Amazing Tour - If you're someone who fancies themself an amateur historian, you probably think you know everything there is to know about Henry, his life and wives. And while just being at Hampton Court Palace is amazing in itself, an audio tour or just reading the signs will not expand your knowledge or understanding of this very complex man, or the truly fascinating history of the palace beyond Henry. Siobhan was super nice, and super knowledgeable. She took time to answer all my questions and set me straight on some historical inaccuracies. We learned several things we wouldn't have without this tour. I feel we left with an overall clearer understanding of the palace and the people who lived there. Absolutely worth it.

Incredible - Siobhan was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend her tour more highly. If you are obsessed with the Tudors like I am, I promise she will teach you things you didn't know yet.

Awesome dive into history - Siobhan Clarke made the tour interesting and fun for both a teenager obsessed with Six and the Tudors, as well as for an energetic 8 year old boy. We have read a great deal on the subject and learned even more.

One tour to take in London - The grounds and interior were worth the time. We loved the great hall. I did expect more from the tour guide. The private car option is worth the price.
