We had a fantastic tour with Jack in Edinburgh today despite the rain. We learned a lot of Scottish history and Harry Potter secrets. Jack was funny, very smart, and easygoing. His perspective on Scotland was very helpful in understanding present day. My daughter and I highly recommend this tour.

Marie hosted a one shot Dungeons and Dragons session for my friends stag do, and we had an incredible time. Although the usual Edinburgh venue was not available at the time, Marie travelled more than an hour to an accommodation we had booked in Fife. The game had a brilliant story, Marie incorporated many little jokes and references I had requested, there was a fun drinking game, and she managed to effortlessly adapt the story to all the nonsense we brought in to it! I would highly recommend this with a group of friends. Thank you!

I did both the Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes tours in Edinburgh with Marie, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and full of passion for both subjects. Her storytelling was captivating and brought each location to life, whether it was related to J.K. Rowling’s magical world or the life and inspiration behind Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective. Marie made the experience fun, informative, and truly memorable. I highly recommend her tours to anyone visiting Edinburgh — she’s a fantastic guide who clearly loves what she does!
