Overview

During this full day tour, led by a qualified Blue Badge Guide, you will discover all the main highlights of London, as well as going into Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London, two of the city's most famous landmarks. Besides seeing some of London's best known attractions from outside, such as the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral and many more iconic streets, palaces and squares, you will will also see the fascinating Changing of the Guards ceremony (takes place between August and May every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and everyday in June and July). This tour is aimed at families with children, and your guide will make sure that everyone is entertained and engaged during the itinerary, sharing with you incredible facts and stories about the history of London.

Itinerary

  • Westminster (Pass By)

    You will meet your Blue Badge guide in Westminster, and from there you will start your walking tour to discover the history, culture and legends of one of Europe’s most famous cities. This area hosts some of the most iconic attractions in London, and your guide will introduce your kids to some of the most important landmarks in this part of the city.

  • Houses of Parliament (Pass By)

    From the outside you will see The Houses of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster. It is the seat of the two parliamentary houses of the United Kingdom: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Palace of Westminster has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

  • Big Ben (Pass By)

    Big Ben is the nickname of the Great Bell of the clock tower (Elizabeth Tower) at the north end of the Palace of Westminster, though the name has also become synonymous with the tower itself. A light at the top of the tower is illuminated when Parliament is sitting at night.

  • Whitehall (Pass By)

    You will take a stroll along Whitehall, a famous London street which houses some of the main government offices. From the outside you will see the area’s principal attractions, such as the Cenotaph war memorial, the Horse Guards Parade, Great Scotland Yard (the former home of the Metropolitan Police), and the Banqueting House (1619–22).

  • Changing of the Guard

    After a walk along The Mall, or a picturesque stroll through St James’s Park, you will reach Buckingham Palace. Here, if it is scheduled on that day, you will see the Changing of the Guards ceremony (if scheduled and weather permitting). While you watch the ceremony, your guide will explain to you the importance of some the ceremony's finer details, such as the colours worn by the guards as well as the armour they wear. The Changing the Guard takes place every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, from August to April, and every day during the summer. However, the ceremony will be cancelled in the event of rain or adverse weather conditions, because, among other things, the rain could damage the guards' brass instruments). The ceremony can also be annulled without notice in case of major events. If this should happen, your guide will still be able to point out to you the guards protecting Buckingham Palace and in any case you will be able to witness the Horse Guard Parade.

    45 minutes

  • Westminster Abbey

    You will then visit Westminster Abbey, one of the most famous religious buildings in the world, and one which has played an important role in British political, social and cultural affairs for more than 1,000 years. This beautiful Gothic church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, popular with many visitors to London. You will be fascinated by the paintings, stained glass windows and other religious artifacts present in this outstanding cathedral. Visiting a church with children might sound challenging, but your kid-friendly expert guide will know how to keep your children focused and interested during the itinerary, ensuring this experience will be both educational and fun for all of you! After visiting Westminster Abbey, it will be time to eat, and your guide will certainly recommend to you a restaurant or local pub where you can relax and enjoy a nice lunch before continuing with the rest of the tour.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Trafalgar Square (Pass By)

    The walking tour will continue towards Trafalgar Square. This famous square is a public space and tourist attraction in central London which commemorates the British victory, led by Admiral Lord Nelson, at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The centerpiece of Trafalgar Square is Nelson’s Column, guarded by four huge bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer in 1868.

  • Tower of London

    Here in one of London's most popular attractions, you and your children will be enthralled by the fascinating tales and intriguing legends that your expert, kid-friendly guide will recount to you. One such legend has it that if the Tower's famous residents, the ravens, should ever leave, the Kingdom of England will fall. History will be brought to life as your guide shows you the places behind these stories, including many of the most important places in the castle, like the White Tower, the Medieval Tower, the Royal Mint, Tower Green, the Royal Menagerie, and the Bloody Tower. One of the highlights of your visit is sure to be the Crown Jewels. A central part of the Royal Collection, they are the most powerful symbols of the British Monarchy and hold deep religious and cultural significance in the history of the United Kingdom.

We loved it!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Lucy was a dream! We got to see all the highlights of London and Lucy was so informative, patient and kind. We traveled with small children and she made sure to include them in everything. We loved everything about this tour and are so thankful we discovered them through Viator. If you're on the fence about booking, I would highly recommend you do it! We had a 48 hour window to explore the highlights of London and Lucy made sure every second was full of fun! Thank you for an amazing day!

I cannot say enough fabulous things about this tour and most importantly our guide Mr. Timothy. He was communicative before we even met and patient with us getting lost not to mention my 8 and 6 y/o throughout the day. His breath of knowledge on all things is humbling in the best way possible. He was approachable on every level and just an over all joy to have as your companion. Even if you’ve been to the city and seen these landmarks before, you will be amazed and learn something new. And if this is your first time, this a great starting point. Be prepared as it can be a long day for little ones with lots of walking but our guide was able to “read the room” and took lots of breaks for little feet. Regardless, you will see a lot. “It’s lovely to be in a lovely room” is a saying that will be living rent free in my head for a long time. Thank you for a great day. BOOK THIS TOUR!!!!!
