Join us on a private tour through Edinburgh's historic Old Town.
We will explore where J. K. Rowling gained her inspiration for her global phenomenon of Harry Potter. We will begin on the famous Royal Mile and in the shadows of Edinburgh Castle. Next we will wander down Edinburgh's "Diagon Alley" and then head into a real graveyard to see the grave "he who must not be named". We will also learn about the cafe's where she sat and wrote the beginning of the book and where she finished in the realms of luxury.
Having gained a degree in Tourism Management in Edinburgh and having extensively worked in the Scottish tourism industry I feel I have the passion to show you around. I specialised my final year Thesis paper on the phenomenon that is Harry Potter and how it relates to Scottish tourism.
All tours are small group sizes. No more than 10 people per group.

Kat is a very friendly tour guide with a great sense of humor and a wide range of knowledge about the history of Edinburgh. She told us many interesting stories about the dark history of witchcraft and Harry Potter. I highly recommend the Travel Kat Tour for all HP lovers.

My friends were visiting Edinburgh and we contacted Kat at short notice, a day or two before arrival using the contact details on her website. Kat was very prompt to reply and very accommodating even for a small group (2 adults and a child). She more or less created a bespoke tour for them with bits of the Harry Potter tour and Edinburgh history also, which was great! No issues in recommending Kat as a tour guide for Edinburgh!

Really recommend a tour with Travel Kat! I took this tour with my friends and learn so many things about witchcraft, history and Harry Potter. Kat was very engaging and presented both dark sides of the city but also fun facts which I did not even know about despite living in the city for 10 years. Kat answered all of our questions and recommended the most picturesque spots and best places to buy some souvenirs. We even got great recommendations for best spots for coffee and authentic local pubs. Thanks a lot Kat!

She is knowledge, friendly, engaging, great with all age groups—
I’ve hired Kat twice to do student group tours. [American high school kids from the US]
Kat took us all over Edinburgh, and it was a blast. Affordable.
You’re welcome in advance.

Wonderful walking tour filled with interesting historical information and places around Edinburgh we loved seeing many key places that may have inspired JK Rowling as she was creating the Harry Potter Series. We would highly recommend this fun tour our family of 6 had a great time!!

Kat was an excellent guide. She got to know our family, shared both historical facts and Potter lore, and offered great insight. She paced the tour for the mobility needs of our family, she helped us take silly photos, and shared fascinating stories. We took this tour as our first event of our visit to Edinburgh and it was a great introduction to the city. Highly recommend!

Kat was wonderful. Despite a rainy day she made the entire experience special and even had wands for photos near a certain famous grave! She gave great recommendations for local used bookstores and was a fantastic tour guide! HP lovers should definitely enjoy her tour! Plus many who don’t live HP!

Katrina is very knowledgeable and friendly. She provided lots of opportunities to ask questions and take pictures and even provided wands for a photo op. I highly recommend doing a tour with her.
