Joy
“As a solo traveller, it was great not just to chat to our Tour Guide and learn about the city, but to meet others on the tour then have lunch together made my day, and my trip, so much more fun!”
Aisha
“We had such an insightful guide on a brilliant route. It was nice to have coffee together too, and the cakes were really good! It was just the right length and meant we could fit in another plan that day.”
Philip
“Quality tour. The park is beautiful and our English tour guide was good. The whole of British social and royal history has been reflected in this park. Palaces, secret gardens, and quirky corners, highly recommend.”
