Private Hampton Court and Windsor Castle Tour from London
Hampton Court and Windsor Castle Tour from London (10 Hours)
Step back into England’s royal past on this Hampton Court and Windsor Castle tour from London, travelling in comfort in a private executive car with your own chauffeur-guide. This full-day journey combines two of the nation’s most iconic royal residences, each with centuries of history and captivating stories to tell.
At Hampton Court Palace, once the favourite residence of Henry VIII, explore magnificent Tudor halls and learn about the lives (and fates) of his six wives. Families can enjoy costumed actors, a famous hedge maze, a children’s playground, and some of the finest landscaped gardens in the country. Don’t miss the Cumberland Art Gallery, home to masterpieces by Holbein, Rembrandt, Rubens, Caravaggio, and Mantegna.
Continue to Windsor Castle, the world’s oldest and largest inhabited castle, and for centuries a home to monarchs. Explore the State Apartments, richly decorated and still used for official occasions, and admire the chapel where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married. St George’s Chapel is one of the most beautiful examples of English Gothic architecture and the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth II. Meanwhile, the Queen Mary’s Doll House offers a unique, miniature view of royal life.
This fully customisable Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle tour includes a lunch stop, as well as complimentary pick-up and drop-off anywhere in central London (Zone 1). For those wanting to experience two of England’s greatest royal treasures in a single day, our Hampton Court Palace tour from London paired with Windsor Castle makes the perfect combination.
