The tour is very well organized, with a digital guide on a smartphone that you are given at the entrance, which has a very intuitive interface. The palace is magnificent and definitely worth a visit. It is not huge, so it is easy to find time to see it even on a short stay in Edinburgh.

I found it exciting to find myself right "in history," entering places that characters who marked eras frequented. For a couple of hours I lost myself completely in that wonderful atmosphere. The audio guide was absolutely perfect in his explanations. I would never leave even from the gardens again.

Was fine to buy the tixkets online. The bad part was that we waited 45 minutes for our time slot and when we came to the museum, nobody cared we have this time slot and we had to go to the end of the queue which was much longer than before.
