Traveler reviews
Great fun and absolutely recommend
Great fun and interactive! Monique was an amazing tour guide, ready to answer any and all questions related to the history of the city, bars, food, and of course JKRowling's many adventures and quests across Edinburgh. Great trivia and loads of friendly people. I would absolutely recommend this quick two-hour tour to all! Thanks again Monique for the delicious food and souvenir shop recommendations! Cheers from your fellow hufflepuff, Eric
