Review of Sarah Slater’s private Hampton Court Palace tour, with Tudor rooms, royal kitchens, gardens, pricing, timing, and practical advice.
“Sarah was an excellent tour guide for Hampton Court Palace. She ‘met me where I was’ in my knowledge of the palace and the history of the monarchy. She also spent time on the things I was interested in (the history, the architecture) and avoided the things I was less interested in (the art). She is very easygoing and accommodating. Would highly recommend Sarah for anyone wanting a more tailored visit.”
