Despite living in Edinburgh for 30 years from birth, I had never visited inside of Palace of Holyroodhouse. Some of the Roual household were in residence at that time. An opportunity arose when living in the south of England to take my partner to Edinburgh to visit both the tattoo and Hollywood Palace. I thoroughly enjoyed the occasion, knowing much of the Scottish heritage, and my partner also enjoyed the experience so much that she would like to visit again, which we will do. Guides on every level were knowledgeable and helpful together with the handheld description of every room. A great experience, not to be missed.

Self guided tour was excellent. We had our tickets and were ready to go when we arrived. The listening devices were great very easy to follow. You could take your time. See the things you want. Skip the things you don't it made for a delightful tour. Having a window in which to arrive was also great because if our day got a little out of control, we had room nine till four to make it one of our other tours. We had to miss because we couldn't be there.

Fabulous house & gardens. Loved listening to the audio with all the history of each room. It was fun looking for the footprint in the picture, learning about how he used prisoners' faces used in his portraits. Staff really helpful and friendly. Good value for tickets. Would definitely visit again when I visit Edinburgh.

A very interesting place to visit with a good guide. I didn’t attempt the stairs to the Queen Mary's bedchamber though, a step too steep for me. I found the ruins of the Abbey and the gardens very pleasant to walk around too.

The palace is a beautiful counterpoint to the ruggedness of Edinburgh Castle. The history is well presented and the comments from the Royal Fsmily add perspective.

The check-in went smoothly and directions were clearly provided. The headset was easy to understand and app tour was available. The wall through the palace was entertaining and interesting. The walk around the grounds was lovely and the weather cooperated the entire time. We followed up the for with a strenuous hike up to the cliffs, looking out over the city. We enjoyed the flora and fauna.
