Hampton Court Palace

I love discussing England past & present with my guests while we journey to Hampton Court in my Mercedes. We can talk about the Palace itself, or any other aspect of our long history that may interest them, from the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Britain. As well as showing the treasures on view, I like to illustrate further aspects of the history of this ancient place by sharing materials I have prepared via my tablet, staying close to my visitors and talking them through the history personally.

What a fabulous day with Mark! The ride to Hampton Court was lovely and Mark is a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor. He even managed to engage our 15 year old son! And the tour was spectacular - Mark has so much to share that we wouldn't have gotten from exploring on our own and made the entire experience fun. If you are planning a visit, don't go without Mark!

I have always wanted to visit Hampton Court Palace and it did not disappoint. What an amazing place! Our guide, Mark, was so much fun and really made for a great tour. The pickup at our hotel was convenient and helpful as we just wanted to relax on the drive. Mark also pointed out Hampton Court locations where “The Favourite” and “Bridgerton” filmed. Well worth the tour price.
