Discover an intimate perspective on the history of Osborne through our winter guided tours of the house at no extra cost!

Join us from 11th November through to 15th March this winter for an extraordinary journey through time as you step into the grandeur of Osborne, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's beloved royal residence.

During these special guided tours, you will have the unique opportunity to delve deep into the stories and secrets of Osborne’s royal household. Uncover the hidden stories of this magnificent estate and gain insight into the roles that were essential for its prosperity. Our knowledgeable staff members, wearing what Thomas Newell, a former footman, and Mrs. Smith, a former housekeeper would have worn whilst they were servants at Osborne, are ready to answer any questions you may have.

The 10:00 slot will be an adapted quiet tour, taking place when the site is at its quietest, for those who may find larger groups overwhelming.

The 15:00 slot will be an adapted tour specifically for families.
