5.00I had visited the sights before but with Tom’s private guidance I found out so much more and learnt much of a wide variety of subjects. He was very sympathetic and clear with all the vast knowledge and could tailor a lot of things to my background and interests.
Wonderful tour!

5.00Tom was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable and charming and answered all of our questions. Walking through the palace was so much more meaningful than listening to an audio tape. We highly recommend this to anyone who wants an in-depth tour of an amazing palace.
Great Guide
