5.00Heard about this tour on YouTube “Palace Confidential” and it did not disappoint! Just seeing the yard surrounded by staff housing was interesting, but then you get to see and learn about the various carriages, cars, and horses used by the royal family. The tour ends with the fabulous gold carriage used specifically for coronations. We thoroughly enjoyed this hidden gem of a tour!
Looking at History!

5.00Fascinating to see inside the palace! Wish the instructions on how to retrieve the tickets had been a little clearer. If you’re looking at the palace, you go around the corner to the left and down the sidewalk.
