Best Harry Potter Tour Ever! OMG! This was absolutely the most wonderful time! Jackson is hands down the best guide I’ve ever met — an endless source of fun facts, humor, and pure passion for the world of Harry Potter. You just can’t resist his energy! Massive shout-out to our amazing Slytherin guide, Jackson 🐍💚 Aside from the magic of the tour, Edinburgh itself is breathtaking — it’s impossible not to fall in love with this city. And discovering all the Harry Potter history woven through its streets (after all, it is the birthplace of HP!) makes it a total dream for Potterheads. 10/10 would do it again! ⚡️🏰✨

This tour was absolutely magical! Jackson was hands down the best guide I’ve ever had, full of energy, hilarious, super knowledgeable, and just an overall delight to be around. He brought the streets of Edinburgh (and the world of Harry Potter) to life with his amazing stories and fun facts. I adored every single minute and honestly, Jackson made the experience unforgettable. ✨ And can we just take a moment to appreciate how fabulous and adorable he was even though he’s a Slytherin? 😂🪄💚 If you love Harry Potter (or just good vibes and great storytelling), this tour is an absolute must. I’d give it 87 stars out of 5 if I could!!!
