You’ll be treated like royalty on this very regal tour, that takes in Hampton Court (where the notorious Henry VIII used to live), with its outstanding gardens and elaborate maze and also Hever Castle (home to Henry's second wife - Anne Boleyn).

Hever Castle dates back to the 13th century. Stroll around the beautiful gardens or watch the wildfowl swimming happily in the moat that surrounds the castle.

Anne Boleyn lived here in the 15th century until she literally lost her head to Henry VIII. American millionaire William Waldorf Astor restored the castle in the 1900s, landscaping the beautiful gardens that you can still enjoy today. You can also stay here for a night of luxury, if you want to live like a Laird.

Before continuing your Tudor tour we'll stop off at a traditional English pub for a spot of lunch. We quite like the King Henry Ⅷ in Hever. It has a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. You'll get a great pint and traditional fish and chips too.

Then it's on to Hampton Court Palace, one of Henry VIII's most favourite residences (and he had a few to say the least!).

Stretching to the distance looking through railings

Hampton Court Palace is set beside a beautiful stretch of the River Thames. Built in 1514, it was once lived in by the notorious King Henry VIII (the ghost of one of his executed wives, Catherine Howard, is said to haunt the corridors!).

There’s also the world famous astronomical clock, built in 1540, stunning gardens and the Long Water canal with its fountains.

To the immediate north of the palace is Bushy Park, one of Henry's hunting grounds and now an important habitat for many species of flora and fauna. The deer can still be seen as well as notable landmarks such as Upper Lodge Water Gardens and the seventeenth century Diana Fountain-part of a landscape designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

Our customers say...

"Thanks for taking our clients/my relatives to Windsor and Hampton Court on Thursday. They really enjoyed the day with you. They particularly enjoyed seeing your old school and some of the more unusual parts of London"

Andrew - On behalf of Great British Trips

"We wanted to see southern England and end up in Bath – and thanks to David, we went where we wanted, when we wanted. The cost was little more than the alternatives, and the convenience alone was worth every penny. On top of it all, David is an interesting, knowledgeable and amusing companion who provided us with a stress-free, enjoyable day from start to finish. We recommend him highly"
