About the Tour
This self-led audio described tour takes you around the first floor of the Tudor World exhibition, which takes place in some of the oldest rooms at Hampton Court Palace: the Wolsey rooms. Listen to this tour on your own device, either at home or during your visit to the palace.
A narrator guides you through the tour. First, they visually describe each painting; then, you will hear interviews providing more information. At the end of each track, the narrator will give directions to the next stop.
There is the option to speed up the audio and to download each track. A full transcript of the tour can be found at the bottom of the page.
The tour begins in Base Court, the first courtyard after the entrance.
