    Uncover centuries of regal history at Westminster Abbey, a 700-year-old architectural marvel in London.

  • 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.

Great tour

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

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 :)
