Royal London Westminster Tour
This is the London you see on TV! Here you'll walk in the foot steps of the royal family, stroll along beautiful royal parks, see where our Monarchs are crowned, and learn about secret rooms underneath government buildings - and what exactly happened down there. You'll pass by the home of the Prime Minister, have a chance to see the King's swans, and visit the most important royal palace in the country (spoiler: it's NOT Buckingham).
You'll see the seats of the royal and governmental bodies that control the UK and learn their 1,000 year old history. You'll have a chance to inspect the King's guards, see the most famous palace in the world, take a photo of "Big Ben" ...and then learn why you aren't actually taking a photo of Big Ben.
Sometimes we even have an opportunity to wave to the King and, sometimes, he even waves back!
On days that it takes place, this tour also includes the world-famous Changing of the Guard - and we will take you to the best place to view it.
