Overview

The tour was a Survey Course in History from 1066 to present day, done in a way that was respectful and also interesting. Our guide's manner was serious and was interspersed with anecdotes about the family life of the Kings and Queens on display. It was very evident that our guide had spent two years preparing for his job.
