Overview

Enjoy a fully guided tour of Hampton Court Palace and see two Royal Palaces in one: Henry VIII's Tudor palace and the 17th century baroque Palace built King William III and Mary II.

This is a family friendly royal palace with a maze, an amazing art collection, Tudor kitchens, great exhibits and some of the finest gardens in the country.

Quick lunch stop (not included in tour cost).

We then drive to Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth II's favourite residence, to see the State Apartments used for official state and events and to wonder at St George's Chapel, QEII's final resting place.

Partially self guided visit to Windsor Castle with complimentary audioguide due to venue's guiding restrictions.

Not only two but in reality three royal palaces and 1,000 years of history in a day!

Peter picked us up from our hotel promptly at the meeting time and took us to Hampton Court first. We had chosen the pre purchase ticket option and it was very efficient and easy - Peter told us about the history on the way, pointed out where to start and set us on our way. After we were finished at Hampton Court, we headed to Windsor Castle. Again, Peter shared the history while we drove, took us into the castle to the point where he was allowed and then set us on our way. The one-on-one private tour is a great option and exactly what we were looking for - a personalized experience that takes all of the guess work out of traveling and visiting highlights close to London.

This is our 4th time we have used a private tour guide in our travels abroad. All have been great but we must say this tour with Peter was the best experience we ever had! He was so personable it was delightful spending the day with him! We felt we made a friend! However his historical knowledge of Hampton Court, Windsor Castle and British history in general was amazing and he made the entire day remarkable! There was not a question he could not answer. He is exceptional in every way! I’m only sorry we could only express our satisfaction with this experience by only 5 stars! Peter is heads above 5 stars, more like 50 stars! He far exceeded our expectations! Much appreciation to such a fine and knowledgeable gentleman! Thank you!

Due to flight cancellations by AA we had to reschedule our tour, which was not easy, I’m sure, but David’s team handled it marvelously. Our blue badge guide, Oliver was superb in all the history and details that he included. He made it easy for us to fit in as much or as little as we wanted. Our driver, Ramon was very accommodating, as well, as we had to be dropped off at two different spots when the tour was over. All things considered, this tour was our very favorite part of our time in London and I highly recommend splurging on this!

David was informative and delightful as he drove us through the city to our destinations in luxury. He personally guided us at Hampton Court (allowed) with historical but never dull commentary. He took us as far into Windsor as he was allowed while pointing out directions and exit points to maximize our time inside. Weather and traffic were not our friends but David was and we highly recommend his services.

Excellent. It is not inexpensive to tour both castles in one day, but well worth it when you are short on time. Tour operator is very knowledgable, respectful, organized and prepares you in advance to better appreciate each castle.
