We had a great relaxing tour. Bike riding in Bushy Park and along the Thames was very nice. Not your ‘typical tour’ Our guide really knew her history!

The company that ran the Hampton Court Palace Tour was really accommodating, especially as I had to reschedule. Their communication was excellent. The tour itself is something I would recommend to friends. I did it with my daughters who are 13 and 12. They were unsure to start with but loved it. The guide was approachable and gave a really interesting commentary - not ladden with dates but with parts of history that I think my girls will actually remember. Thank you so much - sorry I can't post the photos but again the guide took the time to take photos of us which we appreciated.
