We had a very enjoyable time with Simon. He had wonderful knowledge regarding the history of the Kensington Palace and the Gardens. The tea was great as well. Thank you for a wonderful tour

Astrid was so sweet, gracious and kind. She was interested, knowledgeable and passionate in her work. The tea experience was good. Glad to have booked this tour.

Wonderful food, tea, and service. Lovely atmosphere. We were not rushed out and we enjoyed the view of the garden even in the rain!

I highly recommend this tour! I brought my daughter (7 years old) and my mother in law and we had a wonderful time. The park was lovely and the guide very informative. The tea service at the Pavilion was a joy and the food was delicious. My daughter was overjoyed to have her own kids tea service and sandwiches in the shape of puzzle pieces! My only suggestion is that I don’t think it would be appropriate for children under 6 due to the amount of walking and the fine china at the tea service. My 4 year old son spent the morning at the Natural history museum with Dad.

First off I would like to say that my tour guide was great- very knowledgeable and friendly. The reason why I rated the tour a 1 star is to bring attention to the confusing information that was conveyed to me about the tour. I emailed the provider the day before to inquire about accessibility. I use a motorized scooter for mobility and was deciding whether or not I should bring it with me. I was advised that it was a "zero steps tour", and therefore decided to go on foot/uber to the meet-up point. This was definitely NOT a zero steps tour. It involved not only an hour of walking but also stairs into the park (although few) and into the high tea venue (although they did have a ramp however I was in too much pain to get to the ramp). I was in a great deal of pain by the time we made it to the venue after over an hour of walking. The tour guide was patient and kind however it would have been a much better experience if I had been able to keep up and avoid the pain of such a long walk.

The tour was great! Loved the walk thru the gardens and the history was great! The sandwich’s were good and scones were incredible and deserts good!

Doug's guided tour via Viator through Hyde Park and Kensington Palace Garden was an absolute delight. His passion for the history of these iconic sites was infectious, and his storytelling brought the past to life. Doug's knowledge of the park's hidden gems and the garden's beauty was impressive. What sets him apart is his warm and engaging personality, making the tour feel like a journey with a friend. He tailored the experience to our interests, ensuring it was both informative and enjoyable. If you want an exceptional tour experience filled with insight and laughter, Doug is the guide to choose. In fact, after high tea, we really did not want our time with Doug to and and all commented on how he would have been an outstanding guide to have for our entire trip to London.
