Frequently asked questions
Does this tour visit any Harry Potter film locations?
No. No Harry Potter scenes were filmed in Edinburgh, so the tour focuses on the real literary history — the places that inspired Rowling while she was writing the books, including Greyfriars Kirkyard and the streets around the Old Town.
Is this suitable for children who are big Harry Potter fans?
Yes, the interactive quiz and Hogwarts House sorting make it particularly enjoyable for younger fans. Children under 4 are free of charge, and all under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.
Where exactly do we meet, and how will I find the guide?
Meet at the William Chambers Monument on Chambers Street. Your guide will be there with a Harry Potter-themed sign to help you spot them.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No — a mobile ticket shown on your phone is perfectly fine.
Do I need to know the Harry Potter books to enjoy this tour?
A passing familiarity helps, but the guide brings the context. The Edinburgh history woven into the route means even casual fans or curious travellers will find it worthwhile.
Is the tour accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility?
The tour covers Edinburgh's Old Town, which includes cobbled streets and some uneven ground. If you have specific mobility requirements, contact the operator before booking to discuss suitability.
