Great experience at Hampton Court - Theresa was our guide and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. My mother and I along with another family toured Hampton Court with Theresa. She was very knowledgeable, entertaining with side stories and showed us a great deal. After we headed across the street for high tea. The only issue was when I booked there were no questions regarding food allergies and frankly I forgot to reach out and notify them. When we arrived they were not prepared for gf. However they were extremely accommodating and allowed me to order off the menu. I recommend this tour.

Hampton Court was Great! - Theresa did a wonderful job taking the time to answer all of our questions and showed the depth of her knowledge. Her education around history truly enhanced the experience. The Palace was expansive and really brought several time periods to life, based on the historical figures that lived there. The afternoon tea experience at The Mitre was a great way to refresh and cap of the tour.

Fascinating history and lovely high tea! - We learned a lot about the monarchs that lived in these castles, including their lifestyles and life stories. Our guide was great at listening to our questions and interests. This castle would have been overwhelming without his helpful explanations and his-story telling. The high tea restaurant was so charming and the food was delicious.

Theresa’s Family tour at Hampton Court Palace - Theresa was our tour guide, she was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating since we had a 12 year old with us. My wife is a history buff and had lots of questions about the Hampton palace. She enjoyed the side conversations with Theresa throughout the tour. The tea time after the tour was delicious.

Great afternoon in Hampton Court - Tom was a great guide and you can really tell how passionate he is about the history, especially around Henry VII. It was so nice to have a knowledgeable person take us around the palace instead of having another headset guide. We enjoyed everything we saw and learned so much. The tea across the way was absolutely lovely. Everything was delicious and we had a nice table with a view of the river. The staff at the restaurant were great too.
