A private, tailored Hampton Court Palace tour with Sheila Dunsmore, covering Tudor and Baroque highlights, stories, and gardens in about 2 hours.
“Sheila Dunsmore is fantastic! She took us all over Hampton Court. She started the tour by asking what kind of tour we wanted so she could cater to our expectations. She is a wealth of knowledge about the architecture, history and people associated with the palace. It was so much better than listening to an audio tour. We could stop where we wanted, ask questions and even got to hear a ghost story. If you want a fantastic tour guide, pick Sheila.”

A private 3-hour Hampton Court Palace tour with Sandy Rhodes, pairing Henry VIII and William III, plus gardens, a maze, and court theatrics.

Cycle Hampton Court grounds on a small-group bike tour, pedaling through Bushy Park, deer sightings, Thames views, and palace history stops.
“Beautiful ride through the palace park. Horrible equipment, old bicycles in disrepair, tires not properly inflated. Guide was nice but difficult to understand, spoke way too fast even after being asked to slow down. There was very little information given about the grounds, history & sites we passed along the way.”
Skip the crowds with a 2-hour private Hampton Court tour with Jo Cooper, tailored to your interests, from Tudor kitchens to William III.
“Jo was an amazing guide! She was very engaging, informative, and well-versed in Tudor history and Hampton palace. She did a fantastic job of focusing the tour on our interests, which was the wives of Henry VIII. I can’t say enough about how fantastic she was! I would definitely recommend her tour to anyone interested in Hampton Palace! Thank you Jo!”
A private Tudor-focused Hampton Court Palace tour led by Sarah Slater, covering Henry VIII and his six wives, plus gardens and cellars.
“One of the best tours I’ve taken in a while. Lots of history told through storytelling mixed with some mentions of bridgerton. Sarah kept my ten year old daughter engaged the whole time. We focused on the Tudor side of the building and walked the grounds for a bit. Also found the town of Hampton Court charming. Easy to get here from London with Ubers/taxis or train.”
