Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Bezoek het voormalige koninklijke jacht van de Britse monarchie, nu gelegen in Leith. Ze was in dienst van 1954 tot 1997
Uw Edinburgh Shore Excursion reist vervolgens naar het Palace of Holyroodhouse, de officiële residentie van de Britse koninklijke familie in Schotland, voor een fotostop. Dit barokke paleis zit vol met geschiedenis en is misschien het best bekend als het huis van Mary, Queen of Scots, en was het decor voor vele dramatische episodes tijdens haar korte en turbulente regeerperiode.
We reizen naar de Royal Mile om het historische Edinburgh Castle te bezoeken, het meest iconische kasteel van Schotland en in 2014 uitgeroepen tot de beste erfgoedattractie van het VK. Breng tijd door met het verkennen van het kasteel, leer alles over de geschiedenis en zie zelfs de beroemde Stone of Destiny; de traditionele kroonzetel van de oude Schotse monarchen.

The Royal Brittannia was really interesting. Edinburgh Castle was interesting but very spread out. Lots of walking. Not like most castles where you go into one building. Gregor and Neil were very pleasant and we had a wonderful tour!
Because this stop was tendered and the boats were running late we lost time at the Britannia and did not get to see the entire ship. Same held true for Edinburgh castle. Pretty rushed, only got to see the highlighted areas. However our guide Gregor was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable in Scottish and English history. He had a wonderful personality and you could tell he loved his job and was very excited to show off Edinburgh.
The sites we visited were great. Royal Ship Brittania so interesting and Edinburgh Castle the most impressive castle we saw on our cruise through Ireland and Scotland. However, felt more like a transport service than a tour. Robert was very friendly, but not much information provided between stops. Maybe at least explain the history of Edinburgh, population, etc. Also, some confusion at Brittania as everyone who had purchased tickets ahead of time not allowed in until guide showed up, which was surprise to all including Guide. Would recommend with some improvements.
Boosting the Royal Yacht was nice. The tickets we bought to the Yacht from Tumberbush tours would not work at the entry but the tour guide got it straightened out. This happened on a different tour as well from Timberbush tours and it took that guide several minutes to get it straightened out. So Timberbush needs to work on that part, but at least the guide was there to show that we had in fact paid the entry. The price of the tour didn't include the entry tickets, so they had to be purchased after the tour was booked. Other than that, the tour went well and the guide did areally good job.
Ticket needed for Yacht and for the Castle. We chose not to do either. Had to waste time in the mall where ship is docked. Wasted our time.
Dear Sherry, We appreciate your time in leaving a review. Entrance fees to attractions are not included in the tour price, as these are optional extras, which some guests may or may not want to participate in on the day, as stated in the advertised. We understand that not every passenger wants to do the attractions, so we like to give them options to explore the area if they wish to not partake in these optional extras. We hope that despite these issues, we you were still able to enjoy your experience in the Scottish Highlands! Kind regards, Fatima
Really enjoyed our experience overall. Comfy bus. Free time at Edinburgh and Castle was good but Britanica visit was too short. All places worth a visit. Back in plenty of time for our ship.
Hi there, Thanks for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your excursion went well, and that you were able to experience some fantastic spots in the Scottish Highlands during your cruise! We hope we can welcome you back to Scotland soon! Kind regards, Fatima
It is difficult to get through the yacht in the time allowed. The castle was interesting. Our driver/guide, Connor, was very entertaining and informative. He gets 5 stars..

Not enough time to tour the Brittania and fee was not included, Castle was also inferred but not incl. Tour was misleading

This gives passengers the opportunity to either explore the area or take their time exploring the area. We hope that despite these concerns, you were still able to enjoy the beauty of Scotland and get a feel of the country! Kind regards, Christie
More info on the time. We lacked the ability to utilize more time due to political rallies, street closings, etc.
