Palace of Holyroodhouse

It was a delightful experience to see this beautiful and cozy palace. The audio guide was most helpful in navigating and understanding the history of this palace. It is worth a visit for sure if you are in Edinburgh

Nice place to visit! The tickets are affordable, and the place itself has lots of history to show. They do not allow photos to be taken inside, but they include in your ticket a device+headset with guide videos for each checkpoint of the palace as you walk through. For families visiting, there is a kid's playroom with royal themed costumes, which are good as photo props. There is also a giftshop as well as a lovely cafe/restaurant located on-site, just outside the main entrance. There is also special parking available nearby, which was a relief.

This self-guided audio tour was very well set up and allowed you to enjoy viewing each room without being overloaded with information. Most of the palace is easy to negotiate and you have the ability to skip certain audio portions if you choose not to climb stairs, etc. the outside gardens are not to be missed. The gift shop is well stocked and you don’t need to go on the tour to make a purchase. There is a cafe and restaurant on the premises. A must visit if you are in Edinburgh! No photos are allowed inside the castle and security is present throughout. This is a working castle.

The palace is a good place to visit if you are in Edinburgh. Quite big and the guided radio tours were quite good. You may be able to complete the visit in 2 hours maximum. It has a lot of paintings and tapestry (quite big ones). A lot of state rooms and art. No photos were allowed inside the state rooms

Interesting and informative audio tour of this beautiful working royal residence. No photography is allowed in the palace, but you can snap away outside, in the gardens, and ruins of the abbey. Worth booking in advance to skip the entry queue.

Beautiful historic palace. Definitely one of the main attractions of Scotland.The audio guide is one of the better ones we've experienced, it's engaging and informative whilst not being draining.You get to learn a lot about the history of the palace and Scotland whilst being entertained.Highly recommend getting tickets in advance.

If you’re visiting Edinburgh you have to visit here.We booked the night before online (slightly cheaper)Turned up had our tickets scanned , no wait at all. Then grabbed our headphones and small tablet. These are optional but I would advise getting them as they are very informative.As you enter different rooms / outside around the house you choose what section to listen to. They are numbered in each room so you won’t get lost / confused.Sections are very informative and have videos to watch too.Very beautiful building with exquisite rooms. It’s a brilliant experience visiting here.I spent just over an hour here. You could spend longer quite easily.It’s very easy to find.

Great Royal palace with so much to see inside & out. Allow at least 2 hours of walking / touring with your audio guide which is loaned when you purchase the entrance ticket. The Abbey at the side of the palace adds great historical perspective and is a must see too.

A great spot to visit to get a dash of Scottish history at this royal residence, like Mary Queen of Scots bedroom. Visited during the weekday and it wasn't too crowded, and is very walkable from the restaurants and shops along the royal mile.

The tickets were included in the royal package of Edinburgh bus tours, we arrived there and they gave us an audio tour guide with headphones, which was very informative and educational. The whole tour took us 3 hours, the palace was marvelous and the garden was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Shout out to Anne (the gift shop keeper) extremely nice and we enjoyed an uplifting conversation with her.
