We got up at 01:00 a.m. to make a reservation for the Highgrove Garden Tour and Tea, and looking back, it was totally worth it. Check in was easy and then we were treated to a 1.5 hour tour of the garden by a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We learned a lot not not only about the garden but the King's active involvement in not only defining the garden, but his occasionally dropping by the tour guides and gardeners to give them insight and stories about Highgrove. We enjoyed the tour immensely. Tea on the patio was one of the highlights of our trip to England. A beautiful setting, delicious tea sandwiches and sweets, and first rate, extremely friendly service. England clearly has many fine gardens but none can really match the overall experience that we had at Highgrove. Go if you have the chance.

Fantastic garden tour ! Such a beautiful and inspiring garden with lots of personality ! I’ve never seen delphiniums that tall , Showstoppers !!! Cream tea in the cafe was just as delightful . Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience .

The whole garden tour and experience exceeds expectations. The gardens that have been developed from open fields over the years are a wonder to see, and wander through, with exceptionally knowledgeable and entertaining guides. The whole experience of arriving, security, starting and undertaking the tour is so well organised, with a small group size to enable you to make the most of your trip. If you get the chance, this is a memorable experience for garden lovers, and well with the visit.

100% recommendation. Greatly enjoyed our 90 mins trip around the garden with Jane Archer today. Lunch was also excellent. The Gardeners Plate & Rhubarb Victoria Sponge were well presented, fresh, with some innovative touches. Thanks to all staff.

Although the weather was overcast , threatening rain, we had a very interesting and informative 90 min tour around these gardens. The layout was spectacular but unfortunately we were too late in the year for some of the more colourful flowers and meadows - timing is everything in visiting gardens. We shall undoubtedly visit again , probably in the spring next time, but as you have to book so far in advance you never know what the weather , or flowerings , are likely to be when you arrive. Our only major disappointment was not being able to take photos for "security reasons" and the cost of items in the newly opened gift shop

We came for the Fathers Day lunch. The food was delicious, as was the glass of champagne. There was a demonstration of Panama hat making by Lock & co, a barber shop set up by Truffitt & Hill and a Highgrove shop set up in the ante room. The atmosphere was friendly and delightful. We have been visiting Highgrove gardens for 20 years now and always have a wonderful time. The customer service is second to none. Highly recommended!

Garden tour with champagne tea. Our garden tour was amazing we thought the gardens were fabulous our tour guide Was very informative and made the experience very interesting. Unfortunately the afternoon tea was a disappointment. Lovely glass of champagne then it went downhill from there ! The 2 finger sandwiches each were not that fresh cream cheese and smoked salmon and very small triangle of coronation chicken, very unpleasant A couple of scones then a very small mixture of pastry and cake. Such a shame after a most tour.

Visited here as I’m a keen organic gardener and was blown away! The gardens are magnificent, the customer service from the car park, to the tour, to the restaurant to the shop was outstanding! The champagne tea was stunning too. The shop was a little expensive but that didn’t stop me buying a few gifts for myself! Will definitely be back and cannot recommend enough. Thank you Highgrove

Easy web site to book tickets and got the day we wanted. Superb gardens. Great tour. Informative guides. New shop opened on site. Well priced cafe with champagne by the glass. Great day out. Well done all

We enjoyed a delightful private tour with Tracey, who was friendly, engaging and informative, and who further enhanced the beautiful gardens with interesting anecdotes. Everyone we encountered at Highgrove was helpful and friendly, the food in the Orchard Restaurant was delicious, and the newly opened shop definitely worth a visit for mementos and much more. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and one we would repeat in a heartbeat.
