Book the private tour! YOLO.

Doug was an excellent guide, he offered lots of insight & details but was also willing to adjust the tour to our interests & expectations. The high tea & The Orangery was absolutely lovely. And the Kensington Palace tour was indeed a pleasure using the self guided audio device.
