Afternoon Tea Experience in a Royal Palace
First, we will have a leisurely stroll around Kensington Gardens and learn about the part Hyde Park played in London’s development. We will see the beautiful gardens Prince Albert created for his wife Queen Victoria and take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up while also discovering the statue of their late mother, Princess Diana, which stands in the mesmerising sunken garden.
We will then experience the full splendour of High Tea in the 18th Century Tea Room created by Queen Anne whilst giving you fascinating insights into our Royal family and the intriguing history behind our national drink as well as the ceremony of afternoon tea.

Reviews
I would not say it was great value for money. It is not cheap, but my partner and I had a great time. The tour guide was friendly. Make sure you go to toilet first before the start of the tour. You are going to walk quite a bit in the garden. The view was stunning especially we picked a day with the perfect weather. The tea was great in the high tea. The bubbles were a bit disappointing. The food was average. There were quite a lot of people in the high tea. So if you are looking for somewhere more luxurious and have a bit more privacy, pick somewhere else. The view was excellent though.
Personally I enjoyed the entire service, envioronment and food, but you could book online via Kensington Palace to save 50% of your money. The Palace is closed to maintain and no visiting until April, I don’t think it is necessary to have a tour guide to lead you go though Hyde Park.
