IMPORTANT: Our tour is offered in English, German and French. Please use the "Show (more) dates" button to check the language you are booking in.
Join David, Jule, and Eden as we see the beautiful Scottish city of Edinburgh through the eyes of J.K Rowling. From her poor beginnings to a billionaire author.
Our tour is brilliant for solo travellers, families, birthday parties, children's parties, team building, and corporate events. For high profile events, ask about our premium tour.
First, we'll do our own Hogwarts House test for all the muggles. There will be a Harry Potter trivia competition between the houses, so all need to be sorted!
We'll then start our tour of Edinburgh using moving images to keep the action fluid and accessible to people will all internet speeds. We'll show you the places where J.K Rowling drew her inspiration, such as the school believed to be the inspiration for Hogwarts, the shops that found their way into Diagon Ally, the graveyard where she got her characters' names and much, much more!
Along the way, we'll tell you about the inspiration for some of the most loved characters, and we'll finish with the final quiz to see which Hogwarts house wins.
If there is a character you want to know more about, let us know! We also give extra house points to those who show up in costume.
If you can't find a suitable time slot, please message me.

David
The first host and a muggle-born Slytherin, I have been a tour guide in Edinburgh for 8 years. I worked mainly in partnership with SANDEMAN's and became the most reviewed guide on their Trip Advisor (Australian David).
Jule
A pureblood Ravenclaw, born in Germany, I became a tour guide after finishing my Masters’s degree in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. I chose to be a guide as I love this city and wanted to share that love with others. I think Edinburgh is a truly magical place.
Eden
A Half-blood Gryffindor, I was born to a British mother and a French father and therefore grew up between the two countries. I have a love for Edinburgh - a city full of history, secrets, and magic. I am delighted to continue working as an online guide and to bring together my passion for Harry Potter, art, and languages.

If you are a Harry Potter Fan this is a great experience. It brings the books/movies to life, and you feel like you are there.
I also loved hearing more about the inspiration behind the books and learning about J.K. Rowling’s life.
Lastly the element of Trivia brings fun competition to the tour
David was a fantastic tour guide. He was funny, personable, knew his facts but also brought his own dynamic to the experience.

This was an amazing experience! We had a combination of both Harry Potter fans and people who had never read the books, children and adults and we all had a blast. David was engaging and added personal touches to make the tour reflect our group. Highly recommend!

What a magical tour! Jule was excellent at bringing to life what inspired J K Rowling to write the Harry Potter books. I had no idea how much JK put into writing the books—every tiny detail has some explanation!—and Jule was brilliant at showing us the very real influence that Edinburg had on creating the magical world of Harry Potter. And what was great was to be able to see Edinburg in all its glory—most of the photos on the tour were taken during lockdown so you get to see the beautiful streets of Edinburgh without any people (which would be impossible any other way!) I thoroughly recommend the tour for any Potter-head, BUT it is also good for non-Potter fans. A couple of people in my group didn't know much about Harry Potter but Jule was able to guide them through the magical world of Harry Potter's Edinburgh with generosity, good humour, and kindness. Would recommend to anyone!
