Not afraid of frocking up in a kilt and jumping on the bagpipes? Perhaps you've got some Scottish blood! And lucky you if you do. Home to mystical castles, glorious highlands and enough whisky to booze the Loch Ness Monster, you'll be head over heels with all things Scottish by the time your week of adventure with 35-45s is up.
It was a great experience. I would’ve never seen any of the sites on my own that we saw on the bus if we go again, I know the sites I want to spend more time.
Maia was excellent, informative, flexible, all around awesome. Would of like more plans in Edinburgh instead of being escorted to off and on bus. Edinburgh Castle tour was sold out by the time we got there in the afternoon. If we knew that day was unescorted we would of planned our day better.What a great surprise we had Maia.
Join us for a day of magical adventures, epic tales and stunning landscapes, all in the name of the legendary wee wizard that is Harry Potter. Scotland is a must-visit destination for Harry Potter fans thanks to our impressive list of connections to the world-famous Harry Potter books and movies; from J.K. Rowling’s favourite writing spots and the charming city sights which inspired her, to awesome filming locations and scenic backdrops in the Highlands.
The highlight of the trip is, of course, a 2-hour journey on the Jacobite Steam Train: better known to Harry and his mates as the Hogwarts’ Express. In just one magic-packed day, you will follow in Harry Potter’s footsteps, and experience some of Scotland’s most jaw-dropping sights along the way.
Well organized and the trip manager was very knowledgeable and kind. The driver was amazing and kind as well. I felt safe and taken care of the whole trip.
