Stop At: Hampton Court Palace, A308, East Molesey KT8 9AU England

Hampton Court Palace. Hampton Court was built by Cardinal Wolsey. There will be time to visit the lovely gardens, maze and State rooms.
500 years of garden history
These gardens, now visited by thousands of people every year, were once the exclusive playground of kings and queens. New ideas and designs arrived with each new era, from the Tudors through to the Victorians.
Today the Gardens and Estate team continue the work of past royal gardeners.
Monarchs and their gardeners have all influenced the gardens in different ways. In the early 1500s Cardinal Wolsey laid out the first small knot gardens, before Henry VIII took over the palace, strutting through his heraldic Privy Garden.
From Charles II’s elegant Long Water, to William III & Mary II’s fine baroque gardens, including the Maze, to dazzling displays of Victorian mass bedding, Hampton Court Gardens have always been at the cutting edge of design.

Great driver. Easy touring. Only suggestion would be for tour to be 8 hours instead of 7 do to traffic and we did not get to see or enjoy the gardens at Hampton Court Palace pretty much at all

We read previous ugly reviews but were desperate for a trip and so I will leave it as buyer beware. The “driver” was unfriendly and unknowledgeable. He drove us the long way to destinations to use up our available 7 hours. Upon the the last stop, Hampton Palace, he told us to be back at the car for a 1 1/2 drive back to London. We were back as told. The return trip took only 50 minutes. We could have had additional time at Hampton Palace. What a rip off! As I said let the buyer beware and we wanted to be better than other people wrote about.

This was nothing like we expected. Basically, we paid a large sum of money (US$842.00) to have someone drive us to Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, then Back to London There was no "tour" involved. The time in the car took place almost totally in silence. We were not told anything about the places we were visiting, and we doubt that the driver had any knowledge of them, except how to get there and back.. And he did not accompany us into either place. Hampton Court and Windsor Castle were both wonderful and well worth the time we spent there. But there are much less expensive ways to see them, even to see them on the same day. I felt cheated on this experience. It was not worth $842.00.

Hampton court was closed. Why allow me to pay for something that is closed. Supposedly, an email was sent a few hours before, I have no record and you also sent me a text confirmation.
