Hello,
My husband and I will be heading off to Scotland later this week to join the Rick Steves Heart of Scotland tour on Sunday in Inverness. I see from our trip itinerary that on the last day of the tour we will be going to Holyroodhouse Palace. Will we be touring the palace or just visiting the outside. If we are touring inside, will we be able to take time to see the Royal Portrait exhibit there during our tour or have the ability to stay on afterwards and take it in, if not?
Holyrood is on the included list, so yes, you'll tour the interior. The rest of the day is free, so you can stay as long as you want.
Thank you for clarifying that! Sometimes it's hard to tell from the itinerary exactly what is included.
You will also walk the distance to Holyroodhouse with the tour guide pointing out some hidden gardens, alleys and interesting shops. There is a very large museum near Holyrood that is worth visiting. Hope you have Helen or Claudia as your guides on your tour! (We went last year.
