Excellent tour guide! He was informative, funny, charming and a good storyteller. We all enjoyed the tour and the tea at the end exceeded expectations for the quality of the food. Lots of walking.

I mistakenly put my comments on the three palace tour ……please find my comments. Dee was a wonderful guide ….. I looked so forward to high tea at the pavilion only to be disappointed…. Had less than an hour Thank goodness for the takeaway box for which most of the luscious delectables had to be boxed. Not how I intended my teatime

The Kensington Palace Gardens Tour and High Tea was amazing! Our Tour Guide Astrid was a complete delight and made it all the more lovely. Her detailed descriptions of the history of the Parks and the Gardens -- Hyde and Kensington -- were extraordinary and brought the Gardens to life. During the High Tea, she went through great pains explaining how tea was served back in the day as well as what to expect nowadays. She explained the different types of teas and the full range of customs (do's and don'ts) including what to do with your pinky, how to sip properly, when to speak (and not to speak) and how to spread your clotted cream and jam on your scone -- in Devon, it's clotted cream first then jam, in Cornwall is jam first, then clotted cream. Fun and fancy information all in one! If you are lucky enough to have Astrid as your Tour Guide on this tour, you'll have an INCOMPARABLE EXPERIENCE that will exceed all of your expectations! Thank you my dear, sweet, charming and oh so enchanting Astrid!

Astrid was a wealth of knowledge about Kensington Gardens and the palace. She was incredibly kind, interesting and was able to infuse the cultural experience with the historical context making it a memorable event. Her love for the gardens was evident!
