directions to the meeting place when you are new to a city should be a lot more specific than
Our guide Monique was darling and had quite a bit of information about JK Rowling. But besides seeing Tom Riddle's grave (which was cool), IMO there wasn't really that much to see.
This tour was horrible, I would give it a zero if possible because almost 0 content was related to Harry Potter. I left before it was over. Guide seemed to know almost nothing about Harry Potter. Felt terrible for the kids on the walk. There was nothing magical about this. Skip at all costs.
Great tour for enthusiastic Harry Potter Fans! Be prepared to walk .
Tour guide was well informed, but the 2hr duration felt too long for the amount of content.
We did this tour on our first day in Edinburgh and it was a great way to get acclimated to the lay-out of the city. We were introduced to places that we would have had a hard time finding on our own and it was an enjoyable experience!
