Entrada para o Palácio de Blenheim

Glad I managed to get a blue light discount as it made for a great value day, had we paid full price I’m not too sure. Didn’t help we visited on a rather wet day but nothing can be done about that. Staff were all very friendly and very knowledgeable. Information boards in each room were brilliant, we couldn’t get the guided tour via our phones to walk so just asked questions to staff in the rooms who were more than happy to help. Did expect a little more of inside the Palace to be open on display but what was open was great, especially the Churchill exhibition which was very interesting. Sadly even though we ventured into the ground in the rain most of the water features were empty and felt it was a little neglected (unless it’s undergoing refurbishment, but no signage to indicate such). The butterfly farm was amazing and such a wonderful surprise. All in all a good few hours out (we visited 99%) and managed it in around 4 hours so definitely not a full day. Will visit again but maybe when there is an event on.

Emma is a good tour guide she was so helpful

Nice day out amazing palace with a lot of history to it..beautiful surrounding gardens . You need some time to get around it all but it is worth the visit

There was only one charging point for two cars on the Blenheim car park which was a fair walk to come back to allow another car to charge. We really enjoyed the day. The grounds cover a large area so comfy shoes would be a good idea. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The building is spectacular. One can wander around for a long time and not get tired of looking at the pictures, tapestries, furnishings. The tours really enhance the experience. We did one talking about the connections to royalty and one on life below stairs. Fascinating

I really enjoyed my visit, the tickets are a bit pricey but you could easily spend the whole day there so I think it's worth it. The palace is stunning, a bit of scaffolding due to restoration/preservation work but that didn't spoil it for me. The inside was interesting & didn't take too long. I particularly liked learning about how the palace was built & seeing the clothing displayed. Outside was so beautiful, though some of the grass & plants were suffering a bit in the heat like everywhere else. Lovely walks around the gardens & by the lake. Beautiful old trees along the route & I especially loved the Grand Cascade ❤️ 😍.

Blenheim Palace was fantastic but the booking through Tripadvisor was very poor. The tickets didn't come through and on the day itself I had to call to get access. That cost us half an hour of our precious holiday day. Furthermore, it would have been useful if it was clearly indicated where the shooting of Harry Potter had taken place. Couldn't find that now.

Disappointed that we couldn’t visit upstairs. And I was not notified of the works on going

Great Place for Churchill fans to visit for 2 hours. Easy to follow inside and outside route. Learned a lot about the Churchill family. Recommend!

Excellent experience-worth every penny to have a private driver especially one as terrific as David Wilshaw. He was very knowledgeable, professional and charming.
