Definitely a must when you're visiting Edinburgh. The palace of Holyroodhouse was an amazing experience full of beautiful views inside and outside of the castle and an interesting history aspect. The organization here was perfect and the audio guide was just on point, a lot of fascinating information packed in a reasonable amount of time. The whole experience was truly absorbing and the castle was such an incredible place. The service was very friendly. My expectation were high but the quality of the tour and the beauty the castle really suprised me in a great way. Great organization shows the amount of amazing work, effort and talented team of people behind it. Incredible experience, highly recommend!

I thought that the audio and video tour of the Palace of Holyrood House was particularly well organised.. The tour guided you in a logical progression through the various rooms of the palce and there were visual prompts to help you locate and identify key features as well as video clips and photos to give background information. I found booking the experience quite straightforward, apart from the instruction that said tickets must be printed out. This was a bit worrying to a tourist with no access to a printer and proved quite unnessessary, as almost everyone in the entrance queue had tickets on their phone and there was no problem.

Touring Holyrood Palace was wonderful! From the time we got in line to get our tickets, until we exited, we had a wonderful time. The lines went fast, the audio tour was very easy to understand and very informative. I learned a lot about it's history! This was my first time in Scotland, and Holyrood was at the top of our list of places to visit. It was even better than I imagined. I would highly recommend this place! I would love to come back with more friends and family to show them the rich history here!

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.

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.
