About this experience
This Edinburgh walking tour combines a guided visit to locations connected to the Harry Potter series with entry to Camera Obscura's House of Illusions. The tour runs for approximately three and a half hours and begins at 122 High Street on the Royal Mile, covering Old Town on foot in a small group with a live guide. Edinburgh's Old Town provided JK Rowling with much of the atmosphere behind the wizarding world, and the route takes in the sites most closely associated with her writing. Stops include Greyfriars Kirkyard, the Elephant Café where Rowling drafted early chapters, Waverley Station, Edinburgh University Old College, and Victoria Street, widely cited as an influence on Diagon Alley. The tour concludes at Edinburgh City Chambers, after which tickets give entry to Camera Obscura's House of Illusions, a five-floor attraction with optical illusions, hands-on activities, and access to the rooftop terrace with views over Edinburgh. Food, drinks, and hotel transfers are not included. The cancellation policy allows cancellation before the booked timeslot.
