Sheila was so knowledgeable, our tour was informative and tailored to our interests and favourite historical periods. Sheila was more than happy to answer any questions we had too. This was a great experience which we would highly recommend to all history fans!

NB I am evaluating the private guided tour I booked - not the company VIATOR. Sheila Dunsmore is an exceptionally knowledgeable person. She provided us with a wealth of historical information and also introduced some anecdotal material into her tour, even slipping easily into some rhyming verse as she conjured up a ghostly atmosphere in one of her tales. The tour was extensive and took into account our specific interests in the Tudors. We felt privileged to be able to gain some special insights into the architecturs, and the personal stories of the residents, of Hampton Court Palace through the ages. Sheila's lively and entusiastic presentataion were totally engaging.

Sheila was a wonderful and well informed guide. My mother has some mobility challenges and she was so flexible and helpful as we secured a wheelchair and was even able to find the best path through the castle when pushing the chair. She knew so much about the history, the castle, the monarchy and the region…..highly recommend Sheila!
