Jennifer_W, Jul 2026

Wonderful tour!

Wonderful tour of Kensington gardens. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. It was just us so he customized the tour. The tea at the orangery was delightful. Food and tea were delicious. We also added the Kensington palace and that was nice to do a self guided tour.

A beautiful experience

This was an absolutely lovely experience. Our tour guide, Doug was incredible. We viewed the grounds and learned the history of this Palace prior to enjoying our tea and treats. The scones were sensational and all of history behind this beautiful place made the experience so enjoyable. Having the personal touch of a private tour guide was a great bonus. We would highly recommend this experience and are so appreciative to Doug for making this afternoon so memorable for us.
