WINDSOR & HAMPTON COURT PALACE Tour #12 Full-day excursion
Windsor Castle - We arrive in time to see the Changing of the Guard*. In the recently re-opened State Apartments, damaged after a fire, we see fine furniture, suits of armour and masterpieces by Rubens, Van Dyck and Canaletto. If the State Apartments** are closed we will see Queen Mary’s Dolls House.
Hampton Court Palace - Built by Cardinal Wolsey it was given to Henry VIII. In the State apartments, we see one of the finest collections of tapestries and paintings in Europe. There is time to see the sunken gardens, featuring England’s oldest tennis court and the notorious maze. Your guide will also point out the Tudor Kitchens.
Cruise on the River - At Hampton Court we board a Thames Cruiser to enjoy a slow meander along the River Thames. We disembark at Kingston upon Thames where we re-board our coach for the journey back to London.
*At certain times during the summer, there may not be a Changing of the Guard.** Occasionally the State Apartments are closed, on these occasions a 5% discount will be offered.
