8 hour private car tour to see Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle with knowledgable driver-guide in Mercedes V Class executive minivan.
We start by driving through London to Hampton Court.
Enjoy a fully guided tour of Hampton Court Palace and see two Royal Palaces in one: Henry VIII's Tudor palace and the 17th century baroque Palace built King William III and Mary II.
This is a family friendly royal palace with a maze, an amazing art collection, Tudor kitchens, great exhibits and some of the finest gardens in the country.
Quick lunch stop (not included in tour cost).
We then drive to Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth II's favourite residence, to see the State Apartments used for official state and events and to wonder at St George's Chapel, QEII's final resting place.
Partially self guided visit to Windsor Castle with complimentary audioguide due to venue's guiding restrictions.
Not only two but in reality three royal palaces and 1,000 years of history in a day!

Our tour with Peter was very informative and we had a great time. We visited Hampton Court and Windsor Castle. The only negative comment is he didn’t plan time for a quick lunch and we were famished with all the walking. Communication was a little bad considering we had to stand in rain over twenty minutes trying to find him at Windsor Castle.

David was a great guide and the Mercedes minibus was extraordinarily comfortable. He picked us up from the airport and off we went to Windsor and Hampton Court Palace before taking us to our hotel. Great day!

Peter picked us up from our hotel promptly at the meeting time and took us to Hampton Court first. We had chosen the pre purchase ticket option and it was very efficient and easy - Peter told us about the history on the way, pointed out where to start and set us on our way. After we were finished at Hampton Court, we headed to Windsor Castle. Again, Peter shared the history while we drove, took us into the castle to the point where he was allowed and then set us on our way. The one-on-one private tour is a great option and exactly what we were looking for - a personalized experience that takes all of the guess work out of traveling and visiting highlights close to London.

This is our 4th time we have used a private tour guide in our travels abroad. All have been great but we must say this tour with Peter was the best experience we ever had! He was so personable it was delightful spending the day with him! We felt we made a friend! However his historical knowledge of Hampton Court, Windsor Castle and British history in general was amazing and he made the entire day remarkable! There was not a question he could not answer. He is exceptional in every way! I’m only sorry we could only express our satisfaction with this experience by only 5 stars! Peter is heads above 5 stars, more like 50 stars! He far exceeded our expectations! Much appreciation to such a fine and knowledgeable gentleman! Thank you!

Due to flight cancellations by AA we had to reschedule our tour, which was not easy, I’m sure, but David’s team handled it marvelously. Our blue badge guide, Oliver was superb in all the history and details that he included. He made it easy for us to fit in as much or as little as we wanted. Our driver, Ramon was very accommodating, as well, as we had to be dropped off at two different spots when the tour was over. All things considered, this tour was our very favorite part of our time in London and I highly recommend splurging on this!

David was informative and delightful as he drove us through the city to our destinations in luxury. He personally guided us at Hampton Court (allowed) with historical but never dull commentary. He took us as far into Windsor as he was allowed while pointing out directions and exit points to maximize our time inside. Weather and traffic were not our friends but David was and we highly recommend his services.

Excellent. It is not inexpensive to tour both castles in one day, but well worth it when you are short on time.
Tour operator is very knowledgable, respectful, organized and prepares you in advance to better appreciate each castle.

We took the trip to Windsor and Hampton Court. It was a 5 star experience.David the owner and tour guide for Bespoke England Tours, was so professional, organized and warm. He was extremely accommodating always checking in to make sure we were happy and comfortable throughout the tour. I am a professor and I could not help but notice that David is such a great teacher. He totally knows the history of the sites and explained everything in such an interesting and enthusiastic manner. We plan on booking all future tours outside of London with David. We had a disappointing tour with a different company in London that was a lot more expensive. I wish I had booked with David. I will be recommending David’s company to anyone I know traveling to the London area!

What a great day! We have mobility problems, and David went out of his way to adapt the tour to meet our needs. He is extremely warm, kind and knowledgeable and we look forward to having him as a tour guide again.

Just getting back from 3 weeks in Europe and finally had a moment to leave this review. Our preference on vacation is for private tours versus buses full of people. David provided that and more. He was amazing! He even took my call (at night) to make sure we were all set. David was friendly, accommodating and attentive. We appreciated his insight throughout and would highly recommend any of his tours. He was sensitive to the fact that we were traveling with first-timers, my in-laws, and adjusted our pace and tour accordingly. Our day was well-planned, and this enabled us to enjoy our time and avoid as much of the crowds as possible. We have already referred his services to other people and will certainly call him when we return. See you next time!! Thanks for a memorable experience.
