbol of Edinburgh? The origins of an author's inspiration are often a mystery, drawing from a multitude of sources. However, on a walking tour of the Old Town, you'll delve into the legends and hidden corners of Edinburgh that surrounded JK Rowling when she first lived here in 1993.
When you book directly through our website, you'll also have the chance to savor monstrous sweets, letting your taste buds journey into the wizarding world.
Tour Highlights:
- Greyfriars Kirkyard: Step into the haunting atmosphere of Greyfriars Kirkyard, where tombstones bearing names like Thomas Riddell and William McGonagall might ignite your imagination with wizarding possibilities.
- Victoria Street: Stroll along the picturesque Victoria Street, its lively and twisting layout possibly reminiscent of Diagon Alley. Take in the vibrant shops and charming facades that could have inspired Rowling's magical marketplace.
- Grassmarket: Dating back to the 15th century, this market witnessed executions, perhaps providing the backdrop for infamous beheaded ghosts or other spectral tales!
