Start your day with a panoramic bus tour of London as you see the city's most iconic landmarks.

Once you arrive at Hampton Court Palace, be welcomed by an expert palace host who will give you some information before setting you on your way to explore inside. A royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, Hampton Court Palace was built in 1515. In 1530, Henry VIII took charge of Hampton Court and turned it into a hotel, theatre, and a huge private playground to showcase his wealth. Walk through and admire the magnificence of the State Rooms, Tudor Kitchens, and more. Don't forget to wander the gorgeous gardens and find your way through the oldest surviving maze in the world. Known to be a weekend favorite residence of the Royal Family, Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Also a favorite castle of Henry VIII, the castle is now home to his tomb along with Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II, and many more royals. Wander through the stunning State Apartments and take a look at St George’s Chapel, where Harry and Meghan married. Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is a must-see, with hot and cold running water, electricity, and tiny items made by 1,500 of the finest craftspeople of the 20th century.
