Kensington Palace and High Tea Experience...ask for Warren!!! - How awesome was this experience!!!! We loved Kensington Palace and the Royal Tea Crown Experience. This was probably due to the wonderful tour guide we had. Warren, you are a delight. This was the second time on or trip that we had Warren and could not be more pleased with his knowledge and customized approach. We had a very small group and he went out of his way to tailor his presentation for a couple old folks with bad knees and me with a bad back. On several occasions, he located benches for us to stop and rest while he continued with his presentation. We also liked how he prepped us prior to entering the caste for things to specifically look out for. As for the Royal Tea Crown Experience, we had mixed feelings going in, but came out a believer. This could not have been a better experience. Again, thank you Warren for a wonderful time. I would recommend Warren to anyone booking a tour through Viator. In fact, I would go out of my way in the future to try and have Warren as our guide.

Beautiful tour with amazing high tea - Highly recommend this experience - the Kensington Gardens tour was mainly self guided but still a unique and beautiful tour. The high tea at the Orangery was fabulous.

Go for the HIgh Tea! - The High Tea at the Orangery was spectacular -- not to be missed. I was less enthusiastic about the garden tour though -- mostly due to the guide. She was a nice person but walked way ahead with many of the group and begin speaking about where ever she stopped before the rest of us could get there.

Palace & Tea - Allthough the palace is under construction it was still a good visit. It was quite drafty inside as a result. Overall Mike our tour guide was knowledgeable but you really don't spend much time.with them as they aren't allowed to operate in the palace.

The tour of the palace... - The tour of the palace was an audio tour, not personally guided. We could have booked this, and high tea at the Orangery, on our own. Mike was very pleasant, however.
