An Wonderful Experience about Edinburgh's City Tour for Harry Potter, Haggis & Horrible Histories Robert is an excellent storyteller and makes you feel more interest about the history of Edinburgh. Recommend to join his tour. He also recommended a good restaurant to me for trying a traditional Scottish food - haggis that was delicious. 😊

Best Harry Potter walking tour It was an amazing experience with a very knowledgeable and funny guide who was very adaptable to all our wishes and guaranteed we had the best time! We saw not only the most memorable places concerning Harry Potter (inclusive, some insider information) but also got to know Edinburgh better. Can't recommend it enough!

3 day Isle of Skye Tour We had the best time touring the Isle of Skye with Rob! Rob made an individualized itinerary for our trip combining sightseeing, hikes, castles, and other tours. He is full of historical knowledge, fun facts, and humor that made every moment of our trip feel intentional and unique. Rob was able to perfectly combine our goals with excellent suggestions of his own to make the most of our experience. All accomodations were comfortable and exactly what we needed. Could not have asked for a better visit through the Highlands and Isle of Skye and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a guided experience in Scotland.

Why visit Edinburgh?

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland is the jewel of the country, boasting a distinct charm which blends its unique history, culture and natural beauty. What sets exploring the city apart is its exceptional walkability, allowing you to effortlessly navigate through its captivating cobbled streets and cool attractions. Making it the perfect destination for immersive experiences like Edinburgh walking tours and city walks.

 

Step back in time and visit the iconic Edinburgh Castle in the heart of the Old Town. Roam the Royal Mile and immerse yourself in the magical ambiance that fueled J.K. Rowling’s imagination through a Harry Potter walking tour. Wander through the historical streets, enjoy the cozy pubs and visit vibrant Edinburgh breweries or distilleries which reflect Edinburgh’s brewing heritage. For a panoramic perspective, hike up Arthur’s Seat, and be rewarded with breathtaking views of the city. Edinburgh, with its blend of rich and more often than not dark history, spirited atmosphere and stunning architecture promises an unforgettable journey through time. Picture yourself walking in the footsteps of Charles Dickens or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, finding inspiration just as they did. Whether a history buff, Harry Potter enthusiast, or one appreciating a culturally rich city, Edinburgh caters for everyone. 

 

To truly embrace the magical streets, castle viewpoints and dark history we recommend spending up to 4 days in the city and make an Edinburgh walking tour part of your journey. Dive into the Edinburgh Potter Trail, a specialised history and Harry Potter tour of Edinburgh, a Royal Mile tour finishing up at Bellfield Brewery for a tour and beer tasting session or contact us for a bespoke Edinburgh walking tour to enhance your experience further.
