What to expect

Learn all about Edinburgh's connections to Harry Potter as you travel north towards the Highlands, taking in the stunning scenery along the way before hopping on board the iconic Jacobite Steam Train.

You'll leave the city behind and head into the Scottish Highlands as you follow in the footsteps of the world's most famous wizard, Harry Potter. Scotland has played a huge role 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. As you drive up the West Coast, you'll check out the Forth Bridge and the Glenfinnan Viaduct, enjoying the dramatic landscapes that have been the backdrop for some much-loved movie scenes.

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 actually boarding the iconic Hogwarts’ Express! Your passionate guides will help to soak up the Harry Potter magic as well as the real-life beauty and history of Scotland.

    Die Tour war sehr stimmungsvoll, aber der starke Akzent des Reiseleiters machte es schwierig, ihr zu folgen. Es wäre hilfreich gewesen, wenn die geplanten Stopps im Voraus bekanntgegeben worden wären. Der Zustand des Zuges ließ zu wünschen übrig, insbesondere die verschmutzten Scheiben / Toiletten!!

    Very god guides and fabulous scenery! We could though have used more information about having to drive 4 hours on bus before arriving at the train. This was not clear for us until we sat on the bus. It would have been nice with af map on the website with the bus route, train route and stops.

    This tour was better than expected! Our tour guide Karis was exceptional! She ensured that everything went smoothly, was an excellent tour guide, and also our chauffeur for the day. We had plenty of time for several stops, time for pictures, and the very anticipated Jacobite train ride! Worth it!
