So much history in this beautiful palace! Our guide, Suzanne, was great - really informative and fun! She brought the place to life and showed us some awesome filming spots from Bridgerton. We loved the delicious English tea at the end too!
Geraint was a fantastic guide, he answered all our questions with great knowledge and escorted us for our tea which capped off the day perfectly
Our guide, Theresa, was very knowledgeable and charming. She brought alive the historic Palace and the Bridgerton connection. It made the history so much more real and enjoyable. Definitely worth the trip.
