Overview of your London tour:

There is nothing quite like experiencing the Changing the Guard in person. But if you're worried about standing in the wrong spots, misunderstanding what's going on, and missing all of the action, then this walking tour is for you. We'll explore many of London's major highlights, including seeing the majesty of the Changing the Guard. This tour is fully customisable. If you have any additional interests or would prefer a different route, I can make it happen for you. Just ask! If you would like to do this tour on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, do note that there will be no Changing the Guard, but I can still make it extraordinary for you and include other Royal sites. Please send me a message if you're interested. ***Do note that the Guard Change is (very rarely) cancelled with no notice - this is rare, but it does happen. We will still have a great tour!

Your London tour itinerary

We'll start with the Changing the Guard (which only occurs four times per week other than in the summer months), witnessing it from two vantage points. I'll explain the troop movements, the five regiments of the King's Guard, and the history of this grand ceremony. Next, we'll explore the Royal palaces and parks in depth, and I'll tell you about their most interesting facts and secrets. We'll talk all about the origins of Buckingham Palace, visit the Victoria Monument, and explore the history of St James' Palace. We'll traverse St James' Park before visiting Horseguard's Parade, and then visit Parliament Square to see the Houses of Parliament (the Palace of Westminster), Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. There are some excellent photo opportunities and plenty of time to ask questions! Please note that on this tour, we do not enter any of the buildings. This tour can be fully customised.
