Wonderful experience and a walk back through time - We had a wonderful tour of this castle. We were running late and the guide was so patient and accommodating with our schedule change. We learned so much and wish we could have heard all the entertaining, fun facts, and ghost stories for more hours that day.

Jo was an animated... - Jo was an animated storyteller who demonstrated great passion and excitement for her subject. On. Very cold morning, she demonstrated patience with grumpy teenagers while their mother soaked up the fascinating stories of the Tudors. I’ve been to the palace before on a self-guided tour, but never would have known all of the hidden secrets without this tour. Highly recommend!

Hampton Court Palace - What an amazing experience to have our guide Jo meet us at the front gates and take us round the areas and explain what happened where in such detail. Her knowledge of the people and the history was incredible.
