The 45 minute stop on the return trip is too rushed to be of any value. The stop needs to be rethought! Other thoughts would be to add the time to the amount of time at the Palace. Much more that visitors could be told about what to expect at the Palace and the options for parts to visit. There is much more that the guide could have prepared us to consider ahead of arriving at the Palace. There is much more that Viator could have itself prepared us as visitors to expect.

Not a tour, but an interactive quiz

We mistakenly booked this experience thinking it was an alternative to the "Archie" audio tour. Instead, it is an interactive app to quiz you on what you discovered on your own self-guided tours throughout Blenheim Palace. While this may not be a good fit for someone seeking a guided audio tour, it is a fun and interactive tool. We reached out to the tour operator and a received prompt response.
