The tour of the palace was very interesting and staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a problem getting to venue for our stated ticket time but staff were happy to allow us to arrive later. (Not sure if this would apply in peak tourist times if the tours were fully booked, we went in February)

I was surprised to see the simplicity compared to other places we visited. The area for Diana’s memorial seem to be lacking. I feel it could have been better for her memory. It was fun to see where Kings and Queens have previously lived. The history is very interesting.

The tour was nicely organized in three parts each 10-12 minute long, it is easier to follow the guides this way rather than having a longer tour around the entire exhibition. A lot of interesting historical information was provided. And the exhibition was not too big, which allowed us to explore everything in detail.
