My stay at Kensington palace was amazing. The staff was lovely and greeted me before arrival to help us get to the building. Throughout my stay if i had any questions they were there to help me through whatsapp chat which was very helpful, especially it being my first time around london the staff would point me in the right directions of where i am going for the subway stations etc which was great. The room had a comfy bed and it had a fan which circulated the room which was great if we was too hot. The area it's located in is amazing with plenty of cafes, shops and restaurants around. Thank you for having us and i definitely would return again.

The place is very well maintained, tidy, and clean. The audio guide is really well done and very user friendly. The staff are very friendly. The only negative point is that I would have expected to find more information about the life of Princess Diana. The park is also very well maintained and I found it very beautiful despite it being February. The bus to get there is also very convenient. Weather: it's not true that it always rains in London...

Kensington Palace is the third Royal palace we have visited and everything about it was terrific. The free audio guides are excellent. The room guides are so knowledgable, informative and amusing. The house certainly feels like a palace but also manages to feel lived in and homely. A great visit and the app from Headout was so easy to use.

Kensington Palace was spectacular. Easy entry with our tickets! Absolutely no fuss, they just scanned our tickets and in we went. We got a free audio guide and beat the field trip crowds with our 10 AM entry. We learned a lot, had a great time and felt fulfilled after about 2 hours exploring!

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!
