The Kensington Story

Kensington Tours was founded through the inspiration of intrepid explorer and Royal Geographic Society Fellow Jeff Willner.  Jeff grew up in Africa where his parents worked for much of his childhood, and from which came his thirst for travel and an appreciation for different cultures.  Jeff has traveled over 70 countries in search of the extraordinary.  During his travels, Jeff began to imagine a company that used the deep knowledge and personal attention of local English speaking guides to turn trips into extraordinary experiences.

Jeff used his years of experience at the Wharton Business School and at McKinsey & Company to build his vision for Kensington Tours.  Kensington Tours is led by a team of destination experts with real in-country experience and seasoned business executives who have built an award winning travel company that offers trips all over the world.

Kensington Tours offers travelers extraordinary travel experiences at unrivalled value.
