Well managed, super efficient booking and entry process. The palace is beautiful and the audio guide was informative and equipment was really intuitive.

The palace was incredible and to be able to visit it almost by night added a new dimension to this experience. The fact that we were very few to visit at the same time helped also to appreciate it more

Very impressive building containing the original square tower with further add-ons over the centuries. Beautiful interior with wonderful description of each room via the personal audio system. Staff mannerly and attentive.
Garden grounds and ruins of ancient church, also impressive.
Palace cafe provided us with good food at very reasonable prices.
Well worth a visit.

Easy to book and saved queuing at the Palsce ( queue wasn't long) but went straight through. Excellent couple of hours looking around the Palace very interesting.

A real palace with lots to see and a gory history! Also a beautiful building, with circular turrets.
Easy to book, but I would have preferred the option of extending my ticket to a one year pass!

I loved the tour of the palace but was saddened by the fact I should have been able to pay senior price. I believe you call concession.

Great historical location. Many of the rooms are empty, maybe consider adding some of the older furniture based on old photographs etc.

We enjoyed our visit to Holyrood Palace. The audio tour was very informative; the gardens were beautiful, and the scones were the best in Edinburgh!

I really enjoyed visiting the Palace however I would have liked to see other areas for example like Hampton Court, the kitchens and maybe the servants areas

All good and straight forward. You still need to queue to get a ticket though and you do not qualify to upgrade to the year ticket

We have missed the Palace two times in the past. Due to being a closed on our visiting day. This year we got in. It was was worth the wait. A beautiful time touring the palace. The cafe is a bright spot in a long day to rest and refuel. Everyone there were very friendly and helpful. Thank you, Another happy US visitor

The guy who gave us the tour (Richard) was superb. His stories were rich in detail and very informative as well as being entertaining.

Everything but the nonstop screaming tantrum of a kid the ENTIRE time we were in the palace and staff didn't ask them to take the kid outside. Since the parent was so totally inconsiderate staff should have gotten them out. We flew 3000 miles for this solemn experience and it was ruined for us. It would have been fabulous if we could have quietly experienced our tour and

Holyrood Hoyse is stunningly beautiful! So very glad we visited. The audio tour explained much and therefore quite informative. I would recommend visiting the house as well as the beautiful garden areas.

There's a lot of history going on there. Really enjoyed the experience and it was really helpful having an included audio visual guide.

The whole palace was very well explained in the audio guide. There is a room where you can dress up with all the period accessories and go back in time. In addition, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I recommend it 100% on your visit to Edinburgh.

Ticketing experience was good. Did not get to see all of the castle, but what I did see was very interesting. Our Guide was very informative.
