My husband, teenage daughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Hampton Court with Theresa. As a former teacher, Theresa made it fun and interesting for our daughter and did a great job of making the educational elements engaging for all three of us. The tour ended with tea in a beautiful setting on the river.
