This was the first palace I have ever visited and it was amazing! The opulence of life at that time is amazing! The artistry of the tapestries is unbelievable! I was staying in Kingston and took the bus which dropped off right across the street from the main gate. It was very easy to navigate the bus system. Important note: There is a lot of walking on the site. The palace is set back far from the road and there many beautifully preserved staircases to climb. I am 70+ and asked the ticket agent for suggestions on "must sees" knowing my capabilities. She was a great help! The audio tour is excellent. It gives very specific turn by turn descriptions. Every staff member I encountered was very gracious and helpful. It was impossible for me to see everything in my 3 hour visit, but it was well worth my time. I highly recommend it for adults. As an American, I don't think it would be a wise choice for American children who have limited or no knowledge of Royal history.

Visiting the food festival.
We all love visiting this palace and doing the audio tours of the different apartments. The main reason that we visited this time was to go to the food festival which we have previously visited and had an amazing time. This visit definitely did not disappoint. I booked the tickets in advance online and it was easy just to go straight into the gardens to access the festival. all of the stalls were brilliant and the food was delicious. I was especially pleased that The Pimms teapot was at the event again. I was delighted to see that the lovely lady who makes the beautiful Brownies from short and sweet Bakery was also present. The music was also really good this year. it was busy, but not too busy. We had a great time, thank you.

Hampton Court
Very good. Well worth a visit. Gardens a little worse for wear due to the like of rain. Staff on site very helpful. Bring your own lunch as options limited and expensive.

Go with a guide.
A must to go on. We were fortunate our tour included a private guide for this. The place was amazing as well as the guide (Daniel) It was a four hour tour including getting there and back and it was worth it. With a wheelchair we got to see a couple of things normally not seen. Guide added a lot of information we would not have known without him.

Tudor history brought to life
A highlight of our London vacation! The audio guide was very helpful and would recommend to really learn about each room and the Tudor history that took place in the palace. Bonus was learning about the Georgian history and see the room in the Baroque section of the palace. We ate at the cafe and enjoyed that too.

Private Guided tour
We were a group of 30 and we did the private tour with Sheila. She was a amazing, her energy and charisma made the the tour very memorable. She tailored the tour to us, based on our questions and interest. We would most definitely recommend going to the palace doing the tour!

Henry VIII did well
A good day out in a well preserved palace and gardens. Maze is good and shouldn't be missed. Catering prices a little high. Audio guide useful.

Take A full day to...
Take A full day to experience all the palace and gardens. Although we had no children in our party, they had plenty to engage the youngsters
