See Windsor Castle and Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace on a guided day trip from London, with coach transport and selected entry options.

About this tour

Discover two royal residences on a full-day journey from central London: Windsor Castle, a working royal palace, and Hampton Court Palace, once home to Henry VIII. A professional guide leads a panoramic tour of London before you travel by comfortable, air-conditioned coach to explore these historic landmarks.

At Windsor Castle, see the State Apartments when open, and look out for Queen Mary’s remarkably detailed Dolls’ House and St. George’s Chapel. At Hampton Court Palace, explore the Tudor setting and gardens if your selected option includes admission. Entry to both palaces is available with selected options, so check your ticket details when booking. Windsor Castle’s schedule can change, and it closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; on those days, the visit is replaced by a walking tour of the town.

This London Palace Tour pairs city views with centuries of royal history, all in one day. Choose your ticket option, bring your e-ticket, and set out to discover two of England’s best-known palaces.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.14 from 137 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 4.3.
