The Kew Explorer is a great way to gain an introduction to the Gardens. The driver provides a commentary whilst driving close to areas of interest around the 120 hectares (300 acres) of Kew.

Tours last approximately 40 minutes and there are 8 stops around the route.   Kew Explorer ticket holders can "hop-on" and "hop-off" at any of the stops (subject to available seating space). Tickets can be purchased from the driver and are valid for all tours on the day of purchase.

The Kew Explorer has one fixed wheelchair space, but is able to store wheelchairs/buggies etc on board.

The first run of the day is at 11.00 hrs from Stop 1 near Victoria Plaza.   Tours then depart on the hour. During November, December and January there is a back up half hourly service (first tour commences 11.30 hrs) at weekends only.

Adults £2 / Child (under 17) £1 (until 31 Jan 2008)
