Truly great tour. Focused on the historical sites yet efficient and very interesting. Sophie is a great guide and added colorful stories about the royal family internal affairs that placed the sites in a broader context.
Most informative, our guide Mathew had wonderful family stories that helped us get a feel for the culture. Also a really funny guy. Well presented tour, succinct as well as informative. Highly recommended!!
this tour with Phillip was an excellent day. great sites, plenty to see, and just the right pace. our guide, Phillip, was excellent, keeping us engaged, but not over doing it. his english is very good, no trouble understanding him. I’d recommend this tour to anyone
