One of the finest tours we’ve been on in London. Our guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed just talking with him. I would highly recommend this tour and certainly ask for Tom if possible

Our high tea and tour through Kensington garden was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Our tour guide Doug was fantastic! He was very personable and very knowledgeable on the history of the gardens. He pointed out significant landmarks with detailed explanations about them. He was very patient and allowed us plenty of time to take photos. After touring the gardens we enjoyed high tea. The tea, sandwiches and desserts were delicious and again our tour guide Doug did a wonderful job going over the history of how high tea was started. This two hour tour went by so fast and was one the most enjoyable part of our time in London. I would definitely recommend the tour and Doug as your guide!
