the maze is so disappointing!!!! it is so thin and bare. you known what direction to go on in advance. But the house itself It's worth every penny. buy a decent map or you miss things. Allow plenty of time, its certainly not a whistle stop tour.
If you have a chance you should GOOOOO. One of the most amazing tours we did in London- and we did A LOT of tours. One of the most amazing palaces, and if you are obsessed with the Tudors this tour is a MUST.
Thank you for your review
