Hampton Court palace is very nice. I’m glad I did this tour to know a little about its history. Too bad there was no guide who could narrate a little as an introduction of the palace just like the other tour Companies. It’s just the driver who was nice. It felt like it is not a tour, but, we rode on a coach bus from Victoria station to Hampton court palace on our own.
It was a dream of a lifetime to visit Hampton Court Palace. This was a great way to do it as transportation brought us there and back. Highly recommend.
Initially tried to board a massive, crowded coach but mercifully it was not my ride. The Andersen coach pulled up and our smiling guide, Danny, welcomed us all like family. I really liked the drop off point and “on our own “ tour. We had a wonderful time exploring the palace and grounds, then enjoyed a truly lovely lunch at the Mute Swan. Timing was perfect, Danny was punctual, and he took us back in our restful, relaxing coach, which had wonderful a/c. Highly recommend!
This is transportation to Hampton Court. Pickup was prompt going and returning. Dropoff is just steps from entrance. Would have liked some narration during the trip. There was no information offered about sights enroute.
Tour is self guided. It is a long walk from the bus to the entrance. It was wonderful to see Hampton Court, however I would have preferred a guide and drop off at the entrance.
Lovely day. Desmond was friendly and informative. An excellent driver. He and the group were on time. The coach was clean and air conditioned and comfortable. Hampton Court is full of history and beautiful paintings.
A convenient way to get to Hampton Court. The bus was nice and the ride was pleasant. We went on a Sunday, so note that the chapel is closed for services.
Once we got to Hampton Court my ticket would not scan so I had to get a manager to help me get in, the staff at Hampton Court were very gracious. I was very upset and embarrassed. The bus driver could not have cared less about the tour and only named a couple bridges as we drove by them. I thought for the amount of money we paid we could have got an operator with some enthusiasm. The windows and seats in the bus were filthy, I didn’t want to touch anything and then to get there and have my ticket not valid was beyond. I would have been better off taking the public transportation route. Never again Viator
Hampton Court Palace is a must. So much history and beauty. The flowers blooming by the entrance added a special touch to the picture.
A very enjoyable experience - A must do! Lovely drive to the Palace. Made getting there & back super easy .
