Hampton Court Palace with a Blue Badge guide in an Executive Vehicle

We had the good fortune to book two tours with Tours by Locals, and specifically with Alexander. Everything about this tour was first class and well worth the money. Alexander is an exceptional guide and the knowledge he provides gives you the type of context that every sightseer craves. He is always ready to provide interesting bits of information that gives you the context needed to give you a full understanding of what you’re seeing. Use this company with full confidence and absolutely seek out Alexander if he’s available. No doubt you will have a memorable experience as we did.

This was our second tour with Alexander. Both of his tours were the highlights of the trip. He made them effortless excursions into history, Alexander is very personable as well as knowledgeable. Strongly recommend that you consider this tour

Alex is great! He recommended Hampton Court and it was FANTASTIC! My husband is recovering and has to use a wheelchair. Alex not only knew the handicapped route, he actually pushed the wheelchair all over that huge palace! He's so thoughtful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him! Tallie & Jimmy

Alexander was an amazing guide for our tour of Hampton Court. He was extremely knowledgeable about Henry VIII and life at Hampton Court. I am very inquisitive and asked him many questions that he was able to answer. We also talked about many things British besides Hampton Court and Henry VIII that he was able to talk with us about. We both shared books and documentaries with each other. Wonderful experience,

Our group had an incredibly enjoyable time discovering Hampton Court with Alex, and we all agree that he went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. His vast knowledge and enthusiasm for history made the tour not only captivating but also very educational. In addition to his expertise, he was friendly, approachable, and had a great sense of timing when it came to adding humor to the tour. The blend of these essential qualities guarantees an unforgettable and enriching experience you won't forget!

My group of 4 Americans was very impressed by Alex on our trip to Hampton Court. He is prompt, pleasant, a good driver, and very well informed. Our group are elderly, met in high school and have friends ever since. We were taught lots of English history, and happily we remember a lot of it. Alex exceeded our expectations and we had a very good day. We would hire him again.
