Explore Hampton Court Palace’s Tudor history and the stories of Henry VIII’s six wives on a private tour with guide Sarah.

About this tour

Step into the Tudor world of Hampton Court Palace and follow the stories of Henry VIII, his six wives, and their children. This private guided tour focuses on the palace’s 16th-century history, bringing its royal intrigues and everyday lives into sharper view.

Your guide, Sarah, is a social historian and storyteller who has worked at Hampton Court Palace since 2008. A qualified professional Blue Badge Tourist Guide, she shares expert insight into the palace’s architecture, artworks, and history as you explore the Tudor side of this remarkable residence. The palace also includes a 17th-century Baroque section rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren; this tour focuses on the Tudor story rather than the entire palace.

Meet Sarah on the moat bridge in front of the West Gate. Palace admission is not included, so arrange your ticket separately through the Historic Royal Palaces website. The chapel may be closed on Sundays. Choose this Hampton Court Palace tour for a personal, story-rich introduction to the people and events that shaped the Tudor court.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 39 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.5. Top 8% in London means it ranks in the top 8% of tours in London by this score.
