Doug was a great guide! Great personality and very informative. Our family enjoyed the garden tour and the tea party experience. We highly recommend this tour!
Our tour through the gardens was enjoyable even with the sweltering sun. Our tour guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable and had the best dry wit about him. The jokes were flowing as rapidly as the sweat rolling off of us! High tea in The Orangery was amazing. The palace tour was as good as it could be, again, because of the unbearable heat. Thank goodness they had portable air conditioners stationed throughout. Despite the heat we would definitely recommend this experience!
Great walking tour. Our guide, Paul, was amazing. Loved all the historical stories/facts. Started on time, easy meeting location.
Garden tour was lovely, highly recommend. Do not recommend the tea for singles unless you want to do it alone - I booked this to be with a group and was isolated at the other end of the dining room by myself, and ignored by wait staff initially until I said something.
Very educational and fun! The Orangery was amazing as well.
