From the start our guide Paul was magnificent and patient, extremely knowledgeable about everything Kensington. His barbed wit was most refreshing and the man could read a crowd with panache! Our lunch was was lovely and the staff were gracious and kind. Our visit was amazing and Unforgettable!

I loved "sharing" Victoria's life as a child, visiting her room and dreaming about her many toys. A real fairy tale
