Private guided tour of Hampton Court Palace. Enjoy a private tour through the majestic palace of Henry VIII with the help of an expert guide. This visit to Hampton Court Palace gives you the chance to learn about the rich history that runs through the onetime royal residence. After you meet your guide, get a window into the lives of the Tudor kings with a look through the palace grounds. You can visit the Tudor kitchens, the Privy Garden, the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace garden, and the Great Hall. See how Henry VIII lavished money on fabulous tapestries and paintings, housed and fed the huge English court, and sought his succession of wives, political power, and domination over Rome. Beyond the grandeur of the original Tudor designs, the elegance and romance of the palace owes much to the Baroque buildings created by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th century for the joint monarchs William and Mary.
