Product Info

Meet your guide and walk to Edinburgh Castle, which dominates the city skyline from its seat atop the extinct volcano of Castle Rock. Stroll along the castle's promenade and hear about its origins and the many sieges it has endured. You'll also see the site where the Royal Military Tattoo is performed.

Once inside the castle walls, your guide will lead you through the various parts of the fortress and share its fascinating history. Within the complex, you’ll find three museums, two prisons, a canine cemetery, the Chapel of Saint Margaret, the National Monument to Scotland’s fallen, the Great Hall, and a Royal Palace.

Be captivated by the grandeur of the Great Hall and the Royal Palace. After the guided tour, you’ll have time to explore the rest of the buildings at your own pace.

Then, return to the meeting point, where a member of our staff will escort you to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. Discover the Palace’s close associations with some of Scotland’s most iconic historical figures, such as Mary, Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and learn how it is used today by the King for official engagements in Scotland.
