Fantastic tour with Julie! 10/10 ⭐️ - 10/0 recommend a tour with Julie!!! We had an amazing, insightful, educational tour with Julie. She has adds a personal touch with family stories of being at Hampton court and knowing those who have lived there. She is full of knowledge and information that made our tour fun and move along in a fantastic way. Julie knew the ins and outs and was kind with my needs (we had an older family member who walked slowly) and allowed us to take breaks as need. Highly recommend Julie as a tour guide!

Hampton Court tour - Our guide Geraint took us into the world of the Tudors and introduced us to the eventful history of Hampton Court with Henry VIII and his wives. It was very informative.

Excellent on all fronts! - Tom was an amazing host and guide. Knowledgeable as well as personable, he put us right at ease. Our group was small which allowed for nimble movements throughout the site and thus we weren’t held back by other groups coming through. I recommend highly!!

Engaging and Enriching Hampton Court Tour - Julie’s historic insights had made our visit quite memorable. There’s something magical about a guide who can captivate not just adults, but children as well—turning a tour into an immersive adventure rather than just a series of facts. Our son’s newfound curiosity about history could be the start of something amazing—who knows what great discoveries or adventures it might lead to! We highly recommend Julie for your next memorable journey through time @ Hampton Court.

Palace tour with tea - Julie, our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the palace and had intimate information of the palace, royals and gardens. The buildings and gardens were lovely-lots of great photos. High tea was delicious & a lovely way to top off a great visit! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour through history - Tom was an excellent guide. His knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the castle's history made this tour all the more interesting. He brought the characters to life as we walked through history. It was fascinating seeing the history pieced together through architecture and artifacts. This was a great tour!

Poor value for money - The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable, which gave us a greater understanding of the palace and the royals who used it. The afternoon tea was nice ( freshly made) but the service was very slow and not particularly engaging, we were pretty much ignored unless we grabbed someone as they passed. The big issue is the price, which was £636 for 4…we discovered that £29 for the palace and £55 for the tea per head equals £84 (£336 for the 4 of us) so we paid £75 per head (£300 extra) for a 2.5 hour guide!! This is a huge amount and we felt it was extremely expensive with hindsight- so be warned! A small thing too, he took just one “souvenir photo” for us, cutting one of our group out completely! At least take two or three just in case?
