Enjoyable Experience - Loved the Kensington Palace and Tea experience! We were very lucky to be the only people with our tour guide, Warren. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and we felt as if we were with a friend!

Kensington Palace afternoon delight - Such a gentleman… was there to meet us promptly and escorted us into Kensington grounds. We proceeded through the palace at our speed. And after proceed to see the memorial to Diana and the beautiful sunken garden. Plenty of time was allowed for photos. We were escorted to to Orangery for afternoon tea. It was delicious with 3 tiers of assorted sandwiches, French canopies and deserts. We had plenty of time to relax and talk about what we had seen and compare notes among travelers. After we were escorted to the edge of the park and given individual directions on our returns. Very nice afternoon of discovery and meeting new friends!

Expert tour of all things Kensington. - This is lovely tour of beautiful grounds and finishes with high tea at the Orangery. Sue was our guide who spent time bringing a couple of Swifts up to speed on all things Royal. Knowledgeable and patience with all our questions, Sue was an expert at helping us understand the genealogy. Well worth the time and money.

Stories about kings and queens - Diana’s statute sand sunken gardens The afternoon tea was the high lite of all my trips A different idea to share a snack Although I didn’t like the good selection and only drink water, I still thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of it and meeting a former Olympic athlete who shared our table Mike, the guide had lots of down time to tell us more stories… nice man but lots of quiet time walking with no facts. This is in comparison to other tour guides I was disappointed that after listening to all those kings/ queens we cant relate to, that very current info on current king etc

Waste of time and money - Not worth the cost. The palace was nice but the tea experience was not that great. I believed we were having tea in the garden not in some building. I could have done this tour for a lot less. Why the guide took us to the lake I don’t understand. The whole experience was a let down. Would never do this again
