A walk in the park - We had a lovely walk through Kensington Park with our guide Lewis. He was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour was capped off with an amazing tea at the Palace Orangerie - a spectacular sun filled room. The tea was quite filling and the sandwiches and treats were beautiful and delicious.

Best high tea experience in London - I can’t recommend this experience enough. My daughters and I joined Luis’s tour of the Kensington gardens followed by tea. The tour was fun and informative and the guide gave the kids a little scavenger hunt paper to make it more interesting for them. The Royal High Tea was lovely in a beautiful atmosphere. This was a perfect London afternoon.

Our Royal walk was Royal! - We had a Royal walk with David. He was so nice, knowledgeable about the history of the Royals. He walked us around Harrods as well, beat mall ever! The bubbles were a nice touch to end our walk.

Tea at Kensington - Simon gave us a most interesting walk through Kensington park. Enjoyed the history. He was excellent. The tea itself was okay. I have had better. We were a small group (4 + guide), and enjoyed the conversation.

What a great time - 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.

Total Rip off. Read my review. - Do not book this tour. The cost of Tea at Kensington Palace for five people is about $450. This “VIP” tour for five people cost $875!!! So what do you get for double the price? A walk through the park before tea! That is all it includes. How is does that cost an extra -$400? They walk you through the park and end up at Kensington Palace for your tea. Total rip off. Just go on line and book your tea directly at Kensington Palace. Take a walk through the park on your own if you wish. The lady who walked us through the park was very nice and a wonderful person but never book this tour. Hopefully I just saved you $400. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

A complete drop off don’t come here go somewhere else and save your money for the same quality elsewhere - For the price, you sure don’t get your moneys worth. I have been to several high teas. This one is the most expensive ever and a rip off. I definitely would not recommend this as there are so many others in London
