Overview

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. Sarah aka Hampton Court Tour Guide, has worked at the palace since 2008 so is ideally placed to bring alive tales of mistresses, betrayals and ghosts that haunt the galleries. Sarah is a professional guide and storyteller, a member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding and British Guild of Tourist Guides, she is qualified as both a White Badge Guide Lecturer at Hampton Court Palace and Blue Badge Tourist Guide South Central England, Windsor and Eton. Chapel closed on Sundays. Entrance fees excluded.

Itinerary

  • Hampton Court Palace

    This tour is for those particularly interested in the detail of the Tudor Palace rather than Baroque. We will walk in the footsteps of the Tudor kings and queens, following the stories, life and loves of the notorious Henry VIII, his children and his six wives; Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleve, Catherine Howard and Kathryn Parr. I will show you the magnificent State Apartments, Tudor kitchens, wine cellars, and beautiful Tudor Pond Garden. As a trained storyteller I will bring alive the characters from the past, the tales of mistresses, betrayals and the ghosts that haunt the galleries. The cost of my tour covers a private group of up to 15 people for 2 hours, by prior arrangement I can accommodate more guests and increase the length of the tour. Entrance fees to Hampton Court Palace are NOT included in the price of this tour booking. Entrance tickets should be purchased through the Historic Royal Palace's website.

A++ tour of Hampton Court Palace. A step back in time with Henry VIII and his 6 wives.

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived! What an awesome personal tour with Sarah Slater! It started out with excellent communication on where to meet and how to purchase the entry to Hampton Court Palace prior to our arrival. Then the follow up the morning of the tour with a reminder of where to meet. We were able to locate Sarah easily and she started the tour by asking a few questions about ourselves, how much we knew already and what we wanted to get out of the tour. She was mindful of our safety (always pointing out uneven walkways) and guided us through the palace making all the places we visited come to life. We booked the Tudor tour and it did not disappoint. She helped us to appreciate what life was like as a royal, as guests and as many of the staff that kept the place running for so many years back in the time of Henry VIII. We took three tours during our 5 nights in London and this was by far my favorite. Hampton Court was an easy train ride from the center of the city and a short walk from the train station. After our tour we had something to eat from the café on the Palace grounds and walked around the hedge maze plus went back and took pictures from some of our favorite parts of the tour. THANK YOU Sarah for making history come alive for us! We highly recommend this tour for any fans of Tudor history (like myself) or for anyone else who would enjoy walking around a Palace that dates back 500 years (my husband and young adult kids). We got so much more out of our time there than had we toured alone.
