All was fine. The tour of the house was very good. The guide was lively and enthusiastic, and looked after the group well. We would have appreciated a minute or two at the end to give a few pointers as what was best to see in the gardens following the tour, e.g. where to pick up the tourist train or the buggies for hire. Also I felt it would have been nice to have stopped for some minutes outside on entering the gates, to savour the magnificence, as the palace is such an iconic building.

Laura was an exceptional guide. The Palace was incredibly busy - due to the King's visit the following day - but she managed the group really well; keeping us entertained during waiting time and navigating us to the best spots in each room. My only caveat regarding value for money is that the time inside the rooms is much shorter than expected - but that is not the fault of GYG.

We enjoyed our tour, it was a small group tour and our guide was excellent explaining the history of the palace and the state apartments that we visited . we did stay on in the place and explored the downstairs rooms before exiting to the gardens ( we purchased the add on tickets to the garden ) and note these gardens are very large .
