Right in front of one of London’s most stunning green escapes, your local host will be waiting to take you on a walk you won’t forget. Step through the gates of Kew Gardens and let the adventure begin — the iconic Palm House and its lush surroundings are just the beginning!
This private garden tour skips the crowds and audio guides. With so much to see, smell, and learn, there’s no better way to explore than with a knowledgeable local by your side. You’ll visit well-loved landmarks like the towering Palm House, rise above the forest canopy on the Treetop Walkway, and experience the buzz and brilliance of The Hive — all while hearing the stories and insights only a real expert can offer.
Throughout the tour, you'll uncover the fascinating history, design, and purpose behind Kew’s most celebrated spots, as well as hidden corners and botanical secrets. Every step reveals more of why Kew is cherished by locals and visitors alike.
