About this tour

This 3-hour London Kensington Gardens and Palace tour begins with stories of the park’s past and the gardens Prince Albert created for Queen Victoria. Along the way, take in views of Kensington Palace, where Princes William and Harry grew up, then visit the Diana Garden and the statue unveiled by the princes.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.59 from 83 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.0.
