Paul Potter The Great - Paul is a fabulous guide for the Potter tour - easily keeping participants of all ages engaged - from seemingly disengaged teenagers and kids to the slightly doddering. Fun way to walk round the royal mile and neighboring areas - good way to get introduced to Edinburgh on foot.

Hazel is who you want as a tour guide! No matter your age! - “ witch Hazel” was so entertaining so friendly so patient and so kind. She was so engaging with our 10-year-old and really sparked his hobby of everything Harry Potter. She was able to keep him focused and interested throughout the tour and as a teachers that really spoke to me & my husband. We also loved learning more about Harry Potter and J. K. Rowling. Hazel really was amazing and we will never forget the afternoon we spent with her walking the streets of Edinburgh .Hazel knows what’s up 1000%.

Benajim, the Legend. - A lovely HP tour, much insights about the origin of the idea of HP and life and inspiration of JK Rowling leading towards the writing and filming of HP, and a lovely stroll across the city. Mad even better with the amazing tour guide Benjamin. Loved the guy, amazing energy and a lovely way of keeping everyone engaged.

✨ Magical Experience on the Harry Potter Walking Tour! 🧙‍♂️🪄 - We had the best time on the Harry Potter walking tour, and Benjamin was an absolutely fantastic guide! As a true Potterhead, he brought so much energy, fun, and knowledge to the experience. His passion for all things Harry Potter was contagious and made the tour even more enjoyable. What stood out the most was how inclusive and engaging he was making sure everyone felt involved and had a great time, whether you knew every line of the books or were just along for the adventure. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and saw the magical side of the city through fresh eyes. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves Harry Potter or just wants a fun, unique way to explore the city. 10/10 for Benjamin he truly made it magical!
