A visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh's royal residence, was a deeply evocative experience. The complex is impeccably maintained and managed with great attention to detail. The tour remains rich and engaging, offering an authentic journey through centuries of Scottish history. The interiors, still used today by the Royal Family, are remarkably well preserved and restore a solemn and refined atmosphere. Each room tells stories of intrigue, power and destiny, linked in particular to the intense and tragic figure of Mary Stuart. Holyrood Palace is an essential stop for anyone visiting Edinburgh: a place where history, elegance and emotion are harmoniously and unforgettably interwoven.

It was a very pleasant visit in November. The weather was beautiful to walk through the gardens. I thoroughly enjoyed the palace itself. The tapestries and portraits were absolutely beautiful. There were 2 gift shops which had some very nice gifts to purchase.i also enjoyed a little lunch at the cafe. The staff wore very nice quality kilts and were very pleasant. Definitely a great half day experience. Thank you Cheryl Levine

This was 4th time of attempting to access the palace. The Royal family were always there before ( rude ). But today was so special. Walking in the footsteps of kings and Queens, I was privileged to walk the corridors and rooms of this interesting home. Where history was made . Thorough good value and I will be recommending it to others

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.

The visit to Holyrood Palace was an extremely pleasant and enriching experience. The palace itself is truly magnificent, rich in history and architectural beauty, and it stands as one of the most impressive royal residences in Scotland. A special mention must be given to the staff, who were exceptionally kind, highly professional, and consistently helpful throughout the visit. Their courtesy and willingness to assist greatly enhanced the overall experience and made visitors feel genuinely welcome. The tour was particularly enjoyable thanks to the audioguides, which included visual support that significantly improved understanding and engagement. The explanations provided were clear, informative, and well-balanced—interesting without ever becoming overly long or tedious. Overall, Holyrood Palace offers a well-organized, insightful, and memorable visit, made even more remarkable by the outstanding quality of its staff and visitor services.

Wonderful experience for our family of four (two college-age children). We especially loved the self-paced nature of the tour and accompanying multimedia guide, which allowed us to take our time in the areas or rooms of greatest interest. The State Rooms/Apartments, Mary Queen of Scots’ chambers, the artwork and the ruins of Holyrood Abbey were just some of tour highlights. Highly recommended!

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.

I enjoyed everything about the tour. Inside the palace, walking in the Abby and the gardens. Have been in the palace before but always in the summer. Would have enjoyed seeing the private section but that was all booked.
