What To Expect
This tour is for visitors who want to explore the 16th century Tudor side of Hampton Court Palace; the life, loves and intrigues of Henry VIII, his six wives and children. Exploring the past where history happened.
Hampton Court Palace is a 'Palace of two halves'; the 16th century Tudor half and the 17th century Baroque rebuild by Sir Christopher Wren.
If you wish to be guided around the whole palace, please see Sarah's other listings and book the 'Expert' tour which is slightly longer.
