    We booked this tour at the last moment and with some doubts… but, despite being avid Harry Potter fans, Clare managed to amaze us with anecdotes we didn't know and let us discover new views from which to admire the city. The race divided into Hogwarts houses is an original and addictive idea! Unfortunately however, being the only non-English native speakers, it was a bit difficult for us to participate, but otherwise it is not too difficult to understand everything even if the tour is not in Italian

    I had a magical time on this tour with Kieran. He was very animated, knew so many interesting things about Edinburgh and Harry Potter, and was also very considerate about our desire to take pictures at each stop. I really fell in love with taking guided walking tours after this experience.

    Clare our tour guide was so full of life that you couldn’t help but enjoy it. The tour itself was really interesting and informative and was gentle enough for most people to be able to give it a go. The competitive nature of our tour gave it the extra touch we were looking for.
