What sets these walks apart

Every route here is built on real research rather than repeated rumour. Our flagship Harry Potter walk, the Rigorously Researched Harry Potter Tour, traces the cafés, closes and kirkyards that genuinely shaped the Wizarding World, with each claim checked against primary sources. The film and TV walks do the same for the productions shot across the city, from blockbusters to cult classics.

Public or private?

Public tours are the simplest way to join in: fixed departures, a small group of fellow enthusiasts, and the lowest price. Private tours hand the whole experience to your own party: your date, your pace, and the guide entirely to yourselves, which suits families, groups of friends, and special occasions.

Which one is for you?

Here for the magic? Start with the Harry Potter tours. More curious about where Avengers, Outlander or Trainspotting were filmed? The Free film-locations walk is your way in. Want to come home with the photographs and footage to prove it? The filmmaker-led video and photo tour is made for you.
