Best Possible Guide, Tour and Tea!

5.00We travel a great deal, usually Europe and North America, and this was one of the best tours we’ve ever experienced. Suzanne is an exceptional guide, full of knowledge, fun facts, and lots of gossip about the kings, queens, and others who inhabited Hampton Court Palace. She deserves 6 out of 5! The High Tea was also wonderful, with a seat by the river, a beautiful day, perfectly brewed tea, and excellent scones, finger sandwiches, and petit fours on offer. Truly a magical day! We just wish it could have been longer!
Great Palace and Excellent Tourguide

5.00Hampton Court is a very interesting place and much more intimate as compared to Windsor Castle or Buckingham Place. That is, you saw much more of the inner workings of the place. The gour guide, Julie, was very knowledgeable and professional and gave us a great tour.

5.00Our guide was excellent. She was a local to the area and brought a lot of interesting background and info to the tour that we would not normally have heard. We learned a lot and saw a lot and I would recommend the tour, and our guide.

5.00Massive estate and gardens, dress comfortably with walking shoes. Tom, our guide, was fantastic: he made history come to life and was open to all sorts of questions. Truly enjoyed the high tea - perfect way to end the tour. One recommendation: The meeting pace is hectic and super crowded. Tom would have been easier to find with an identifying cap or flag.
