TRAFALGAR has launched
a Harry Potter-themed tour
with a once-off departure on
August 19.
Wicked Spells and
Wretched Secrets is a
13-day tour priced from
R48 607 per person
sharing, which travels from
London through Oxford,
Cheltenham, the Lake
District, Glasgow and
Edinburgh, taking in various
film locations, studios and
souvenir shops linked to the
popular children’s films.
Tour highlights include
a visit to Platform 93/4
at Kings Cross Station in
London, Hogwarts Great
Hall, which was filmed at
Oxford University, and a
guided tour of Malham Cove
where Harry and Hermione
hid from Voldemort.
Trafalgar has noticed a
growing trend of clients
showing interest in ‘setjetting’
tours recently and
often promotes existing
tours as options for movie
buffs to visit many of
the locations where their
favourite films were shot.
The growing popularity
of this market inspired
Trafalgar to launch its
popular Highland Trail
through Scotland, which
was inspired by the popular
Outlander series, and now
to launch Wicked Spells and
Wretched Secrets.
Other Trafalgar tours
visiting filming locations of
the up-and-coming movie
season, include the WW1
and WW2 Battlefields tour
that visits many sites from
the movie, Dunkirk. The
Castles and Kilts Experience
visits the Lake District
where Beatrix Potter was
inspired to create Peter
Rabbit, and the Best of the
Italian Lakes tour visits the
region where Call me by your
name was filmed.
