We had an excellent guide in Suzanna on the 11th October. She was very knowledgable about Hampton Court Palace and her enthusiasm and love for her subject shone through and was infectious. She was able to answer all our questions in depth and took great care to explain the many aspects of the palace. The duration of the quided tour was just about right as by then we were ready for our delicious afternoon tea. All in all it was a lovely experience. Thank you.
Great presentation
