Full-Day Tudor Tour to Hampton Court Palace and Hever Castle from London
When you hear about the Tudors, who do you think of?
King Henry VIII? Anne Boleyn? Cardinal Wolsey? (Perhaps even Jonathan Rhys Meyers!)
With these prominent people, came the love, the distrust, the plots, the politics and, of course, the executions. It was their way of life in Tudor times.
I’m John Coupland. As a local tour guide, you will see from my reviews that I have been delivering private tours to castles and historic places in South East England for many guests. Locations have included Hever Castle, (former family home of Anne Boleyn), and Leeds Castle, (one of King Henry VIII’s castles and where his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, used to reside).
I am delighted to share I now deliver private tours to Hampton Court Palace.
This is not just another private tour. This is your Tudor Day: To experience the Tudor way of life at historic Hampton Court Palace and beautiful Hever Castle.
