Touring with three kids under 10. - Doug, our tour guide was very well informed, thoughtful of our children by providing a playground for them while we walked the grounds, and made certain we had our tickets to enter Kensington Palace after tea. Definitely recommend!

The experience of a lifetime - “ When in London” was the theme of my visit to England. High tea at Kensington Palace - Are you even kidding me — who knew this was a thing??? The connection with the organizer was excellent and instructions were very clear on where to meet. Our tour guide Doug, was friendly, pleasant, VERY knowledgeable and accommodating. The garden walk was superb with so much information and interesting facts that Doug shared. We chose the short walk and were not able to actual see the front of Kensington because of current renovations - this did not detract from the tour. Doug share recent history, past history, royal history, gardening and tree facts. He acted as our photographer making sure we had all the shots for the memories. High Tea - this deserves a review of its own. Superb. Exquisite Delightful This was a highlite of our European visit. Totally worth it.

Kensington Garden and High Tea with Simon a must! - This tour was beautiful and so much fun! Simon was the most knowledgeable, kind, and super friendly tour guide. He told us so much historical information and stories. He brought the park alive! And high tea is a must! I’m not a tea drinker, but after this tour I’ve been changed. It was delicious! There are a lot of tours out there and I did a lot of research and we are so glad we landed in this one with Simon.
