What are people saying about Kensington Gardens

Savannah_G, Sep 2026

Amazing experience

Started with a walk through the Kensington gardens. Our tour guide Paul was incredible so glad we had such an amazing guide. Then stopped for tea which was incredible great views great staff and even better tea and sweets! We ended up doing the tour of the palace as well which was amazing to walk through as well. Could not recommend this experience enough!

Douglas_R, Sep 2026

The whole experience was...

The whole experience was wonderful. Doug was an excellent tour guide and our tea service was lovely.

Deborah_V, Sep 2026

We actually picked this...

We actually picked this tour primarily for the High Tea but my family and I ended up loving the garden tour notwithstanding the heat waves' impact on the grass, etc. Our guide Barbara was very patient with our group's relentless photo taking. The afternoon tea at the Orangery following the tour of the gardens was very welcomed and enjoyable.

JEANNETTE_A, Jul 2026

Interesting tour but...

Interesting tour but little did I know that Kensington “gardens” is more like a park. Grasses, trees, ponds but no flowers which is what I think of when using the term “garden”

Carol_P, Aug 2026

Outstanding tour with attentive guide

The tour was well organized. Our guide met us near the tube station. It was easy to locate him. We walked through the garden and he gave excellent commentary throughout our visit. We were scheduled for tea and made sure we were in the right place. He verified out Palace entry tickets to make sure we had the correct ticket.

Krista_K, Jun 2026

Great experience for a fun and informative day out

This experience was so much fun! Paul, our guide, was super knowledgable and really catered to my family's interests during our tour. Even through blazing heat, he shared the beauty of Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace with us while making us laugh and stay as cool as possible. I would highly recommend this tour. And ask for Paul!

Holli_H, Aug 2026

The VIP experience is highly recommended and should not be missed.

Portia Booroff was an exceptional tour guide, offering a wealth of information while maintaining a warm and friendly demeanor. She truly created a VIP experience that we highly recommend. It was a delightful day for a stroll in the park, during which she shared extensive historical insights. The high tea experience was remarkable, characterized by its elegance and exquisite flavors.
