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!

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.
