Castello di Hever - La perla nascosta dell'Inghilterra
Descrizione
A parte la sua storia affascinante, Hever è solo un posto bellissimo e intrigante dove trascorrere del tempo. Oltre ad essere al centro di un evento che ha cambiato per sempre la storia inglese, è stata la sede della nostra prima parlamentare donna in assoluto e si trova in una delle nostre contee più pittoresche. Hever non è solo un castello ma una casa, sia per i Tudor che per il milionario americano William Waldolf Astor, un uomo che sa una o due cose su come vivere bene.

Itinerario
Risalente al 1270, Hever è una gemma di un castello che un tempo era la casa di famiglia di Anna Bolena, seconda moglie di Enrico VIII e luogo che il re visitò durante il corteggiamento. Fu confiscato durante la caduta e l'esecuzione della povera Anne e nel corso dei secoli andò gradualmente in rovina fino a quando non fu salvato e restaurato da William Waldorf Astor nel 1903. Questo gioiello è magnificamente incastonato nel Kent, spesso chiamato Il Giardino d'Inghilterra, in mezzo a giardini meravigliosamente tenuti e protetto dai predoni dal suo fossato, sede di enormi carpe koy. Una volta attraversato il ponte levatoio, possiamo vagare per i suoi corridoi, gallerie, camere da letto e corridoi e goderne l'esperienza com'era sia ai tempi dei Tudor sia come vissuta dagli Astor, che vivevano qui in un modo che si addiceva all'albergatore milionario che era sposata con Nancy Astor, la prima donna a sedere alla Camera dei Comuni. I giardini stessi sono un'attrazione e spesso ospitano eventi straordinari come giostre, (vedi foto) falconeria, musica, teatro e fiere dell'artigianato.

Mark was absolutely an amazing tour guide on the ride and at Hever castle. He was very knowledgeable and we loved this experience.
Mark was a wonderful tour guide. We had a wonderful day. I have been wanting to go see Hever Castle for 15 years and this tour and Mark fulfilled every expectation. Mark was friendly and informative and I would recommend him highly.
Amazing experience! Gareth was super kind, a great conversationalist, and was able to give information about everything we passed by, not just the castle and had a great time. He was extremely gracious about taking pictures and encouraged me to ask him! Really appreciated him helping make memories and photos to send a loved ones.
Unbelievable experience! Hever castle was on my bucket list due to its history with the Boleyn family. It did not disappoint! The area and grounds are like stepping into a postcard—absolutely beautiful. Mark made the experience so much better with his knowledge and expertise (not just in the Tudor period—across history). The tour felt more than a tour with wonderful discussions and interesting topics covered. Our 4-year old son was along for the tour and enjoyed it greatly with a great affinity to Mark 😊 This tour was even more amazing than I could’ve imagined—I can’t recommend it (and Mark especially) highly enough!
Mark took us on a wonderful day exploring Anne Boleyn's ancestral home! Mark was an enthusiastic and great guide and we really enjoyed learning about the restoration of the Castle and building of the gorgeous gardens, exploring the Tudor remnants (see Henry's lock in the pictures attached), and even going to lunch in a historic local pub. Highly recommend the tour operator and the excursion.
I tried contacting a few other companies for car service for 1 day, no response. But when I reached out to Mark he responded quickly and had several helpful suggestions for planning our day (like advance ticket purchase). We were picked up from Heathrow Sofitel promptly in a very nice car and the 4 of us went to Hever Castle. It was nice talking with him about life and history as we drove along. We had been there before and Mark was very flexible about timing and letting us visit our favorite spots again. We were able to stay longer that day and as an added bonus, Mark very generously offered to bring 2 of our party to their hotel near St. Pancras Station. This was a huge relief since they would have had to transport on their own in the evening. Would totally recommend and have him saved as a contact :)
Hi Krista, I was very glad to aid your return to the wonderful Hever Castle. You were all great company and I was happy to drop the girls off on my way home. Going the extra mile is what we are all about :) I look forward to your next trip over with anticipation
This tour was incredible. Mark was our guide, and he was the absolute best. He took all of our considerations and catered the tour to our preferences. I enjoy ghost stories, and this castle has a lot. Mark knew so many fun and fabulous things. On top of all of it there was a jousting tournament on the property and that just blew our minds. We were able to take pictures, Mark shared his knowledge about the history, and we would not change this experience for the world. This tour was a 10 out of 10.
It was such a pleasure to take you :) Those jousting guys really go at it don't they!? History photography and people are my passion and so as I think I may have said, I have the best job in the world.
