Our tour through the gardens was enjoyable even with the sweltering sun. Our tour guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable and had the best dry wit about him. The jokes were flowing as rapidly as the sweat rolling off of us! High tea in The Orangery was amazing. The palace tour was as good as it could be, again, because of the unbearable heat. Thank goodness they had portable air conditioners stationed throughout. Despite the heat we would definitely recommend this experience!
