Emma welcomed us to London and helped to orient our family through the British Afternoon Tea Etiquette Course.

Emma is a delightful host. She helped us all to feel at ease and engaged our two teenage daughters as well as my husband and me.

We had a wonderful and tasty time while learning very interesting facts and traditions. Highly recommended. Thank you, Emma!
