Very easy booking: we booked just 5 days before online, entry was smooth. The exhibitions were really interesting. We liked it a lot. Unfortunately the line in the café was far too long because somehow only one person handled everything from cash register to making coffee, so we didn't have coffee and snacks in the café.

On our last day in London, after buying our tickets to the palace online, we set out in the morning and walked through the park until it opened. After breathing in the fresh air, we entered the rooms open to visitors and, with the help of the audio guide, experienced the lives of the characters as if in a movie—full of real emotions and feelings—feeling as though we were part of that era and truly participating in the life of the Palace. Kudos to the organizers.

I loved the section on the last princesses of Punjab. It s was so fascinating and something I had never known was connected to Queen Victoria at all! The staff promoting it as you visit Kensington is amazing and exactly what that exposition needs. The spotlight they've placed here is amazing. Another side of British history that deserves to be told just as much.

It was truly exciting... a magnificent estate, both inside and out... The audio guide was helpful in explaining things to us and helping us imagine what life was like back then, and what happened step by step in each room we visited. I'm glad I had this experience, and I recommend it to everyone ♥️

Kensington Palace is lovely. The self guided audio tour is well done and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Booking through Headout was easy and the customer service was exceptional when I was having issues downloading my tickets (user error - not their fault).
