Description

Experience the heart of London with a guided morning tour that brings you up close to the city’s royal and historic landmarks. Begin your adventure with skip-the-line access to Westminster Abbey, where centuries of British history come alive through stories of monarchs, poets, and legendary ceremonies.

Step inside this magnificent Gothic cathedral and discover the site of royal weddings and coronations. Your expert English-speaking guide will share fascinating tales as you explore Poets’ Corner, home to the tombs of literary greats like Charles Dickens, and admire the intricate architecture that has stood the test of time.

After exploring Westminster Abbey, stroll through the vibrant streets of central London to Buckingham Palace. Take in the grandeur of the palace’s iconic balcony and learn about its royal residents while preparing for the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony, a spectacle of British tradition and pageantry.

Watch as the King’s Guard, dressed in their striking uniforms, perform their precision march. Your guide will explain the significance of this historic event. On days when the ceremony does not take place at Buckingham Palace, you’ll witness the Changing of the Guard at Horse Guards Parade instead.

For those seeking a deeper dive, choose the full-day option to enjoy a scenic river cruise and a guided visit to the Tower of London, including the dazzling Crown Jewels. Secure your spot now to experience London’s royal heritage and iconic sights—spaces fill quickly!
