Overview

Quotes Logo The Harry Potter and English Castle Italian Tour Guide takes adventurers on a magical day trip from Edinburgh to Northumberland, England!

This tour, led in Italian, explores the magnificent castles of Bamburgh and Alnwick. Travelers can explore the grand rooms of these castles, still home to Northumberland's aristocracy, and soak in the enchanting atmosphere of Alnwick Castle, famously known as “Hogwarts School”. The tour crosses into England to wander the streets of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Visitors can choose to explore Bamburgh Castle and discover its hidden mysteries, or participate in a broomstick training session at Alnwick Castle. From November to March, instead of Alnwick Castle, the tour stops at Lindisfarne (Holy Island) and Alnwick village for lunch.

This experience includes a professional guide, transportation in an air-conditioned minivan, and live commentary. Please note that food, drinks, and hotel pickup/drop-off are not included. With a limit on group size, this tour offers a more personalized and immersive experience. Quotes Logo
