The King and Queen will arrive to take up their summer residence after the tour dates conclude.
It marks the second consecutive year that King Charles has opened up Balmoral to the public.
Visitors were previously only been able to visit the ballroom and the grounds of the castle, which was completed in 1855 and bought by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Booking, which opened on Tuesday, are “limited” and in “high demand”, according to the property’s Instagram page.
Balmoral Palace’s official Instagram page posted a short video titled “The Highland Home Of The Royal Family” with several aerial shots of the royal grounds.
The caption read: “Visitors will have the chance to discover the exciting changes HM The King has made to the gardens, including the Thistle maze, the Celtic maze garden, and new plantings of trees, shrubs, and topiary.”
“In 2025, the exhibition in the ballroom will continue the garden theme, showcasing the history of Balmoral Castle’s gardens over the past 170 years and offering a glimpse into HM King Charles III’s vision for the future.
“Whether you’re here to explore the gardens, admire the grandeur of the castle, or simply immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the estate, Balmoral offers a timeless experience like no other.”

The Royal Collection Trust is moving towards opening up more access to the royal grounds, which aligns with the King’s vision of giving people greater access to royal Palace’s all year round.
The interior castle tour tickets cost £110 per person, and for £170 per person, guests can experience afternoon tea with savoury and sweet treats, including Balmoral Estate venison sausage rolls, Cucumber, cream cheese and black truffle sandwiches, passion fruit bavarois and chocolate salted caramel canelé.
Tickets for the tour, which sold out within 24 hours last year, are on sale now and include general admission, afternoon tea, and expedition tours.
The King has also allowed guests visiting Buckingham Palace to walk through the front gate across the famous forecourt.
