This was a very wonderful tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and cheerful! The palaces were even more amazing than I expected! The only negative was that we were not dropped off at our pick up spot, which was promised on our tickets.

I have wanted to see Hampton Court Palace for years so this was a fantastic day for me. Our tour guide, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and the bus driver was impressive maneuvering through the London traffic. Windsor was beautiful. Would recommend this tour!
