Private Half-Day Tour of Hampton Court

Overview

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.
