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

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

Review of Edinburgh’s 7.5-hour shore excursion, Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh Castle, city sights, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Beware if you have mobility issues. They say the site are flat surfaces, but what they don’t tell you is that they park the tour bus a lengthy distance from the castle and you are expected to walk to the castle. My partner couldn’t manage it and so we missed out Even though we paid for it.”

2.Edinburgh Shore Excursion: City Tour & Royal Yacht Britannia

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 12 reviews · 8 hours · from $92

Explore Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Holyroodhouse, and Royal Yacht Britannia on an 8-hour cruise port tour.

“It was a good day in Edinburgh. The Royal Yacht, Britannia was a highlight, but there was not enough time to complete the tour. Free-time on the Royal Mile was good, because the Fringe Festival was beginning and we saw several interesting acts. We could not access Edinburgh Castle because of waiting times, etc. The rest of the tour was by bus in mostly heavy traffic. But we did get a taste of the city.”
