Very basic

Margaret_S, Apr 2026
Your "tour" fee covers your bus transfer and standard entry ticket only. No additional tour guide or support documentation is provided by Viator

Amazing place, wish we had more time!!

James_D, Apr 2026
Nothing against the tour service or the destination, but there was simply not enough time to see everything in ~3 hours. If you only wish to say you’ve “been there” and visited some of the rooms or gardens, this tour will fit the bill. Otherwise, find a longer excursion option or a different way to visit this amazing place, without the rushed return.

Very interesting history about Henry VIII and his wives. Be sure to get the free audio tour. It really makes a difference in understanding life in the castle.

Great Tour

Amazing Tour

ronald_a, Feb 2026
This was a fantastic tour. Being able to walk through the palace and walk the grounds was amazing. This an absolute must do for anyone that loves history.

Very good experience,...

Brian_J, Feb 2026
Very good experience, lots of stairs to see the apartments but worth it. Quite a few areas closed, marked as "Private" but still a lot to see. Gardens were beautiful.

Disorganised

Make sure that the driver gives you the QR code for entry into Hampton Court. We didn’t get ours and had to track down the driver to get it.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Peter, Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you did not receive the necessary QR code for entry to Hampton Court Palace promptly and that you had to track down the driver to get it. This is certainly not the smooth experience we aim to provide. While we do have clear procedures instructing our drivers on distributing entry materials, we regret that this step was missed on your tour. We will use your comments as immediate feedback to reinforce this procedure and ensure this issue does not occur again. Thank you once more for bringing this to our attention. Kind Regards, Anderson Tours

Transport is convenient but limiting.

Peter_H, Sep 2025
The value was in the transport to and from Victoria Station .... my advice would be to go by train and return by boat so that you are not as constrained by time. Hampton Court is a MUST visit when you are next in London.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Peter, Thank you for your message; we are happy to hear you had a great day out. We limit the duration of your visit to Hampton Court Palace to 3 hours, as this is the recommended time. We do this to ensure the tour remains a convenient half-day trip for our customers. We hope you can travel with us again soon. Kind Regards, Anderson Tours

Chaotic Experience

Craig_C, Jul 2022
Unfortunately, our tour did not have a guide and the driver was last minute. So, needless to say it was chaotic at times. I would recommend just taking the train to each location. Cheaper and more efficient

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Craig, Thank you for your review and we are extremely sorry to hear that you found the trip 'chaotic' and would be very interested to hear more details from you about what exactly went wrong. Unfortunately, the afternoon before your tour the driver-guide lined up to do this tour had a health emergency and we had to find someone to fill his place at short notice, and we would very much welcome any detailed feedback on what happened on the day. We are extremely sorry again that you did not enjoy your day out with us and would be more than happy to offer you a substantial discount off another tour if you would like to travel somewhere else from London (e.g. Stonehenge & Bath, Canterbury & Dover, etc.).

Samuel_C, Jul 2016
The good thing is the convenience of transportation to both Hampton Court and Windsor Castle. That said, background information was on the lacking side. Only the basic minimum was provided prior to the destinations. A little disappointing, I suppose!
