Departure from London
Your countryside adventure begins with a convenient pickup directly from your London hotel or a central location of your choice. Relax in the comfort of your private, air-conditioned vehicle as you leave the capital behind and journey through the rolling green hills of Kent. As you travel, your expert guide will paint a vivid picture of the Boleyn family’s rise to power and the historic scandals that changed the course of British history forever.
Arrival at Hever Castle
Upon arrival, your guide will escort you across the historic drawbridge of this splendid double-moated fortress. Inside the castle, you will step into intimate, wood-paneled rooms containing rare Tudor portraits and priceless tapestries. Marvel at Anne Boleyn’s personal bedroom and view two magnificent historic Book of Hours prayer books, personally signed and inscribed by Anne Boleyn herself, bringing you incredibly close to the tragic queen's personal life.
Guided Walk of the World-Famous Gardens
Next, step outside with your guide to explore the breathtaking, award-winning grounds that spread across 125 acres. Wander through the majestic Italian Garden, designed to display a magnificent collection of classical Roman sculpture, and stroll alongside the peaceful giant lake. Your guide will take you through the vibrant Rose Garden and show you the historic Yew Maze, offering incredible angles and postcard-perfect photo opportunities at every turn.
Return to London
After a magical day immersing yourself in centuries of royal romance and stunning landscape design, reunite with your driver for a smooth return journey to London. Sit back and unwind in your private taxi as you head back to the city.
