“It was great to get the backstory on JK Rowling and the places and names that inspired her in creating the Harry Potter series. Jackson was our guide and he was so enthusiastic and entertaining. I liked the smaller group. We passed other tours of considerable size and I can’t imagine everyone could hear what was being said. We were lucky to be a small group. And we topped it off with tickets to Edinburgh Castle at the end of the tour. So amazing to see such an iconic structure.”
