Overview

Enjoy a private bespoke tour of Hampton Court Palace, the home of thirteen English monarchs, with an award-winning architectural historian.

Drawing on expertise built over many years working at the palace and writing about its history, I tailor my tours to your interests. I can offer an overview of the history of the palace and its most famous inhabitants – including Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I – or something more specific, such as a tour of the palace’s baroque architecture or many artistic treasures.

I pride myself on providing guests with stories about the palace which are not only fascinating, but well researched and accurate! As an historian, I keep up to date with the latest research and am able to share hidden gems and aspects of the palace's history that go unseen or are commonly misunderstood.

James was a really knowledgeable and informative guide. It was fascinating to hear about the rich history of Hampton Court Palace from someone who has taken the time to research it. We got the sense that he takes pride in his work and he answered all of our questions. We would thoroughly recommend his tour to anyone who wants a detailed insight into what life was like in Hampton Court through the ages.
