What To Expect
Discover the lavish spaces where the notorious Henry VIII once resided, indulged and—occasionally—terrorized his court, particularly his six unfortunate wives. Make your own way to Hampton Court Palace and use your pre-booked admission ticket to enter.
Once inside, explore independently or join a guided tour to learn about the extravagant palace that evolved from humble beginnings as a grange in the 13th century. Acquired by capricious King Henry in the 1520s, the estate grew in size and grandeur, replete with fine tapestries, furnishings, and art. Along the tour, see the Great Hall, the State Apartments, and the enormous royal kitchens. Built to feed the indulgent king and his court of 600 people twice daily, these kitchens were the largest of Tutor England.
Families may enjoy the Family Trails tour, a kid-focused palace walk, and a visit to Hampton’s Family Room, a designated space for children to rest and play.
After your tour through the magnificent palace interior, head outside to the surrounding gardens. Wander through the unique Privy Gardens, the Great Vine and the Hampton Court Maze—touted as the most famous maze in the world. Fortunately, with no tangental paths to stump you, you won’t get lost within it!

Very good. Well worth a visit. Gardens a little worse for wear due to the like of rain. Staff on site very helpful. Bring your own lunch as options limited and expensive.
Take A full day to experience all the palace and gardens. Although we had no children in our party, they had plenty to engage the youngsters
We had a great time - parking was easy on site and everywhere was within a short walking distance. The exhibits were superb and we saw the Indoor Tennis Court being used! Despite the hot weather and the fact that a lot of the garden was parched, we still saw some wonderful floral specimens. Food was great too - we spent around four and a half hours exploring and had a great day!
Audio guide is free and fantastic to follow thru the castle . It’s a must to have the best experience . Recommend to start at 10 and by 2 pm you will have time to walk a tiss the street to the swan restaurant and back by ; pm for the jousting experience
Great for all ages. Interactive with real scents and sounds. Walking in court yards a little rough as what would be expected in the century of interpretation. Not a problem if your careful. We felt like we had stepped back in time.
Great historic house. 4 separate indoor apartments areas to view, which are all worth a visit. Extensive formal gardens which we didn’t have time to view, but looked great from the windows.
What a wonderful site to visit. Well worth the trip outside of London proper. Never enough time for me- allow 3+ hours in order to tour the palace and the grounds.
If you love history this is a must see. It was quite an experience to wander in the halls of the Tudors, to see how they lived and passed their time. It was an absolute delight to have a chat with the older gentleman that was in the great hall. He kindly offered to take our picture in ye old monarchs seats and was very informative about the Tudor times. Overall a wonderful experience.
Fantastic museum with so much to see and absorb. We paid extra for a guide and that was awesome, too. Will higly recommend to others.
We had a wonderful time on our tour with our guide Sandy. She was very knowledgeable with a passion for Tudor History. The gardens are spectacular and we spent time enjoying the serenity of it all while watching Swans with their babies.
Great day, started walking around the gardens before it got too hot. Really enjoyed the tour around the palace , the audio guide is a must to get as much out of your visit. Not too busy and easy to find your way around. Well kept gardens and building.
It is an amazing place with so much history the gardens are beautiful worth exploring eat to get there using the tube
all fine! No glitches. When we showed up, Hampton court entry ticket was immediate +no need for a special guide/ each room view is well described, do allow extra time for manicured gardens!
BTW, boarded train in London/ bot R/T tickets-a short trip each way. The park was straight ahead/easy, nothing to figure out.
We loved seeing Hampton Court Palace. The audio tour worked well. Come prepares for a lot of walking but well worth the visit. It was very convenient to have tickets in hand and walk right in. It was easy to ride the tube and a train to Hampton station.
I did a self-guided tour of this wonderful palace, although audio tours are available. From the 16th century through the later additions, the palace gives a great insight into the reining ruling who lived there.
The gardens and maze are both beautiful and fun. The train ride from London was pleasant. The large cafe on the grounds is worth a visit and quite good because a proper tour will take several hours.
Hampton Palace was amazing!! We had the best day exploring the palace and the grounds an even took a horse carriage ride. This is a must see when visiting London!!
Do not purchase tickets through Viator for this tour. I never was able to access my tickets and ended up repurchasing at the castle. Because it was a third party transaction, the confirmation number was useless. I am working on getting a refund for my purchase through Viator. This will determine whether I use them again for future tours
We had no issues using Viator tickets and grabbing our headsets. Prices were slightly cheaper than the website.
Peter is a very experienced tour guide. He knows everything about when to go for each activity. Recommend.
Incredible! The grounds were beautiful and the rooms were so interesting to learn about. I especially liked the Tudor kitchens.
Hampton Court was very nice . The Viator digital passes could not be scanned. Recommend buying directly from Hampton Court.
Loved this self guided tour along with the various guides provided by Hampton Court. Rich in English history.
It was fabulous. David did a fabulous job educating us on the history, art and culture Hampton Court. The drive was lovely and the trip was delightful as David continued to educate us about the areas we traversed. A bonus was getting to see Eton College.
It was a great day, take the train out and that is fun also. go to the Mute Swan across the road for lunch very nice ..... Henry's Castle is just amazing so much to see, so much history. having your ticket first saves lots of time lining up.
We really enjoyed Hampton Court Palace. It was lower season, so a great experience because
it wasn't crowded. We appreciated having all travel information on our voucher as to how to get out there We opted to take the train which was easy and only 30 min. Again thanks to the specific
info.
We used our Oyster card to take the tube to Wimbledon then again to board a national railway train to Hampton Court.
After about a 3' walk we entered the grounds.
We just should our ticket which we had printed off at home and went right in.
Wow! What a marvelous place to visit! So much history here. We happened to be here on the hottest day on record in London. It was so hot! The palace was almost deserted, giving us plenty of photo opportunities with no people in the pictures. The brochure is laid out well, so you can see what interests you by time periods. There were employees in every room to answer your questions. Would definitely go back to spend more time! Well worth the ticket price.
Lovely day out, very interesting. Our grandson enjoyed looking for the dragon. We all enjoyed the Maze. We also liked the Tudor Kitchen.
We did not know a lot about Hampton Court Palace prior to our visit. I was great! Full of so much history. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as it is quite large.
A great Palace with a lot to see. Actually I recommend those who want to visit it to take 2 days to do it, since the gardens are absolutely majestic. One day for the Palace another for the garden
