The park was breath taking so much so you did not feel the city. To was clean and well kept Doug was informative and easy to get along with. The experience has left me wanting to continue exploring more of the park.

We recevied an email the day before our tour asking if we wanted to cancel as wind and rain were predicted for the day of our tour. Unfortunately, we didn't see the email until after the response deadline so we set out for our tour with raincoats and umbrellas. Everyone else on the tour had cancelled so we had a private walk around Kensington Gardens with our guide, Doug. We were treated to some interesting facts regarding the history of the area and had all our questions answered. Doug then joined us for part of the Afternoon Tea and gave us the history behind the beloved custom. We enjoyed our Tea at the Gore Hotel and, when we finished, were greeted with sunshine outdoors!

Simon was an absolute treat on this tour. I’m not sure if we would have had as much fun with anyone else. He grew up right near the area and his stories will melt your heart. We had a great time. Highly recommend.
