A Truly Exceptional Tour with Sheila at Hampton Court Palace

Published on Feb, 2025

I had the absolute pleasure of touring Hampton Court Palace with Sheila as our guide, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I had bought this experience for my Aunties birthday. From the moment we set off, it was clear that Sheila is not just knowledgeable but truly passionate about the history of the palace. She brought the stories of Henry VIII, his six wives, and the grandeur of the Tudor court to life with such vivid detail that we felt as if we had stepped back in time. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she had a wonderful way of engaging everyone in the group, ensuring no question went unanswered. What made the experience even more special was how Sheila went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible visit. Whether it was sharing extra anecdotes, pointing out hidden gems within the palace, or taking the time to personalize the tour to our interests, she made the day truly unforgettable. Hampton Court Palace is an extraordinary place, but having Sheila as a guide elevated it to a whole new level. If you’re planning a visit, I would highly recommend trying to join one of her tours—you won’t regret it! Thank you, Sheila, for a fantastic experience!

Incredible tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide Sheila was very knowledgeable about English history. She came highly recommended to us by family members who had taken her tour. Sheila presented history in an easy, non-overwhelming way. Her tour of Hampton Court Palace brought hundreds of years of history alive. I particularly enjoyed the photos she had of the monarchs over time. As she described events in history she referenced their photos thus putting a face to the historic event. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to better understand not only English history, but the history and changes Hampton Court Palace has seen over hundreds of years.
