This is a great walking tour of the gardens. Make sure you don't eat before the eat as they give you a good amount of tea sandwiches, scones, and tea desserts. It was a wonderful space to have tea. I definitely recommend our guide David as he was great in explaining everything about the gardens.

What a wonderful experience. Doug was awesome! The beautiful walk through Kensington Gardens was interesting and informative. Doug blended history and current events very effectively. We were delighted to have him join us for a cup of tea afterwards where he continued to share some of the background of “high tea”. We highly recommend this tour - just be sure to ask for Doug!
Very informative tour,...
