Nicholas was very knowledgeable and gave us specific info regarding our interests. He took time in getting us to the venues and verified our tea reservations were set and got us a window seat! Highly recommend Nicholas!
Our guide Kathleen was great and prepared us well for the visit to the Palace. I suggest visiting the other part of the park first before the guided tour.
Kathleen a créé exactement ce dont vous aviez besoin pour bien explorer le Palais de Kensington—cette préparation attentive et cette connaissance locale qui transforme une visite en expérience. Votre suggestion sur l'ordre de visite du parc est précieuse. Merci d'avoir choisi LetzGo City Tours!
The tour was perfect in terms of pace. The Orangery was an unexpected highlight. Such a beautiful building and tge afternoon tea was delicious!
What a joy to hear that the pace of VIP Kensington Palace Gardens Tour & Royal Tea Crown Experience worked so well for you, and that the Orangery became a standout moment. That building really is a hidden gem, and pairing it with afternoon tea is one of those perfectly curated touches that transforms a visit into a memory. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours!
This was a small group tour that was wonderful. Pam the guide was knowledgeable, helpful and lovely to be around. Kensington itself is rather small and the gardens are really suffering in the heat but that doesn’t take away from the history and being able to see it.
Pam's combination of local expertise and genuine warmth is exactly what transforms a smaller group experience like the VIP Kensington Palace Gardens Tour into something memorable. Even when the gardens are under weather stress, a guide who knows the history deeply and cares about her group's experience makes all the difference. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours!

Phillip was great and knowledgeable. It was a good tour. We also had high tea at the palace which the food was so good.
Phillip's combination of local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm really does elevate the Kensington Palace Gardens Tour & Royal Tea Crown Experience into something special. The gardens themselves are beautiful, but having a guide who can bring the history and royal stories to life—and then topping it off with high tea at the palace—that's the full LetzGo City Tours experience. So glad the food impressed you as much as the tour did. Thank you for choosing us!
Our guide Pamela was FANTASTIC! It turned out that we were her only clients for this tour. It was a perfect private tour! All our questions were answered plus Pamela provided a wealth and depth of information that made our time with her extra special.
What a privilege to have Pamela guide you through the Kensington Palace Gardens and Royal Tea experience as a private tour.

Thank you for choosing us, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Pamela!
