Hampton Court Palace Guided Tour. Full day Entry & Afternoon Tea

Full-day entryAfternoon teaGuide included

The only Hampton Court Palace tour here that bundles a guide, full-day admission and afternoon tea at a per-person price. Your guide meets the group at Hampton Court station and walks you over the bridge, so the approach is narrated rather than spent finding the entrance. Roughly three hours cover the Tudor courts, the Great Hall, the kitchens and the state rooms, plus Hampton Court Park. Afternoon tea with freshly baked scones, cake and a choice of teas closes it — then your full-day pass lets you go back in.

Private Guided Tour of Hampton Court Palace

Private groupThemed routesWheelchair accessible

The best-reviewed private guide working at Hampton Court Palace, and the credentials explain why: eighteen years as a state apartment warder inside this building, plus a Level 3 Diploma in Cultural Heritage and Institute of Tourist Guiding accreditation. The rate is flat for the whole group of up to ten, so the cost per head falls sharply for families. Themed routes are chosen in advance — the ghost stories and the Haunted Gallery, LGBTQ+ history at the Tudor court, the Grace and Favour residents, or a route built for children. Palace admission is bought separately.

Hampton Court Palace Private Tour - Secrets of Henry VIII

Private groupTudor specialistMorning or afternoon

Siobhan Clarke has written four books on the Tudors and leads this private tour through the rooms her research covers.

Reviewers describe it as being transported into royal intrigue rather than walked past display cases. Priced as a flat rate for up to ten people, with morning and afternoon departures, and palace admission bought separately.

Luxury Private Day Hire London-London Stopover at Windsor & Hampton Court Palace

A chauffeured Mercedes minivan for a full ten-hour day, 9:00 to 19:00, taking in both Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle with hotel pickup and drop-off, on-board WiFi and bottled water. What sets it apart is time on site: nearly five hours at Hampton Court, the longest allowance of any option here, which is enough to see the palace and the gardens properly rather than choosing between them. Sightseeing at both sites is self-guided and admission to each is extra. Flat rate for up to six.

A flat eight-mile guided cycle through the royal parkland surrounding Hampton Court Palace, taking in Bushy Park with its deer herds descended from Tudor stock, the Long Water and the Thames towpath. Bikes and helmets are provided and the terrain is level throughout, so it suits anyone comfortable on a bicycle.

The palace

About Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace is two palaces sharing one roofline. Cardinal Thomas Wolsey began building in 1514 and lost it to Henry VIII within fifteen years; Henry turned it into the most lavish court in Tudor England and brought five of his six wives here. Nearly two centuries later William III and Mary II hired Christopher Wren to demolish the lot and replace it with a Baroque palace to rival Versailles — and the money ran out halfway. The result is a building where you cross a courtyard and change century.

Queen Victoria opened it to the public free of charge in 1838, and it has been welcoming visitors ever since under Historic Royal Palaces. One ticket covers the state rooms, the Tudor kitchens, 60 acres of gardens and Britain’s oldest hedge maze.

Wolsey in 1514 through the King James Bible, Wren’s rebuild and the 1986 fire.

What to see at Hampton Court Palace

The Great Hall, Tudor kitchens, Chapel Royal and the Baroque state apartments, room by room.

Everything You Need to Decide

The questions that stall a Hampton Court Palace booking, answered.

Getting there from LondonWhich ticketHow long & whenWhat’s open on your dateKids & access

Getting there from London

South Western Railway runs from London Waterloo to Hampton Court in about 35 minutes, two trains an hour, then a five-minute walk over the bridge. Driving takes roughly an hour from central London with paid parking on site. Coach day trips leave from near Victoria at 9:15 with your ticket included, and seasonal river boats run from Westminster, Richmond and Kingston.

Read the full getting there guide →

Which ticket you need

One palace ticket covers the state apartments, the Tudor kitchens, all 60 acres of gardens, the Magic Garden and the Maze — there is no separate maze ticket. The thing to check is your tour: most private guided tours here do not include admission, and expect you to arrive holding your own. Every card above states its admission status plainly.

Compare ticket types and prices →

How long to allow, and when to come

Three hours is the honest minimum for the palace and a short garden walk; four to five hours does both properly, and families should plan a full day. The palace opens at 10:00, and last admission is a full hour before closing — 16:30 against a 17:30 close in the summer season. Weekdays are cheaper than weekends and noticeably quieter.

See the complete Hampton Court Palace visitor guide →

What’s open on your date

The Mantegna Gallery is closed until Spring 2027, with two of the Triumphs of Caesar canvases shown in the Georgian Story meanwhile. The Chapel Royal is a working chapel and can close at short notice for services, and short conservation closures happen through the year. Event days shift the rhythm too — concerts close parts of the gardens for setup.

Check the events calendar →

Visiting with children, and accessibility

Under-5s go free and the Magic Garden, the Maze and the Family Trails are all included in admission — which is what turns this into a full family day. The gardens are level and easy; the historic apartments involve stairs and worn cobbles in places. Several private guides are listed as wheelchair accessible and adapt their route, and one walking tour states it is not suitable.

David, USA, couple, 2026 · Hampton Court Palace Entrance Ticket

“Having tickets in hand meant we walked straight in. Train and a short walk from London — nothing to figure out.”

Heidi, USA, couple, 2026 · Hampton Court Palace Entrance Ticket

★★★★★

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book tickets in advance?

Pre-booking online is recommended: it guarantees entry, is cheaper than the ticket office on most dates, and weekend and school-holiday slots sell out early. Walk-up tickets exist but are limited in peak season.

Can I cancel a tour for free?

Almost all tours here offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start. One exception: the private vehicle transfer with tickets is non-refundable — its card says so.

Do guided tours include the entrance ticket?

Many don't. Most private guided tours meet you at the West Gate and require you to buy palace admission separately from Historic Royal Palaces. Every tour card on this site states whether admission is included.

What's the cheapest way to visit Hampton Court Palace?

The standard entrance ticket, from about $43 booked online here or from £29 off-peak direct with Historic Royal Palaces. Weekday visits are cheaper than weekends.

How much are Hampton Court Palace tickets in 2026?

Direct from Historic Royal Palaces: adults from £29 off-peak (weekdays) up to £32 peak (weekends and bank holidays); children 5–15 £16 peak; concessions £25.50 peak. Under-5s go free.

What does the ticket include?

Everything: the palace and State Apartments, the Tudor kitchens, the 60 acres of gardens, the Magic Garden and the Maze. There's no separate maze ticket.

Is the Maze included in the ticket?

Yes. Maze entry is part of standard palace admission; there is no maze-only ticket.

What are the opening hours?

Summer season roughly 10:00–17:30 with last admission 16:30; winter season 10:00–16:30. Closed 24–26 December. Check the official Historic Royal Palaces page before you travel — hours shift by season and event.

How long do you need at Hampton Court Palace?

Three hours minimum for the palace, kitchens and a garden walk; a full day if you want the Maze, the Great Vine, the Magic Garden and time by the river. Travellers consistently say half a day felt rushed.

How do you get to Hampton Court Palace from London?

Train is simplest: London Waterloo to Hampton Court, about 35 minutes, two trains an hour, then a five-minute walk over the bridge. Coach day trips, private cars and seasonal river boats are the alternatives.

Is the palace wheelchair accessible?

The palace and gardens are largely accessible and several tours are explicitly wheelchair-friendly, but this is a 500-year-old building: some historic routes involve stairs and uneven cobbles, and one walking tour here states it is not suitable for wheelchair users. Check the specific tour's card.

Can you take photos inside the palace?

Yes, for personal use throughout the palace and gardens — no flash or tripods in the historic apartments.

When is the best time to visit?

The first hour after opening and the last two hours are quietest in the popular rooms; weekdays are cheaper and calmer than weekends. September brings the Great Vine grape harvest.

Why is Hampton Court Palace famous?

It was Henry VIII's favourite residence — five of his six wives lived here — and it survives as two palaces in one: the Tudor courts of Henry VIII joined to the Baroque palace Christopher Wren built for William III and Mary II.

Is the palace haunted?

It has England's best-documented palace ghost stories: Catherine Howard in the Haunted Gallery, Sybil Penn the Grey Lady, and the 2003 CCTV "Skeletor" figure the palace itself released. A 2001 psychology study run in the gallery found the "haunted" spots matched measurable cold draughts — visit and decide for yourself.
