Julie provided a Wonderful tour and overview of Hampton Court Palace. We appreciated the personal family stories connected to the Palace, Tudor architectural history, and specific items to focus on (such as the small private room where there is a Henry VIII original portrait and Tudor ceiling).

Geraint did a wonderful tour that was fun and easy to follow. Hit on the major areas of the palace and answered all my questions. The history, paintings, and gardens were amazing to see in person. Take pictures, but it won't do it justice.
