Description
Purchase of 2 vehicles and carriages suitable to be run as a land train to deliver tours around the gardens.
The Kew Explorer is a land train service that has been running tours around the Kew Gardens site for over 10 years. As well as delivering an information tour that showcases the horticultural, scientific and heritage highlights around the garden it also provides a valuable "hop on hop off" service to those visitors who would otherwise struggle to walk around the 320acre site. Outside of the public tours there is also a significant need for tours to wedding parties and corporate partners.
