I’ve seen the palace and that’s amazing. Very surreal feeling knowing the history of the rooms you’re walking through. I had actually visited the cancel before but was back to attend the Dress Codes exhibition. I thought that was disappointing, I expected to see a lot more, but the palace is great.
Always love visiting the palace and this was for the Dress Codes exhibition. That was small but amazing to see. Loved the gift shop and bought another tea towel. The cafe was almost closing when I went but still served me. Great staff.
Kensington Palace was stunning. The exterior architecture and interior artworks, styling, ceiling paintings, and flooring were terrific to view. A new designer exhibit showcased a range of clothing influenced by various royal eras. The artwork in the King's Gallery was stunning, and the wallpaper in a hallway was designed with different Diana images. The exterior sculpture of Queen Victoria is excellent. There is a cafe and toilets in Kensington Palace.
Visited on my last day in London for a last little cultural detour. It was really lovely, easy to find my way around and the audio guide was perfect. It’s the perfect place to go if you want to see a little history and you don’t have much time (took me approx an hour).
I had the pleasure of visiting Kensington Palace with my family in the evening, and it was a truly memorable experience. Kensington Palace is one of London’s most elegant historic landmarks, blending royal history with beautifully curated exhibits. Once the childhood home of Queen Victoria and the residence of Princess Diana, the palace holds deep significance in Britain’s royal heritage. Today, it is still a working royal residence for members of the Royal Family while also open to the public. The exhibits are outstanding—ranging from the regal State Apartments to special collections of royal fashion, portraits, and artifacts. Each gallery tells a story of the monarchs who lived here, and the attention to detail makes the experience both educational and inspiring. One of the best features is the audio guide, which is included for visitors. It brings the palace to life with engaging stories, helping tourists understand the history, architecture, and personalities behind the palace walls. Combined with the lush Kensington Gardens just outside, the visit feels like stepping into living history. Overall, Kensington Palace offers the perfect balance of royal history and cultural experience—a must-visit for anyone exploring London. 👑✨
Our guide was fabulous. Taught me British history, most of which i had long forgotten…….told me Kensington Palace was used in Disney's movie Rapunzel. My 5 year old granddaughter (Rapunzel is her favorite Disney princess) was not impressed as I didn't meet Rapunzel. But for me it was great. Saw Princess Diana’s statue and garden…and we agreed most people remember what they were doing when they learned JFK and Diana were dead. Recommend it. .
The experience was great. Our tour guide Mike was good. We toured the palace on our own, so there wasn’t much guiding. The best part was having tea at the orangery. We paid almost $800 to basically to ourselves and have tea. Although it was a great experience, I don’t think the value of $800 is worth it. I could’ve booked both experiences separately and still not have paid that much.
our guide Pauline was very knowledgeable and considerate, easy to hear and understand. Tea was great.
We had a lovely day with out guide! I would highly recommend this tour and tea.
Just wrapped up an amazing day at Kensington Palace, and I can’t recommend the garden tour and high tea enough! Our tour guide, Mike, was absolutely wonderful—so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the palace and its stunning gardens. He brought the stories to life, making the experience even more special. One of the highlights was visiting the Diana statue, which beautifully captures her spirit. After the tour, we indulged in a delightful high tea at the Orangery. The setting was simply lovely. The selection of teas and pastries was divine—definitely a treat for the senses! If you’re in London, don’t miss out on this experience! It’s the perfect blend of history, beauty, and a touch of royal charm.
