This day tour departs from Edinburgh.
Escape the city for the day and head to the Scottish Highlands by coach. Follow in the footsteps of the world’s most famous wizard, Harry Potter. Scotland has played a huge part in the story of Harry Potter, from the scenic filming locations and inspiring architecture to the coffee shop where J.K. Rowling is said to have written the first novel.
Riding the Jacobite Steam Train is a bucket-list experience for any traveller, but even more so for Harry Potter fans who know that they are in fact boarding the 'Hogwarts Express.' Our passionate guides will immerse you in all the magic of Harry Potter, plus the real-life beauty and history of Scotland.
