From the King’s official residence in Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, to the towering Edinburgh Castle that dominates the Edinburgh skyline, you’ll soon get acquainted with the charming city on this tour. You’ll cruise down Royal Mile, one of the busiest streets in Edinburgh’s historic old town, and past the famed Greyfriars Bobby monument.
