Excellent Tour with the Wonderful Sue! - This tour had it all! Under the expert guidance of Sue, we managed to get a fantastic view of the guard’s change. Her information truly brought the experience to life. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the parks, and Sue was wonderful in trying to find pockets of shade for us on this sunny day. This provided lovely time to bond with the other guests as well. When we arrived to the Orangery we were all good friends and the afternoon tea was delicious in a gorgeous setting. I also loved getting to go inside Kensington Palace afterwards. A day very well spent!

Unfortunate - Unfortunately we went to the published starting point and this was incorrect hence we did not make our scheduled tour. Most regrettable to say the least. I would like my money returned. Tour operator did not connect w us before the tour to inform us.
