Hampton court palace private tour from London

Overview

After you meet your guide, get a window into the lives of the Tudor kings with a look through the palace grounds. You can visit the Tudor kitchens, the Privy Garden, the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace garden, and the Great Hall. See how Henry VIII lavished money on fabulous tapestries and paintings, housed and fed the huge English court, and sought his succession of wives, political power, and domination over Rome. Beyond the grandeur of the original Tudor designs, the elegance and romance of the palace owes much to the Baroque buildings created by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th century for the joint monarchs William and Mary. Learn to spot the differences and appreciate the storied history in the grand palace around you.
