Guides and tours at the palace

Our Welcome Centre introduces the story of the palace, so don't let your groups miss it.

Special guided tours are available by arrangement each day. Our guides can take up to 12 visitors on each tour. 

Groups who are already visiting the palace can also now book a tour of the exquisite Queen Charlotte’s Cottage. Tours are available in the morning or afternoon slots from Tuesday to Friday.

And for the first time, from mid May to the end of September, evening tours of Kew Palace will be available. Tours start at 17.00 and include an expert guide around the palace into areas not normally open to the public, finishing in the Tudor Undercroft.
