We could easily have done this on our own and arranged afternoon tea. Kensington Gardens was lovely but our guide offered very little. Very disappointing.

Barbara was great!! We dressed for tea and did not realize that there would be a 55 minute walk around the grounds first. When we expressed concern she arranged for us to go for tea right away and walk with her later if we wanted. It was a lovely experience for all of us, they brought a kids tray for my granddaughters which was not a part of our booking. My only suggestion would be to mention the length of the walk and that it is scheduled before tea. Thanks for a lovely experience!!

David did a wonderful job explaining all of the history of Kensington Gardens. The Royal High Tea was delicious and David spent time at the tea telling us stories about the china and all the delicious food! Highly recommend this tour!
