Immersive Experiences

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.

The interactions with the actors was definitely the most entertaining part. You could never expect who they would talk to and they made sure everyone felt included.

We booked the Edinburgh Zoo + Edinburgh Dungeon combo tickets through Headout and honestly had such a great time. Edinburgh Zoo was lovely to walk around, well laid out, and the animals looked well cared for. Seeing a sleepy tiger absolutely zonked out was a highlight and made for the cutest photo ever. The views over the city were a nice bonus too. The Edinburgh Dungeon was the complete opposite vibe in the best way: dark, funny, immersive, and full of brilliant actors who really committed to the experience. Booking through Headout was quick, easy, and cheaper than buying separately. Perfect combo if you want a full day that mixes wholesome animal moments with laughs, jumps, and a bit of spooky fun.
