Did you know that ‘every breath you take and every move you make’ depends on plants?

Discover what biodiversity means and why it’s so important.

Find out about biodiversity hotspots, the importance of the rainforest, plant and animal interdependence and Kew’s conservation work around the world.

Free guided walking tours take place daily from the Guides’ Desk, Victoria Plaza. These tours last approximately one hour and are for individual/casual visitors to the Gardens. There is a limit of 15 people per tour and places are allocated on a first-come, first –served basis. Please register with the guide from 15 minutes before the start of the tour. Kew has 65 enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteer guides; a guided tour is bound to be a highlight of your day.

Kew guides also offer special themed tours which cost £5 per person. These are of longer duration and often go behind-the-scenes to areas of the Gardens not normally open to the general public.

Groups of 6 or more will need to pre-book a bespoke tour which also requires payment. Please click Pre-Booked Guided Tours for details and Booking Form.

Walking tours are also available to groups and individuals with special needs through our Discovery Programme.
