1.Edinburgh Shore Excursion: City Tour and Royal Yacht Britannia

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 41 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $92Our pick

Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyroodhouse and Edinburgh Castle in one cruise day with pickup, narration, and separate ticket add-ons.

“A great day with our guide and driver Graeme who was brilliant. After visiting the Royal Yacht (a fascinating audio guided tour) we headed to the castle and Royal Mile. The castle was fully booked so we walked down the Royal Mile, grabbed lunch in Deacon Brodie's Tavern and looked in St Giles Cathedral which was superb. We were then picked up at the castle and treated to a further tour round the centre of Edinburgh by Graeme before being dropped back to catch the shuttle back to the ship. We can thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone.”
