We visited Hampton Court Palace together with the great tour guide Denis Khoroshko, and it was an amazing experience! Everything was perfectly organized, very interesting, and enjoyable. Denis shared so many fascinating stories and made the whole tour special for us. My mom loved it too! Highly recommend Denis Khoroshko if you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional guide in London.
Simon was a knowledgable tour guide. We wished we would have planned more time in the tour. Simon and our son were disappointed we could not visit the chapel due to another event. (There should be a way to view the chapel without disturbing an event.) The chapel was a priority "to see" on our visit.
