Still Laid Out Exactly as the Romans Left It. One Hour from Southampton.
Fishbourne is quietly extraordinary. Beneath a single roof near Chichester lies the largest Roman home ever found in Britain, its floors still set with the mosaics the Romans walked on almost two thousand years ago. Most people have no idea it is here.
The Cupid on a Dolphin mosaic is the anchor of the visit: the grandest of the largest collection of in-situ mosaics in the country, viewed from raised walkways that let you take in the full design. Around them, the museum traces how the palace was built, lost for centuries, and found again beneath an ordinary Sussex field.
Step outside and the grounds open up. The formal garden has been replanted to its original Roman plan, the earliest known garden in the land, and Chichester, the harbour and Arundel all sit within easy reach. A morning at the palace folds neatly into a full and unhurried day.

What You're Actually Paying For
Door-to-Door from Southampton
Under an hour on the A27 from Southampton, delivered to the doors of Fishbourne Roman Palace without the multi-storey car park ritual. We know exactly where to drop you.
No Group. No Timetable
The mosaics, the museum and the garden, in whatever order suits you. Linger over the Cupid on a Dolphin floor or step straight back outside. Nobody else’s itinerary to accommodate.
A Chauffeur Who Knows the Route
Ask us the quietest time to arrive, the best spot nearby for lunch, or whether to pair the palace with Chichester or Arundel. You’ll get a straight, local answer.
The Journey Home is Part of It Too
A day among ancient floors should end gently. Settle into a climate-controlled cabin with chilled water and let the Sussex countryside slip by while someone else watches the road.
Your Carriage Awaits
Every vehicle is immaculate, climate-controlled, and stocked with refreshments. Choose by group size or preference, all come with a professional chauffeur included.

Your Fishbourne Roman Palace Tour Questions, Answered
How long does the whole tour take?
Fishbourne sits around half an hour to an hour from most Hampshire and West Sussex pickups, so guests usually choose either a half day of roughly five hours or a full day of around eight. Most people spend about two hours at the palace itself, which leaves comfortable time for the mosaics, the museum and the garden, and room to add somewhere nearby on a full day.
Is it really just our group in the car?
Yes. Every tour is completely private. The car is yours alone, with no strangers and no shared seats, from the moment we collect you to the moment we drop you home.
Are the admission tickets included?
Our price covers your private chauffeur and car. Palace admission is booked separately so you are never paying for tickets you do not need, and we are glad to help you arrange them in advance so you can walk straight in.
Can you collect us from the Southampton cruise terminal and get us back in time?
We do this often. We will meet you at the terminal, look after you all day at Fishbourne and nearby, and build the timings around your ship’s all-aboard so you return with margin to spare.
Can we add Chichester or Arundel to the day?
Absolutely. Fishbourne pairs beautifully with the cathedral city of Chichester just minutes away, or with Arundel Castle and Cathedral a short drive west. Tell your chauffeur what appeals and we will weave it into the route.
Is the site suitable for guests with limited mobility?
It is generally well suited. The site is largely level with step-free access to the museum, the main mosaic area, the café and the film theatre, and there is on-site parking close to the entrance. Let us know your needs when you enquire and we will plan a comfortable, unhurried visit and choose the right vehicle for easy access.
