Hampton Court Palace Private Tour Details

Explore Hampton Court Palace – located a short ride from central London. This magnificent 500-year-old palace is often overlooked by tourists, yet it is one of the most amazing sights in London!

Begin at your central London hotel or apartment with your guide or at Waterloo Station. Travel to Hampton Court Palace by luxury Mercedes V-Class vehicle or by fast train. We offer both options.

Skip the ticket office queue and go straight to Hampton Palace security. We’ll arrange everything to make the most of your valuable time.

Tour highlights include:

Discover this royal palace's humble beginnings and how King Henry VIII expanded it into his largest Tudor palace with room for his entire court of over 1,000 people.
See The Great Hall with its incredible hammer-beam ceiling - this is the heart of the palace. Find out how Henry honoured his new wife, Anne Boleyn and see the stunning Abraham Tapestries.
See the infamous Haunted Gallery and processional route. Discover whose ghost is said to walk the corridors.
Explore the State Apartments of both King William III and King Henry VIII - lavish beyond belief.
Enjoy roaming the beautiful gardens which feature a hedge maze, and the largest and oldest grapevine in the world.
Delight in the palace kitchens - the largest kitchens in Tudor England.
Plus so much more… with 500 years of history, Hampton Court Palace is the London palace to give you a sense of scale and grandeur of how kings and queens once lived.
