Sophie was our guide and she was excellent and the tour was fantastic. Sophie lead us from Buckingham Palace through Hyde Park and to Kensington Palace. She knew the best placers to get a good picture view, had fast knowledge on the subjects around her as she guided us on a 3 1/2 hour tour to Kensington Palace where we had our Afternoon Tea. She left us when we started our Kensington Palace tour. She did a wonderful job. I highly recommend Sophie

Great tour! My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour wasnt rushed- we had plenty of time to walk through the park (saw the rose garden, princes Diana Memorial Fountain, etc.). Afternoon tea at the Orangery was delicious! The palace was beautiful.
