Overview

With a private guide you will experience the original Royal English Tea with traditional sandwiches, cakes & scones in Queen Anne's Tea Room.

Firstly, you will be escorted around the Park & learn of its long history. We will see the beautiful gardens Albert created for his wife Queen Victoria & take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up.

We will then experience the full splendour of High Tea on a private table in the Orangery & give you personal insights into our royal family and the fascinating history of our national drink and the ceremony of afternoon tea.

. All Food and Beverage Service includes Service Charge.
. The tour itself does not include any gratuities & are entirely at your discretion
. Alcohol is not included. A drinks menu is available at supplementary cost on the day.

    Sorting, ranking, and search results

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
