Best tour ever! - We had a wonderful, personal tour with Pamela. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and has become a friend to us. We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our tour of Kensington Palace, gardens, and tea in the Orangery.

Kensington Palace with high tea - We literally had a private tour with Michael since we were the only ones who had signed up for the tour that day. Very knowledgeable and personable. We had a nice visit over high tea. Loved the little sandwiches and the scones with clotted cream and preserves.

Great tour of Kensington Palace and grounds. Afternoon Tea lacking - Philip Sinclair was a wonderful guide. Small group (in fact just the 2 of us). He was very informative and shared current as well as historical information about Kensington Palace and grounds. The did a wonderful tour inside the house with audio guides while showing 4 different exhibits. I was a bit disappointed with the tea. Beautiful setting but the afternoon tea was pretty ordinary. From the description I expected something more.
