Self guided tour was excellent. We had our tickets and were ready to go when we arrived. The listening devices were great very easy to follow. You could take your time. See the things you want. Skip the things you don't it made for a delightful tour. Having a window in which to arrive was also great because if our day got a little out of control, we had room nine till four to make it one of our other tours. We had to miss because we couldn't be there.

Good evening; I am absolutely certain that this was the most exciting experience of our family vacation (myself, my wife, and our 7-year-old daughter). Unfortunately, we spent only five days in Edinburgh, but the Royals' summer residence is truly unforgettable. The rooms—intimate in size yet exquisitely furnished down to the last detail—create a genuinely welcoming, home-like atmosphere. It is easy to imagine oneself as a lucky guest at the parties held there, or to relive the tragic moments in the Princess's chambers with a genuine sense of distress—especially upon seeing the bloodstain left by Rizzio, still visible on the beautiful wooden floor of the meeting room. Creaking floors and oak-paneled walls that carry the scent of history—unforgettable! The grandeur of the gardens shown in the photos and the splendid Rolls-Royce—royal in the true sense of the word.

The check-in went smoothly and directions were clearly provided. The headset was easy to understand and app tour was available. The wall through the palace was entertaining and interesting. The walk around the grounds was lovely and the weather cooperated the entire time. We followed up the for with a strenuous hike up to the cliffs, looking out over the city. We enjoyed the flora and fauna.

It was much better than I expected, it was very interesting and the information from the headphones that you get is really good, if I had known how good it was i would have bought the full package, I only purchased for Holyrood House. I would definitely recommend it both myself and my daughter loved it, a very enjoyable couple of hours.

Had a wonderful visit there. As I suffer from hearing loss I was given special headphones which were very clear and helped me follow the tour perfectly. The palace as amazing and the gardens are a beauty. Enjoyed it all! The staff are extremely helpful....the coffee and dessert were delicious too! Keep up the good work. Maria Malta.

I have been to Holyrood Palace many times in my life. This time I had a Japanese visitor with me. We both enjoyed the visit immensely and she really appreciated the audio guide. The way the tour is organised now makes it very easy to get a picture of the history and the current use by The Royal Family.

Indulge in the regal splendor of the Holyroodhouse Palace, the residence of His Majesty in Scotland, and explore the Throne Room, used for royal receptions.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Palace Gardens, set against the backdrop of Arthur's Seat, a dormant volcano, and see if you can spot medicinal plants.

Step into the 18th-century world of fashion at The King’s Gallery, located within the Palace precincts, and discover centuries' worth of royal art.

Uncover the glitz and glam of Georgian fashion at the Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians exhibit and don't miss the King George 1V's jeweled sword.

Fun fact: On the day of the Annual Garden Party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, approximately 15,000 cups of tea are consumed.
