Royal Palaces Pass: Kensington Palace, Hampton Court and Tower of London
London, United Kingdom
Book in advance and jump the queue at the Tower of London, Hampton Court and Kensington Palace. Don't waste time waiting in lines on vacation! Your pass is valid for one visit to each attraction and is valid for two years. You'll have plenty of time to explore the stories and intrigues at each site at your leisure, as part of your own itinerary.
Tower of London Home to the Crown Jewels, the Tower of London reverberates with dark secrets, where priceless jewels glint in fortified vaults and pampered ravens strut the grounds. Founded by William the Conqueror in 1066, and enlarged and modified by successive sovereigns, the Tower of London is one of the world's most famous and spectacular fortresses. Discover its 900-year history as royal palace and fortress, prison and place of execution, mint, arsenal, menagerie and jewel house. Hampton Court Palace Flamboyant King Henry VIII developed this majestic palace after acquiring it in the 1520s. The palace has fabulous furnishings, tapestries and paintings, and is set in formal gardens, which include the famous maze and Great Vine. Kensington Palace Generations of royal women have shaped this stylish palace and elegant gardens, from Queen Mary to Victoria, and more recently, Diana, Princess of Wales. Today, the palace also houses a stunning collection of fashionable formal dress worn for state and royal occasions.
Im only disappointed because I wanted more about other Royals who lived in the Palace. They showed nothing about The Kents, Princess Margaret and not as much of Princess Diana that I was expecting. The exhibit of Princess Diana s clothes was beautiful. The artifacts from Queen Victoria were wonderful. The gardens were gorgeous. It is worth seeing.

Well worth the money! Hampton is worth a visit. Hampton provides a free audio tour that give great history! Tower of London's audio tour is worth it to me, again gives great history regarding the building.
Review by: Krystyna L, January 2018
Excellent value for money. We liked the fact that we were not tied to any specific day. These were the 3 best palaces for us, where we could go inside and feel the atmosphere. I loved the fact that we could pay ahead in our currency.

Have experienced this tour on 2 occasions. Coming from Australia where we have only a very short history it is an amazing experience to visit such magnificent structures. The Tower of London ranks very highly on the greatest places I have been fortunate enough to visit.

Enjoyed the experience but did not enjoy having my 3 course lunch being delivered to the table in a metal shopping basket all at once, even if it was supposed to be a picnic lunch.
Review by: sdebbie, December 2017
This is not a fast pass/ front of the line pass at all. We still had to wait in line and purchase tickets and then enter just like everyone else. When lI asked the Tower of London about this, they said they cannot offer fast passes because everyone goes through a security check.

Excellent deal-saves time and hassle, highly recommend
Review by: Darren B, November 2017
Tower of London was excellent great value lots to see 5 stars kensington Palace was a let down after the Tower loved the Lady Di dresses but only 2 stars unfortunately didn't get to Hampton court
Review by: brigathom, October 2017
It is impossible to get to all three places in one day. They are not close in proximity and London has a huge traffic issue. We were only able to make three of ghe two. This isn't a good value.

This tour was amazing!

Absolutely fantastic!!
Review by: sharon_h_moore, September 2017
Tower of London and Kensington Palace were thrilling, easy to find, and self-paced tour was sufficient. Hampton Court was too far away and needed more coordination, introduction, and explanation
Review by: Bianka B, August 2017
The Tower was nice but Kensington was really nothing to see. Lots of travel not worthy.
Review by: Lynn W, August 2017
THIS IS A PASS, NOT A TOUR. KENSINGTON PALACE IS OK, NOT GREAT. THE TIME AND COST IF TAXI IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. TO GET TO ALL 3 SITES. WE WOULD, IF WE DID IT AGAIN, WOULD BE JUST TO BUY A TOWER OF LONDON PASS. WE COULD MISS THE OTHER TWO SITES.
Review by: Everett M M, August 2017
Tower of London and Hampton Court were well worth the price of the pass. Kensington was a let down after having gone to Hampton Court prior to Kensington. I would recommend that you go to Hampton Court last if you are really into the palaces....of course nothing out does the Tower of London.
Review by: Lgierbolini2000, July 2017
IT was great having tickets to all there places upfront. Price seemed fair too.
Review by: Lisa C, July 2017
Great rate- up to two years to visit all palaces. I saw tower of london and kensington palace in the same day. Planning to make it back for Hampton Court someday!
Review by: Michelle C, July 2017
Great way to see all three for a good price! Lots of history and will learn a lot!
Review by: derek.revait, June 2017
Did each of these on separate days. Each is well worth the visit. Hampton Court is about an hour by subway and train but well worth the trip. The green District Line subway takes you to Wimbledon which is the last stop on that line. You then walk a short way to get on National Rail Service to Hampton Court. At the end of this line you exit platform, turn left, walk over a small bridge and Hampton Court is right there. This was our favourite of all three places, although each was very good in their own right. We did not purchase any transportation in advance such as Oyster Cards. We purchased one day tickets for 12.3 pounds each. This allowed us to take the subways, train and buses all day. If you're there for probably at least 3 days or more, there may even be a cheaper multiple day option. To get to the Tower of London you need to take the Yellow Cicle Line subway to Tower Hill exit. You can see the Tower Of London as soon as you exit the subway station.

Good tour. It's basically a self directed tour. Your just buying adavanced tickets.
Review by: Grant H. M, April 2017
This pass was a good way to see the three areas. We saw them over the course of a week although the tickets were good for much longer. What I would change: The instructions to get to Hampton Court were good, but it would have been very helpful to know how long it would take by tube and bus to get there. We left our hotel with 3 hours to get to the last tour time at Hampton Court. Unfortunately, it took us the full three hours to get there. The bus ride alone was over an hour and there were lots of stops along the way. We were able to visit the bookstore at Hampton Court before it closed and enjoyed walking in the beautiful gardens around the palace.
Review by: Dino A, December 2016
The tickets read and printed, last entry 5pm Tower of London. as we approached a little after 4pm the guard who accepts tickets said, they lied to you as he laughed. 4pm is the last entry. We bought this and never were granted entry. Also this time of the year there are no lines, so better to buy at location. It would have saved quite a bit on the price paid here.
Review by: Nicholas S, December 2016
Great self tour of Kensington palace. Saw a lot._br/_ The Tower of London was also great._br/_ You will have to pay extra for Guided tours.
Review by: Tom R, November 2016
Nice..Missed out on Hampton Court due to change in our itinerary. Changing of the guard was happening so had to wait around almost 2.5 hours for this to occur. Rather had gone to Hampton Court. The changing of the guard ok, but if we go again, best place to see changing of guard is on the sides of the road, not under statue in front of Buckingham Palace....Also, if you want to be at the gate at Buckingham Palace, show up four hours in advance maybe 5 to get view inside the gate.
Review by: Molly M, October 2016
Loved visiting these places! Friendly staff and fascinating history, plus gorgeous gardens. The pass was familiar to all employees of each place, though it took some finagling to clear everything.
Review by: asadas, October 2016
Excellent tour
Review by: Jeff B R, September 2016
The communication to us of the logistics of this trip was very poor. We did not understand and it was not clear that we were supposed to go first to the Tower of London where we would pick up our passes for all the locations. We then would, I believe, have one year or two years to visit all three locations. As it was, since we did not receive these instructions, we went first to Hampton Court, and then to the Tower. These sites are very far apart and there really wasn't enough time to fit in both in one day but that's what we tried to do. All the locations are fantastic and I highly recommend them, but the communication from Viator was very poor and could easily be rectified. I even went back and read through the information sent to me and it said nothing about going to the Tower first to pick up our passes.
Review by: mistymae515, September 2016
This is a great option because you don and #39;t have to plan ahead for when exactly to visit. It worked great for my family. We knew we wanted to see them all just dod not want to have every minute scheduled.
Review by: Sarit, August 2016
We LOVED Hampton Court, it had so much to see and we felt that we needed more time there. Kensington Palace was interesting but did not keep us around for long. The Tower of London was interesting and it was great to listen to the Beefeater who made the place worth coming to. We were done at the Tower of London in less than two hours.
Review by: Bradley W, July 2016
Hampton Court Palace is incredible. Lots to see and do!
Review by: Bruce R, July 2016
Having the ability to visit a different venue every day was great. We were able to use the weather as our guide.
Review by: Holly C, July 2016
This was an excellent group pass. Hampton Court was wonderful and had free audio tours. However, I do not recommend going to the Tower of London on a Sunday in summer. It was very crowded, so I gave up on the Guard tour and just purchased an audio tour. The crown jewels are spectacular. Also, in order to view the armor which is amazing one has to walk up all four flights of the White Tower and the guards would not allow one to use the down staircase -- a long trek up and down. I did not go to Kensington Palace, but may if I go back again as the pass is good for a long time.
Review by: Alice G, July 2016
Ok
Review by: Melanie S, July 2016
Plan to spend at least a half day at Hampton Court. It is lovely and worth the 45 minute train ride. The Tower of London was my favorite and the Beefeater tour is a must and we loved John McDonald, our yeoman warder (Beefeater). Plan to spend 1/2+ day there, so much to see and an audio tour also.
Review by: Nancy L, June 2016
To be honest, I only made it to the tower of London which was amazing. The tickets are good for two years do I can go back later to finish the tour. I like that this was not structured because sometimes it is hard to tour on someone and #39; else and #39;s timeline.
Review by: Bill L, June 2016
you did not say how hard ir was to get there. did not go
Review by: Kathy H, June 2016
The Tower of London was Fantastic ! Definitely a must do. We were fortunate enough to get there at opening. We saw the Crown Jewels with only a few people in the room! Please be sure to take the Yeoman Warder guided tour. It was truly enjoyable. These gentlemen are incredibly knowledgeable and very funny! We traipsed through the rain and it was all worth while !
Review by: Robert A, May 2016
We enjoyed visiting the areas on our own, but the various castle entrances were not familiar with the tour. We also had to turn in our voucher for other types of tickets and were unaware of this, which caused some extra time standing in line. Using the underground and train system to get to the various castles was easy.
Review by: Miriam Eileen B, December 2015
We enjoyed this tour very much!
Review by: Rodney W, November 2015
Love the history of this place. Well worth the train ride. Chapel is breathtaking.
Review by: Greg G, October 2015
The Hampton court was great. Ended up spending the entire day there. Tower of London was an important tour. Kensington Palace was ok, but not that great. Buying the tickets in advance, does help to allow faster access.
Review by: Martin A, October 2015
We loved the this pass, its best asset is the flexiblilty you get to set your own pace
Review by: tony, October 2015
It was nice to experience the old haunts of Henry VIII and Ann Boelyn.
Review by: Stephen S, October 2015
We did a compare and contrast by seeing Versailles earlier in the same week we visited Kensington Palace - vividly clear that the French were the wealthier, more powerful nation. Kensington located in a beautiful large park amid the bustle of London. Unlike Versailles, not crowded and well curated display of royal dresses in the 20th century. Unfortunately, didn't make it to Hampton Court. Tower of London a mob scene but the crowd control and information displayed at the Crown Jewels adult level and well done.
Review by: conrosm, October 2015
All of these passes were great and it was great being able to go when we wanted and at time was convenient. I would recommend it to everyone.
Review by: Danielle R, October 2015
I couldn't contact anyone with questions as to where Hampton Court was located and how to get there. I was only able to use this pass for Tower of London as Kensington Palace closed before we got to it and we didn't realize Hampton Court was outside of London. That part was confusing as both of the others were inside the city. Hampton Court was also the one I wanted to see most. Make sure you have enough time to see them and for a trip outside the city.
