Review of the VIP Kensington Palace Gardens Tour and Royal Tea, with palace access, Princess Diana sites, guide tips, price, and practical advice.
“Our Kensington Palace tour with Mike was absolutely wonderful. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the history to life in a way that felt personal and easy to follow. You could tell he truly loves what he does, and that made the experience even more special. Ending the tour with tea at the Orangery was the perfect touch — a beautiful, relaxing setting that allowed us to soak in everything we had just learned. It felt elegant without being stuffy and was a lovely way to slow down and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend this experience if you want history, insight, and a classic London memory all wrapped into one.”

“The best part of the tour was our guide Simon. What a treasure. So knowledgeable, funny and kind. Worth every penny! The gardens were lovely and my favorite thing was the Peter Pan Statue. It was a long walk but the weather was glorious and Simon kept us entertained. The tea at the Orangery was very nice.”

Cycle 8 miles through Bushy Park and along the Thames on a small-group Hampton Court bike tour with palace views and local history.
“Beautiful ride through the palace park. Horrible equipment, old bicycles in disrepair, tires not properly inflated. Guide was nice but difficult to understand, spoke way too fast even after being asked to slow down. There was very little information given about the grounds, history & sites we passed along the way.”
Tour Kensington Gardens with a private guide, then enjoy palace Orangery tea, sandwiches, scones, cakes, and a drink.
“Our guide, Barbara Ann, was a real delight. Was so kind to bring us both water and took the time to learn a bit about us before the tour. She was very informative and felt more walking with a friend than a tour guide. Oh, the tea was a delight too. The Orangery was very pretty.”
