I had my reservations and all that...but it exceeded my expectations on every level. Every area has been restored with great care. The history here is astounding, the beauty of the place and the gardens, will give you decades of memories. Once you see this place you will have a better grasp of just how decadent Old King Henry VIII... More

Set on the Thames a few miles out of London Hampton Court is a great day out. You get to find out how the Tudors lived with trips around the bedrooms, kitchens, wine cellars and great hall. Highlights include an original real tennis court that is still in use and the world famous maze. The gardens and riverside walks are... More

A wonderfully educational and entertaining experience. Hampton Court Palace oozes history. I love the staff dressed in medieval costumes and acting authentic parts. The palace is so interesting. The gardens beautiful.

The most stunning and beautiful place to visit I cannot say a bad word about it! Fish Court was lovely, comfortable,... More

An historical journey that is well worth the money. Parking was a bit tricky due to some temporary road alterations and a bit pricey. The free audio guides were excellent and gave a plethora of information about each step of the visit. When it was time for lunch we used the on site cafeteria and wished we hadn't. The food... More

I went with my three sisters and we had a fabulous day. The staff are excellent and stayed calm and efficient when the fire alarm went off and was not a drill. They ushered us all outside and kept us informed of progress until we could go back in again. Ask for an age concession if you are entitled to... More
