Guided tours
The Eden Project's Biomes are brought to life by our team of Explainers and Tale Makers every day, and we offer a variety of guided tours and self-led trails to help you uncover the incredible stories of our plants and gardens.
Free daily walkabout tours
Most days, our knowledgeable team of Explainers and Tale Makers offer engaging introductory guided tours of our Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes.
These talks last about 40 minutes, and take you on a short walk through the first section of our Biomes introducing you to the stories of some of our extraordinary plants. These tours are wheelchair accessible and an excellent way to kickstart your journey through our gardens. At the end of the tour, our Explainers will leave you to explore the rest of the Biome at your own pace.
When you arrive, just check our 'What's on' information boards to find out when these tours are happening and where to meet.
These tours take place on most days at various times, but cannot be pre-booked.
Free Pukka herbal tea tasting and talks
Discover the incredible stories of spices that grow in our Rainforest Biome and are used to flavour delicious Pukka tea blends. From learning about their health benefits and ethical practices, to unbelievable historic stories of spices, there's a lot of hidden tales in these familiar flavours.
These relaxing tea tasting sessions and talks are free and happen most days in the Bamboo House, which is located near the exit of the Rainforest Biome. When you arrive, just check our 'What's on' information boards to find out when these talks are happening.
These talks take place most days at various times, and cannot be pre-booked.
