EXPLORING KEW Private Tour of Kew Gardens and Michelin Star Dining

Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for a private tour of the world's most famous collection of plant life and enjoy dinner at the nearby Michelin star restaurant, The Dysart Petersham.

Founded in 1759 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2003, the 300 acres of land that make up the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is one of the most naturally beautiful sites in London. Not only is it home to the largest global collection of living plants and diverse plant life, but Kew Gardens also acts as an art space, exhibiting a permanent feature by Marianne North and varying structural exhibits such as The Great Pagoda and the Xstrata Treetop Walkway, a 200m long, 18m high passage through the trees, providing a fresh perspective on the sweet chestnuts, limes and deciduous oaks of Kew.

You can start your tour at Kew Gardens either in the morning or afternoon, depending on your preferences. During your tour, a passionate and knowledgeable guide will introduce you to the Gardens' history, give you behind-the-scenes access to the scientific work involved in the preservation of the 30,000 different plant species, and guide you around at least one of Kew's famous glasshouses such as the iconic Palm House or the Princess of Wales Observatory.

To cap off a visit to Kew Gardens, you will be treated to a four-course dinner at Michelin-star restaurant, The Dysart Petersham. Relax and enjoy a modern-British menu and toast to a memorable experience by sipping on a glass of champagne each.
