  • Beyond Expectations

    The royal high tea was so much fun! Our tour guide Doug was so great! He took us on a walk through Hyde Park and was so knowledgeable about all the history. We visited Princess Diana’s garden, which was top on my list to see, and I didn’t think we would have time during our trip to London to see it! After the beautiful walk in Hyde Park, we sat down for our high tea. That hands down was beyond all expectations I had! The sandwiches, scones, and desserts were so good, and the tea was exceptional! I would highly recommend this experience!

  • There is about an hour...

    Doug, our garden guide, was a personable, knowledgeable, interesting man who was enthusiastic and kind. He gave us a lot of information and answered all our questions. The tea was delicious and Doug made sure we were comfortable and even offered to take our picture. We highly recommend this tour!

    What a lovely place. High Tea was a must in London but having it at Kensington Palace Gardens at the Orangery Restaurant was amazing.

  • Excellent!
