Great tour and Sharan was very knowledgeable. We got to see the king and his motorcade leave Clarence House. It was a lot of walking today but it was well worth it.

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
