A lovely afternoon! - Doug, our garden guide, was a personable, knowledgeable, interesting man who was enthusiastic and kind. He gave us a lot of information and answered all our questions. The tea was delicious and Doug made sure we were comfortable and even offered to take our picture. We highly recommend this tour!

Historical and Excellent - The tour of the Kensington Gardens was filled with wonderful historical facts, beautiful nature- flowers, trees, geese, swans, lakes, ponds, commemerative sculptures such as the Princess Diana and children, and interesting features such as the Rolls Royce ice cream truck. The high tea in the Orangery was splendid. The service was excellent, tea sandwiches and scones delicious, and the sweets were a work of art as well as the beautiful baroque structure itself.

Spoil yourself at High Tea - What a lovely place. High Tea was a must in London but having it at Kensington Palace Gardens at the Orangery Restaurant was amazing.

This is a great walking... - This is a great walking tour of the gardens. Make sure you don't eat before the eat as they give you a good amount of tea sandwiches, scones, and tea desserts. It was a wonderful space to have tea. I definitely recommend our guide David as he was great in explaining everything about the gardens.

Great Experience - Our tour guide Lewis was great!!! Lewis provided many historical facts about the royal family and the gardens. He was well prepared with information in a variety of languages as well as images of the gardens and palace. He was very friendly and positive even when the weather was a bit rainy. Additionally, he provided opportunities for photos, facts about local wildlife, and gave recommendations for tea while at The Orangery.
