8 hours

Moderate

Enjoy a private guided Edinburgh shore excursion with a drive by the Royal Yacht Britannia, a visit to Edinburgh Castle (optional), the Palace of Holyrood House, and a walk along the Royal Mile. Includes commentary, photo stops, and time for refreshments.

The visiting schedule may vary depending on the Edinburgh port where your ship docks; however, all key aspects of the tour are included regardless of the docking or tendering port. 

After meeting your official driver guide, board an air-conditioned coach and begin with a Drive-By visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia ( Drive-By). Continue to Edinburgh Castle for stunning views and history (entry optional).  Next, visit the Palace of Holyrood House and enjoy a guided stroll along the iconic Royal Mile, passing St Giles Cathedral, the Scottish Parliament, and historic alleys. Time is included for refreshments and photos.  Your guide will provide commentary throughout. Ample breaks are included, and if the ship’s time in port is shortened, visits will be adjusted to ensure on-time return—typically one hour before sailing.
