Overview

4 hours 30 minutes

Mobile ticket

Explore this remarkable and unique double palace, where the ages overlap and the course of history changed forever, where Wolsey, the 'Second King' of England reined, only to watch all power slip away. Climb the steps to wonder at the greatest medieval hall in England. Stand in Henry’s 'Great Watching Chamber' where nobles vied for the Kings attention and his wife was declared an adulterer. Walk the halls through which, some say, her ghost still runs, crying out for the forgiveness & mercy that was never to come.

Step through a time portal at the end of the Haunted Gallery into the Baroque Palace, William lll's and the Glorious Revolution’s answer to Versailles and the guillotine.

Explore the gardens and the maze, the most famous in the land. See the first tennis court in England, much beloved sport of Henry 8th before a leisurely drive back to your hotel.

What To Expect

Hampton Court Palace

I love discussing England past & present with my guests while we journey to Hampton Court in my Mercedes. We can talk about the Palace itself, or any other aspect of our long history that may interest them, from the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Britain. As well as showing the treasures on view, I like to illustrate further aspects of the history of this ancient place by sharing materials I have prepared via my tablet, staying close to my visitors and talking them through the history personally.

What a fabulous day with Mark! The ride to Hampton Court was lovely and Mark is a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor. He even managed to engage our 15 year old son! And the tour was spectacular - Mark has so much to share that we wouldn't have gotten from exploring on our own and made the entire experience fun. If you are planning a visit, don't go without Mark!

I have always wanted to visit Hampton Court Palace and it did not disappoint. What an amazing place! Our guide, Mark, was so much fun and really made for a great tour. The pickup at our hotel was convenient and helpful as we just wanted to relax on the drive. Mark also pointed out Hampton Court locations where “The Favourite” and “Bridgerton” filmed. Well worth the tour price.
