With a private guide you will experience the original Royal English Tea with traditional sandwiches, cakes & scones in the Palace grounds.

Firstly, you will be escorted around the Park & learn of its long history. We will see the beautiful gardens Albert created for his wife Queen Victoria & take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up.

We will then experience the full splendour of High Tea on a private table in the palace grounds & give you personal insights into our royal family and the fascinating history of our national drink and the ceremony of afternoon tea.

Our guide, Barbara Ann, was a real delight. Was so kind to bring us both water and took the time to learn a bit about us before the tour. She was very informative and felt more walking with a friend than a tour guide. Oh, the tea was a delight too. The Orangery was very pretty.

We didn’t go with our guide because we already had tickets to Kensington Palace so we just walked over to the Orangery for our high tea experience.
Barbara (High Tea tour guide) came over and introduced herself and explained the high tea experience to us, she was so friendly.
Thank you !

Such a memorable experience!! The walk around the gardens was so pretty albeit a bit cold - typical British weather! But the group was rewarded with a delicious, traditional afternoon tea!! Couldn’t recommend it more for a truly quintessential English experience!!

Excellent tour guide! He was informative, funny, charming and a good storyteller. We all enjoyed the tour and the tea at the end exceeded expectations for the quality of the food. Lots of walking.

I mistakenly put my comments on the three palace tour ……please find my comments.
Dee was a wonderful guide ….. I looked so forward to high tea at the pavilion only to be disappointed…. Had less than an hour Thank goodness for the takeaway box for which most of the luscious delectables had to be boxed. Not how I intended my teatime

The Kensington Palace Gardens Tour and High Tea was amazing! Our Tour Guide Astrid was a complete delight and made it all the more lovely. Her detailed descriptions of the history of the Parks and the Gardens -- Hyde and Kensington -- were extraordinary and brought the Gardens to life. During the High Tea, she went through great pains explaining how tea was served back in the day as well as what to expect nowadays. She explained the different types of teas and the full range of customs (do's and don'ts) including what to do with your pinky, how to sip properly, when to speak (and not to speak) and how to spread your clotted cream and jam on your scone -- in Devon, it's clotted cream first then jam, in Cornwall is jam first, then clotted cream. Fun and fancy information all in one! If you are lucky enough to have Astrid as your Tour Guide on this tour, you'll have an INCOMPARABLE EXPERIENCE that will exceed all of your expectations! Thank you my dear, sweet, charming and oh so enchanting Astrid!
