Hampton Court Palace
Als we door het Tudor Gatehouse binnenkomen, kan het voelen alsof we terug in de tijd zijn gegaan naar de 16e eeuw. Samen zullen we de binnenplaatsen en Tudor Keukens verkennen, we zullen de geuren en geluiden opsnuiven van een drukke werkomgeving waar heerlijke maaltijden werden bereid door de vele bedienden voor het hof van koning Hendrik VIII. We gaan naar de bovenste verdiepingen om de prachtige Tudor State Apartments te bekijken, die enkele van de mooiste kunstwerken en wandtapijten uit de periode bevatten, zoals de Abraham-wandtapijten en het schilderij van de familie van Henry VIII. Loop door de Grote Zaal en langs de Haunted Gallery waar ik het spookverhaal zal vertellen van Catherine Howard, de gedoemde vijfde vrouw van koning Hendrik VIII. Daarna gaan we naar de barokke kant van het paleis, gebouwd in 1689 door koningin Mary II en koning Willem III om te wedijveren met Versailes in de buurt van Parijs. We zullen de prachtige tuinen zien, waaronder de wereldberoemde hedge Maze, de Great Vine, de Royal Tennis Court en de King's Privy Garden.

Reizigersreviews
Sarah is a brilliant tour guide. She is so knowledgeable and fascinating. It was a great pleasure to visit Hampton Court with her and learn so much about the history, building and art there. I would definitely recommend.
Sarah is a top-level guide; she’s incredibly knowledgeable, curious and a great storyteller. She knows the palace inside out and gave us a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend!
Sarah was a wonderful Guide. Our group had a wonderful tour with Sarah at Hampton Court Palace at the beginning of June-26. Her incredible experience and in-depth knowledge of the Palace, truly brought this tour to life for our Group. I would happily recommend her to anyone wishing to visit Hampton Court. A big thank you Sarah. Thanks to Sarah, it has whetted my appetite to go back to Hampton Court and explore more of the Palace and gardens. Mindy U3A
I had a wonderful tour with Sarah at Hampton Court Palace. Although I had visited a few times before, she still managed to surprise me with so many hidden gems and stories I had never heard. Thanks to her, Hampton Court is now my favourite palace in London. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and fun to be around. Her passion for history really shines through, and I would happily recommend her to anyone visiting Hampton Court.
Sarah is _the_ expert for guiding all Royal Palaces, and particularly Hampton Court. She is the guide other guides go to for advice, fact checking, and amazing stories. If you are going to Hampton Court, Sarah is the guide you want - if you can get her.
Look no further than Sarah for your perfect private Hampton Court Palace guide. My 16 year old daughter heard her on the Talking Tours podcast and begged to take a tour with her. She met us (45 minutes early!) at a cafe near HCP. She was warm and it was apparent that she’s passionate about history. She was so good about checking in every so often to see what history we knew and what we needed a refresher on. Her way with history telling was just perfect. She moved along with all the fabulous information but it felt like we were hearing her tell stories. And she illustrated the stories with the palace. We have taken many private tours throughout the years and I can’t think of a better guide. Her way of explaining history is simple yet she goes so in depth. My daughter was completely engaged the entire 3 hours and so was I. I didn’t think we needed a private tour of HCP but now I can’t imagine going there without her. After the tour we went across the road the eat (just me and my daughter) and a stranger came up to me and said she had overheard a little of Sarah during our tour and was blown away. She said we were so lucky. I can’t agree more! Worth every penny
This tour is amazing and Sarah’s knowledge is incredible. She really brought the place alive for us with her historical knowledge and antidotes. It’s a very large palace and having someone guide us made it very manageable and enjoyable.
Our private tour guide Sarah was excellent - friendly and very knowledgeable on Tudor history - made it all really come to life. Hampton Court and gardens great day out.
