Garden tour was lovely, highly recommend. Do not recommend the tea for singles unless you want to do it alone - I booked this to be with a group and was isolated at the other end of the dining room by myself, and ignored by wait staff initially until I said something.
Very educational and fun! The Orangery was amazing as well.
This was a fun and educational experience. Doug was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating! We enjoyed this tour very much and would recommend it to anyone!!!

The walk through the park was so fun! Our tour guide Doug was wonderful! The tea we had was our favorite of the trip
Our tour guide, Doug, was phenomenal! We had such a great time learning about Kensington Gardens and really enjoyed our High Tea! Thank you for a wonderful visit!
What an amazing experience! Our tour guide, David, was an absolute delight as he led us on our walking tour of St. James, Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. He was very friendly and knowledgeable as he led us around the city. Our tour culminated with high tea at the gardens at Kensington Palace which was absolutely amazing. Besides being delicious, it was enjoyable listening to David school us in the finer points of British tea time manners and etiquette. I was a wonderful experience and I would very much go back and do it again if I get the chance. Bravo, David!
