This tour brings alive the story of the scandals and intrigues surrounding the Tudor Kings and Queens from Henry VII who ended the rule of the Plantagenet dynasty by defeating Richard III at Bosworth Field; his son Henry VIII (and his six wives).

Henry’s children: the sickly Edward VI who died so young; the tyrannical Mary I (known as Bloody Mary) who vowed to return the country to Rome and Catholicism and who married Philip of Spain; Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen) who upheld Protestantism in England; and not forgetting Lady Jane Grey who reigned for just nine days after the death of Edward VI.

The death of Elizabeth I in 1603 brought an end to the Tudor line. Our Groups will ‘walk in the footsteps’ of the Tudor monarchs, visit the places associated with them and experience what life would have been like in their times.

The footprint of the Tudors is visible across the whole of the country. For this reason, Ambient Tours has produced a number of unique packages to cater every interest.

Each package introduces an authentic flavour of Tudor times that is ‘brought alive’ through visits to the actual places where the key historical events took place and the background information provided by our experienced tour leaders assisted by specialist tour guides.

It is possible to mix elements of the recommended packages to produce a bespoke tour for Groups of 20 or more people.
