Great tour and great guide - If you like Harry Potter then this a great tour! Loads of info and also some on Marvel and Game of Thrones as well as Outlander. If you are really lucky you will get Kiersty as your guide. She is a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining.

The Harry Potter walking... - The Harry Potter walking tour was fine, but this does not include a Castle tour. It is only a Castle entrance ticket. It doesn't even include an audio tour. That was extra at the Castle.
