What You Will Do

The infamous Tudor dynasty has the stories: the love, the distrust, the conspiracies, the politics, and, of course, the executions. Retrace the footsteps of King Henry VIII and his wives at Hampton Court Palace. The words “I will love you for the rest of your life,” certainly make one consider the pressures on the women who caught the king’s eye. The Stuarts certainly did not wish to be outdone by the Tudors. King William III and Queen Mary II commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to build a new baroque palace. The state rooms and royal apartments provide a regal and intimate insight into how the royals lived during the Renaissance. Join an approved tour guide. From his reviews, you will see John has been delivering private tours to castles and historic places in South East England for many guests. Locations include Hever Castle, (former family home of Anne Boleyn), and Leeds Castle, (one of King Henry VIII’s castles and where his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, used to stay).
