A royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, Hampton Court Palace was built in 1515 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, favourite advisor to King Henry VIII. Once the most powerful man in the English court, second only to the King, Cardinal Wolsey fell out of favour with Henry after he failed to negotiate an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so he could marry his latest obsession, Anne Boleyn. After Wolsey’s death in 1530, Henry VIII took charge of Hampton Court, turning it in to a hotel, a theatre and a huge private playground, using it to demonstrate his enormous wealth. 120 minutes

Mark Osbourne was our tour guide. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and an all round super nice guy. Our driver was great too. I'm sorry I forgot his name.

Great driver; did a great job maneuvering the streets of London before heading to our destination. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and made it very interesting along the way. Would recommend this tour. Would like to have had more time at each of the two destinations (even though it was a full day excursion) because there is so much to see and learn at each of the places.

The guide, Zulu, was informative and entertaining. Pointed out sites along the bus routes to locations as well as plenty of history. Gave plenty of time to self pace both Windsor castle and Hampton court.
