5.00This was a great experience! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Kensington Palace and led us on a lovely walk through the surrounding park before dropping us off for tea. The tea and snacks were yummy, and the tour of Kensington Palace that followed was interesting.
Check to make sure Kensington Palace is open
