Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace Tour

Most Kensington Palace guided tours stop at the palace gates. This one starts an hour earlier, walking you through Kensington Gardens' royal memorials and gardens first, then finishes with pre-reserved palace entry. This Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace tour also works well as a royal parks London tour, if you want to pair a public garden with a working royal residence in one outing.

Yes. This Kensington Gardens tour is built for exactly that: an expert guide who curates the highlights across the park's memorials and gardens, so you see what matters without wandering in circles.

We keep groups small (max 10) for an intimate experience—more like a night out with friends than a formal tour.

Both. Your guide walks you through the Italian Gardens and Sunken Garden, right by the palace itself, before you head inside with your ticket already reserved.

The gardens portion is guided. Inside Kensington Palace, you'll explore with an audio guide at your own pace rather than as part of a group, so you can spend as long as you like in the State Apartments.

Yes. Pre-reserved tickets to Kensington Palace are included, along with an audio guide for your self-guided visit inside.

Yes, this is a walking tour covering about 2 miles, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.

Yes, with a little planning. The stops are close together and each one involves sitting rather than standing for long stretches, though some venues have a step or two at the entrance. Let us know your needs when you book, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect at each stop.

This tour works well for families, and the self-guided Palace visit gives kids room to explore at their own pace.

The tour runs rain or shine, so dress for the weather and bring an umbrella if needed.

Not at the moment. If a private version would work better for your group, let us know and we'll pass that along to our product team.

Gratuities aren't included in the price, though they're appreciated if your guide made the visit a little easier.
