Itinerary

  • Westminster Abbey

    Uncover centuries of regal history at Westminster Abbey, a 700-year-old architectural marvel in London. Join our expert guide on a royal tour, exploring the Coronation Chair, the resting place of 17 monarchs, and Poet's Corner, where Britain's literary giants lie. Step into the splendor that hosted royal weddings and state funerals, and immerse yourself in the grandeur of this iconic symbol of British heritage. Feel the echoes of kings and queens as you wander through the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey, a must-see for any London visitor.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Changing of the Guard

    Your guide will lead you to the Changing of the Guards. This world-famous ceremony takes place either at Buckingham Palace or at Horse Guards Parade, depending on the day. You’ll be in prime position to enjoy the best views at this crowded event. Enjoy commentary regarding the history and pageantry behind the ceremony. See the Queen’s Foot Guards drenched in their red tunics and unmistakable bearskin hats, march to Buckingham Palace together with the military band or the Household Cavalry. (Please be aware that the guard’s parade will not take place in the event of heavy rain).

    1 hour

  • Buckingham Palace (Pass By)

    Buckingham Palace, the epitome of royal elegance, stands as the official residence of the British monarch in London. Renowned for its iconic balcony moments during royal celebrations, this architectural masterpiece is a symbol of regal splendor and historical significance. From the Changing of the Guards to its opulent State Rooms, Buckingham Palace offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British royalty. A must-visit destination that seamlessly blends tradition and grandeur, inviting visitors to witness a slice of royal life in the heart of London.

  • Big Ben (Pass By)

    Starting March 1, 2025, your journey will also include a visit to Big Ben (from the outside). Marvel at this iconic clock tower, a symbol of London and British parliamentary democracy, as your guide shares its fascinating history and details. The towering structure’s intricate neo-Gothic architecture and storied past make it an essential stop on any royal London tour.

Great tour

Published on Mar, 2025

I had an amazing experience on this London tour! Isabel was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, providing detailed explanations that made the city’s rich history come to life. She even added some fun and unique facts about the places we visited, making the trip even more memorable! . The tour was well-organized and covered all the key spots. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore these areas in an entertaining and insightful way!

An amazing walking tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Isabel was great. She was super informative. It’s a walking tour, so wear your walking shoes! Few stops along the way. No waiting in long lines either. Westminster Abbey was amazing.

11/10, would definitely recommend :)
