Our tour guide “Beefeater Barney” was funny and full of very interesting historical highlights! Highly recommend and it’s true that while the tour itself is only an hour, you need an entire day to see all there is to see!

Ellen was lovely and gave a lot of history on the walk to the palace about historical and current Royals. The state rooms are fantastic and you go round those with an audio guide so can take as much time as you want. Overall the walking tour was about 35mins and then we took two hours in the place but that included a stop at the cafe and gardens.
