About this experience
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.
Head out to the pretty town of Windsor for your look at the castle, where centuries of royal history are waiting for you. Splendour of the building, St. George's Chapel, and the sumptuous state apartments.
