Visit Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace from London by coach, with royal history, expert commentary, entry tickets, and a snack pack.
“Do not book this experience! I think it’s a ploy! They cancel the tour 24 hours out from departure so that you have no time to find something else. Then they offer you their half day Windsor tour option as an alternative with a partial refund. We then opted for this and then they never issued the refund!! Terrible!! I followed up two times about the refund (no one got back to me), and eventually I just let my credit card company handle it. I think they do this a lot to collect more money for their Windsor tour. What a scam! Also the Windsor half day tour was fine,…”
Explore Hampton Court Palace with Sarah Slater, an expert private guide covering Tudor rooms, royal kitchens, gardens, and the famous maze.
“Sarah was an excellent tour guide for Hampton Court Palace. She ‘met me where I was’ in my knowledge of the palace and the history of the monarchy. She also spent time on the things I was interested in (the history, the architecture) and avoided the things I was less interested in (the art). She is very easygoing and accommodating. Would highly recommend Sarah for anyone wanting a more tailored visit.”
