Spend the day immersing yourself in royal history by visiting two Royal residences, Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle. Start your private tour with pickup from your hotel in London and begin the drive to Hampton Court.

A favorite summer home of King Henry VIII, Hampton Court Palace is an opulent fusion of architectural styles. Marvel at the spectacular Abraham Tapestries, commissioned by Henry VIII to celebrate the birth of his only son, Edward. Visit the lavish State Rooms, the Great Hall, and the Chapel Royal. Wander through its vast medieval kitchens and cellars to gain a fascinating insight into the challenges of feeding 600 people in the 16th century. Outside, explore 60 acres of formal gardens and lose yourself in the world-famous maze.

The second stop on your tour will take you to Windsor Castle, the ancestral home of the British Royal family and the largest continuously occupied castle in Europe. Step inside St George’s Chapel, the site of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018, and where the tombs of several previous monarchs are located. As you walk through the State Apartments, the centerpiece of the castle and reputed to be the grandest apartments in England, their opulence is immediately apparent.
