Merece la pena conocer el Palacio, es muy fácil de visitar con la audioguía. Lo que no entendí, es que teniendo un bono sacado con antelación y ya pagado desde España, nos hicieran hacer cola para darnos las entradas, no nos valió para entrar directamente, y nos hicieron esperar como a los que no llevaban reserva.

The Palace is worth knowing, it is very easy to visit with the audio guide. What I did not understand is that having a voucher obtained in advance and already paid from Spain, they made us wait in line to give us the tickets, it was not enough for us to enter directly, and they made us wait like those who did not have a reservation.

Il Palazzo merita sicuramente di essere visitato, perfetta l'organizzazione in entrata per la conferma della prenotazione che bisogna portare stampato ed il rilascio del biglietto... Che resta utilizzabile per ancora un anno se lo ai firma e si vidima in biglietteria a fine visita. Spettacolare la manutenzione degli spazi verdi. Translate this opinion into English.

The Palace certainly deserves to be visited, perfect organization at the entrance to confirm the reservation, which must be printed and the ticket issued ... which remains usable for another year if you sign it and endorse it at the ticket office at the end of the visit. . Spectacular maintenance of green spaces. Opinion translated. Show original.

El servicio fácil y rápido. Pero para mí asombro, cuando estoy caminando hacia la actividad (en Edimburgo) me doy cuenta que dice los tickets descargados no son válidos y que hay que IMPRIMIRLOS EN PAPEL. Tuve que volver al hotel pero pude haberme encontrado con no tener dónde imprimirlos. Es absurdo que, cuando todo se puede hacer con el móvil, te exijan imprimirlo. Además de gastar papel. Incomprensible. De haberlo sabido no hubiera comprado las entradas por este sistema.

La experiencia muy buena, todos muy atentos a cada situación de los visitantes Lo único mal es que hice una consulta por correo y nadie contestó antes de ir al Palacio . Me envían después un correo que señala que no está funcionando el correo . Actualizarlo Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was very good, everyone was very attentive to every situation the visitors were in. The only bad thing was that I made an inquiry by email and no one answered before going to the Palace. They later sent me an email stating that the email wasn't working. Update this.

Fue genial, el palacio es precio. Es muy recomendable realizar esta excursión. El audio guía es muy completo. Lo único malo es que tienes que llevar el bono impreso y en nuestro caso cogimos las entradas desde Edimburgo y se nos hizo bastante complicado encontrar un sitio donde imprimir el papel. En los tiempos en los que estamos deberían de suprimir el papel y permitir aceptar el bono en el móvil Translate this opinion into English.

It was great, the palace is pricey. I highly recommend this tour. The audio guide is very comprehensive. The only downside is that you have to bring a printed voucher, and in our case, we bought tickets from Edinburgh and found it quite difficult to find a place to print the paper one. These days, they should do away with paper vouchers and allow mobile vouchers to be accepted. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un recorrido largo, desde todavía la Old Town hasta Stockbridge, pasando por Princess Gardens y Dean Village. Encantador.

Il tour con audio guida è stato molto interessante. Oltre alle sale del palazzo sono stati spiegati una serie di aneddoti legati alla storia della famiglia reale che hanno permesso di apprezzare ancora di più la visita. Sarebbe stato bello poter vedere anche le stanze che ancora oggi accolgono i reali in visita in Scozia. Translate this opinion into English.

The audio tour was very interesting. In addition to the rooms of the palace, a series of anecdotes related to the history of the royal family were explained, which allowed us to appreciate the visit even more. It would have been nice to see the rooms that still welcome the royals visiting Scotland. Opinion translated. Show original.

Arrivati a palazzo si va alla biglietteria nella coda dedicata a chi ha la prenotazione. Ti vengono rilasciati i biglietti con cui si accede subito all'ingresso dove ti viene data compresa nel prezzo l'audioguida tra cui puoi scegliere varie lingue tra cui l'italiano. La guida è ben fatta, interessante, per nulla noiosa che oltre a spiegare le parti del palazzo e giardini, racconta la storia dei personaggi che hanno abitato e come viene vissuto attualmente. Consigliato. Translate this opinion into English.

Once you arrive at the palace, you go to the ticket office in the queue dedicated to those who have a reservation. You are given tickets with which you can immediately access the entrance where you are given an audio guide included in the price from which you can choose various languages including Italian. The guide is well done, interesting, not at all boring that in addition to explaining the parts of the palace and gardens, tells the story of the people who lived there and how it is lived currently.

Sin duda, mi visita favorita en Edimburgo. Es verdad que es un poco caro, pero merece la pena. La audioguía está muy bien estructurada y mientras recorres las distintas salas te transporta a otra época. Especialmente interesante la historia que tiene María Estuardo con el palacio, sobre todo si has visto la película. Translate this opinion into English.

Without a doubt, this is my favourite visit in Edinburgh. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. The audio guide is very well structured and as you walk through the different rooms it transports you to another era. The history of Mary Stuart with the palace is particularly interesting, especially if you've seen the film. Opinion translated. Show original.

Le palais est super, dommage que les ruines de l abbaye sont en travaux. Le seul point négatif est qu il faut imprimer les billets. Il faut donc trouver une imprimerie sur place, cela rajoute des frais inutiles sans compter les déchets inutiles de papier alors qu on pourrait faire scanner un QR code. L activité est géniale, mais le mode de fonctionnement est nul Translate this opinion into English.

The palace is great, too bad the ruins of the abbey are under construction. The only negative point is that you have to print the tickets. You therefore have to find a printing shop on site, this adds unnecessary costs not to mention unnecessary waste of paper when you could have a QR code scanned. The activity is great, but the way it works sucks Opinion translated. Show original.

Deberían convencer a los responsables del Ticket Office del Palacio de Holyrood de no tener que llevar impreso en papel el voucher. Debería servir llevarlo descargado en el móvil y mostrárselo de esa forma al cangearlo por las entradas. Tengan en cuenta que es un trastorno y una pérdida de tiempo para un turista, buscar una copistería en Edinburgo donde puedan imprimirte este voucher. Translate this opinion into English.

They should convince those responsible for the Ticket Office at Holyrood Palace not to have to have the voucher printed on paper. It should be useful to have it downloaded on your mobile and show it that way when exchanging it for tickets. Keep in mind that it is a hassle and a waste of time for a tourist to look for a copy shop in Edinburgh where they can print this voucher for you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Le palais est très bien. Le billet était facile à prendre. J'ai cependant été très déçu d'apprendre qu'on pouvait le transformer en pass pour une année, ce qui m'aurait permis de retourner au palais gratuitement, et de ne pas avoir été mis au courant par le site. Translate this opinion into English.

The palace is very good. The ticket was easy to get. However, I was very disappointed to learn that it could be transformed into a pass for a year, which would have allowed me to return to the palace for free, and not to have been informed by the site. Opinion translated. Show original.

Très joli palais en bon état (normal, la reine Elisabeth II y venait régulièrement pour ses vacances ou pour des repas officiels) avec de beaux et grands jardins. Ce qui a rendu excellente notre visite a été l'audio-guide, qui est couplé à une mini-tablette : des commentaires de 2-3 minutes max pour chaque pièce, quelques petits animations ludiques. Donc, même les enfants, qui râlent en général quand on visite ce genre d'endroit, ont apprécié. Translate this opinion into English.

Very pretty palace in good condition (normal, Queen Elisabeth II used to come here regularly for her holidays or for official meals) with beautiful and large gardens. What made our visit excellent was the audio-guide, which is coupled with a mini-tablet: comments of 2-3 minutes max for each room, some small fun animations. So even the kids, who usually complain when you visit this kind of place, enjoyed it. Opinion translated. Show original.

El palacio tiene una ruta guiada que no permite salir ni desvírate del camino, salón tras salón con la ayuda de la audio guía vas conociendo la historia de cada una de las estancias del palacio. Sinceramente no deja de ser un palacio más pero no es tan asombroso como dicen, la experiencia fue algo corta, pero eso tienen este tipo de actividades. Vale la pena, pero no esperes encontrar algo que te deje sin aliento. Ojo: no permiten fotos en el interior. Translate this opinion into English.

The palace has a guided route that does not allow you to leave or stray from the path, room after room with the help of the audio guide you learn the history of each of the rooms of the palace. Honestly, it is still just another palace but it is not as amazing as they say, the experience was somewhat short, but that is what these types of activities have. It's worth it, but don't expect to find something that will take your breath away. Note: they do not allow photos inside. Opinion translated. Show original.

Palacio de Holyrood, Edimburgo. Bien pero, tener que imprimir la entrada, me parece mal. ¿Dónde encuentras el sitio en una ciudad que no conoces bien? ¿Y si Dónde hay un local está muy lejos de te alojas?. Me parece que con la entrada en el móvil sería suficiente.

Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh. Good, but having to print the ticket seems wrong to me. Where do you find the site in a city you don't know well? What if Where there is a local is very far from where you are staying? It seems to me that with the entry on the mobile it would be enough.

Fue genial. Al llegar allí nos indicaron que debíamos cambiar los tickets impresos por las entradas. Nos dieron una audio guía que nos iba explicando en todo momento. El palacio, muy hermoso. Lo malo fue que la Abadía estaba en reparación y no pudimos verla desde dentro, pero igualmente es espectacular. Translate this opinion into English.

It was great. When we got there they told us that we had to change the printed tickets for the tickets. They gave us an audio guide that was explaining us at all times. The palace, very beautiful.

Visitar el Palacio de Holyroodhouse ha sido una experiencia inolvidable; rodeado de un paisaje de ensueño con Arthur's Seat coronando las vistas, solo la entrada al palacio ya aventura que comprar las entradas ha sido un acierto. La actividad está súper bien organizada con una audioguía fascinante que realmente te adentra en la vida rutinaria de sus huéspedes, en su historia y en sus misterios. El resto es mejor que lo descubráis vosotros mismos, no quedaréis defraudados. Translate this opinion into English.

The rest is better that you discover it yourselves, you will not be disappointed. Opinion translated. Show original.

Necesitan la entrada impresa. Es cierto que se ofrecieron muy amablemente a traernosla. Pero estaría bien indicarlo para futuros visitantes. Que se puede imprimir el ticket en el edificio que hay al entrar. El proveedor nos indico que no podíamos cambiar la hora de la entrada el mismo día. Pero una vez llegamos al palacio no pudieron ningún problema.

They need the printed ticket. It is true that they very kindly offered to bring it to us. But it would be nice to indicate it for future visitors. That you can print the ticket in the building when you enter. The provider told us that we could not change the time of entry on the same day. But once we got to the palace they couldn't have any problem.

La visite du palais avec l'audio-guide est très intéressante. Les jardins n'étaient pas accessibles et cela ne nous a pas été indiqué spontanément. A la sortie, une personne de staff nous a précisé que si nous revenions le mois suivant, le même billet d'entrée nous permettrait de voir les jardins. Translate this opinion into English.
