The tour guide Paul was very friendly and informative. He made the tour through the gardens fun whilst advising us of all the details surrounding all aspects of the gardens. The High Tea was nice, we made it special by purchasing a bottle of champagne, the staff in the Orangery were polite and friendly, supplying a good service. We added the Palace tour to our trip, which we enjoyed with the audio guide. Very interesting and enjoyable afternoon.
I gave my review on TripAdvisor and thought the tour guide did a very good job of it. Doug was very personable.
The tour guide was super knowledgeable not just about the history but where to stand for us to see all the changing of the guards . The high tea was so good the good 10/10
Our tour guide, Doug, was friendly and knowledgeable. He was also very personable with our small group. He listens well to each person and is very relatable. Later on, I passed by him on the way out and he asked how I enjoyed the tour of the place. I told him this tour was much better than Buckingham Palace Tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in it.
This was a great tour and so informational!! Learning about the many members of the Royal family that lived in Kensington palace was so fun and we loved hearing all the less known facts!! Such a great experience, would highly recommend!!

Wonderful walking tour through Kensington Park terminating at Kensington Palace and a lovely High Tea at the Orangery
Doug was a fantastic guide on our tour of Kensington Palace.. which included an informative tour of the Gardens ( my favorite part- seeing the famous Peter Pan statue ) English high tea, and inside Kensington Palace.. In my opinion, this tour is an essential part of any visit to London and Doug made this a memorable and informative tour. 5 stars!
Doug was an incredible guide who had extensive knowledge. We highly recommend the tour !!
