Private Guided Tour of Hampton Court Palace USD 167.27. Hampton Court Palace is one of London’s most charismatic palaces, but as it’s half Tudor, half Baroque, unpicking its long history and architecture independently can take a lot of research. Your guide, a former state apartment warder, has worked at the palace for more than 15 years, and can cover everything from Henry VIII to ghosts to LGBTQ history or a child-friendly tour, depending on your group’s interests..

    We spent an amazing day at Hampton Court with Sheila as our very able guide. We felt that not only had we had a very thorough tour of the palace, we learned so much about the history and architecture. Tidbits of information we’re shared with us that could only have come from someone with much familiarity with Hampton Court and considerable experience as a tour guide. We felt very fortunate to have experienced Hampton Court with Sheila.

    We had a great time on this tour. Sheila was incredibly knowledgeable and her stories were fun and really interesting. I’m not a history buff and I thought I might be bored -but I was not!! Sheila really made Hampton Court a great experience.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour with Sheila. She began by asking us what we hoped to learn more about so that the tour was most meaningful to our interests. Sheila is a consummate professional, she is knowledgeable and is able to convey the rich and complex history of the site in an engaging story telling manner, we were riveted to the content the entire time! Thank you Sheila for providing one of our favorite experiences during our visit to London

    Sheila was very knowledgeable and we were able to cover a lot of this huge palace in a relatively short period of time. Leave yourself plenty of time afterwards to visit all of the beautiful gardens.

    Shiela Dunsmore is a fabulous guide. She brought Hampton Court to life!
    Interesting stories, intimate details and a depth of knowledge that is amazing. A bright personality that had other visitors listening in on our private tour. We recommend Shiela without hesitation.

  14. Jeannine_B

    Booking this tour made all the difference for us. We would have not learned even 10% of what we now know without Sheila. She made Hampton Court Palace come alive for us. Highly recommend! My 13 year old said this was an “11 out of 10 experience!”

  15. Linda_F

    Hampton Court Palace is remarkable and Sheila was an outstanding guide. What an incredible tour. We learned so much and had a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend having Sheila as your private guide as she is amazing. Her wealth of knowledge about HCP is immense and she is fun and engaging. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

  16. Sarah_W

    Shiela was amazing! She was able to paint a picture of what life was like at the castle over the centuries. She was a wonderful story teller and focused on the aspects that my Mom was especially interested in. We would highly recommend!

  17. Lorie_b

    If you are thinking about a private tour of Hampton Court just do it. Sheila brings history to life and besides being very knowledgeable she is a fantastic storyteller. Sheila is also very kind and she did everything in her power to make sure that I enjoyed my tour. I will give Sheila many more stars if I could.

  18. Brian_H

  19. Lisa_K

    Out of our month long stay in Europe, complete with loads of tours, this one stands out as the single best tour we did.
    Hampton Court may not be as famous as the Vatican or the Louvre, but this magical site should be on your list and this is the only tour you should consider. The stories were brought to life and my 15 year old, husband and I all left with greater knowledge and so much to share with one another. Book early cause you don’t want to miss this!

  20. Juanita_A

    My guide, Sheila Dunsmore, was marvelous. Very articulate, extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Her tour was so well done and I learned so much I would not have heard otherwise. She is a real jewel – and if you can book her as your guide, do so. After our 2.5-hour tour, I had plenty of time to revisit areas, walk around the gardens, ride the horse-drawn carriage, and see the Great Vine.
