Unser Guide war mit soviel Herzblut dabei, als Weins durch die Privaträume führte, das war sensationell. Und auch der Audio Guide für die anschließende "Standard Führung " durch Holyroodhouse war der beste den ich je erlebt habe. Nicht zu lang und nicht zu kurz, interessant erzählt und auch interaktive Parts. Großes Kompliment an die Macher! Beide Führungen sind sehr zu empfehlen!!! Und der Service der Mitarbeiter vor Ort ist beeindruckend! Freundlich, hilfsbereit, professionell, kompetent, engagiert....

It was an extremely interesting tour and being able to see parts of the private apartments was a special privilege. Our tour guide (Jorge) was very knowledgeable and made the tour informative as well as fun. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and the tour was very well organized.

It was interesting to hear about each room and to see what kind of decorating was present in the palace. It was not nearly as formal as I expected it to be.

Holyroodhouse is amazing. My tour was a private tour of the Queens rooms at Holyroodhouse. I feel extremely privileged to have seen her private rooms.

Best £50 I've ever spent. The tour was well paced with an enthusiastic guide. He had lots of information regarding the rooms and personal stories about the royal family. I was able to see Queen Elizabeth's dressing room and sitting room - she had a pink sofa! The corgi's bowls and puppy wee stains on the floor really added to the experience, as if she had just stepped out of the door. It was very emotional to see the late Queen and Prince Phillip's personal belongings in every room. We weren't able to take photographs which I fully understanded. This again added to the experience though as people were listening and taking it all in rather than focussing on photos. A wonderful experience that I would recommend to any royalist.
