And what a giveaway it was.
More than 9,000 Tudor history lovers from across the globe entered, hoping for the chance to win a fully hosted place on one of our most immersive and emotionally rich journeys through the life of Anne Boleyn. From the UK to Australia, from Europe to North America, your entries poured in and left us genuinely humbled.
It is proof, if any were needed, that the world is still full of people who care deeply about Tudor history, about places, and about the extraordinary human stories that unfolded within them.
And nowโฆ the moment weโve all been waiting for.
โจ The Winner Isโฆ Susan Gersch (USA) โจ
We are thrilled to announce that the winner of our Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn tour giveaway is:
Susan Gersch from the United States

Susan will be joining us in England in September 2026 for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Anne Boleynโs dramatic rise to power and her devastating fall. From royal palaces to intimate personal spaces, from glittering courtly triumphs to the shadowed walls of the Tower of London, Susan will be stepping directly into Anneโs world with us.
When we told Susan she had won, this was her reaction:
“Thank you to Simply Tudor Tours for offering the chance to join them onย The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleynย tour. Iโm still having a hard time believing I actually won a spotโit feels surreal in the best way. My husband will be joining me, and weโre both truly excited to explore the places where Anne Boleyn once lived and to experience the history weโve only read about. We canโt wait to meet the group and soak in every moment of what promises to be an unforgettable adventure.”
We cannot wait to welcome her into the Simply Tudor Tours family and to share this extraordinary experience together
Thank You to Our Tudor-Loving Community
To everyone who entered, we want to say this from the heart: thank you.
Over 9,000 people took part. That is not just a number. That is 9,000 individuals who love Tudor history enough to dream of walking its landscapes, standing where history happened, and sharing that passion with others.
We were overwhelmed by the scale of the response, and deeply moved by the messages that accompanied so many entries. You reminded us why we do what we do.
This giveaway wasnโt just about winning a place on a tour. It was about celebrating a global community of people who care about the past and want to experience it in a meaningful, human way.
