A unique services tour of the Buckingham Palace. The self-guided narrated your allowed a leisurely pace. Part of the tour was narrated by the royals. Description should include that tea is at a nearby hotel, not at the palace. But it's still a once in a lifetime experience.
An awesome tour of the Palace followed by afternoon tea. A memorable experience. Our tour guide, Jennifer was lovely and provided wonderful insight and backstories.
Amber is a well informed guide who provided much insight into the palace and the various sites along the road to the palace. She is high energy and really works to draw out the visitors and make sure they are informed. and their needs are being met. This continued to the grounds of the palace and negotiating the entry lines. The palace is a remarkable tour and not o be missed, as it has only limited available time. Amber took time to take photographs of each party at the entrance to the palace and again at tea. Amber gave us adequate time to tour the palace and did a fantastic job of meeting up with the guests after the interior tour. The walk to the. hotel for tea was longer than expected. Amber informed us of this and the option of using a London cab was available. At the tea we were treated royally as Amber continued explaining the history of England's afternoon tea. Overall, a tour I would gladly do again, as there is so much to see at the palace. I would request Amber again as a tour guide for any attraction. She brings an energy and knowledge that is most appreciated.
Great tour
Great tour. Really worth doing and you go at your own pace once inside the Palace.
Great tour that was well worth the price. I was so lucky to have arranged tour for the date that I did, not even knowing that it was the last day of the 8 weeks of the year that it was open!!! Enjoyed seeing some of the gifts that other heads of states and dignitaries have given the Queen. Was a tour I will never forget!!! And the high tea afterwards was also great fun sat with a couple from Scotland and another couple from England, so enjoyed having tea with locals! The hotel is beautiful and made it a great experience. Wonderful tour and tea...I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!
