A favorite summer home of King Henry VIII, Hampton Court Palace is an opulent fusion of architectural styles.

The second stop on your tour will take you to Windsor Castle, the ancestral home of the British Royal family and the largest continuously occupied castle in Europe. Step inside St George’s Chapel, the site of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018, and where the tombs of several previous monarchs are located.
