Join this relaxed, local-led tour to walk in the footsteps of royalty, starting with skip-the-line access to Westminster Abbey. Your guide will share cool insights as you explore the stunning architecture and famous tombs, like those of Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Dickens.
Next, it's time for the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Unlike most tours, you'll catch two different ceremonies, with your guide leading you to the best spots. You'll start at St. James’s Palace to see the guards preparing, then walk alongside them to Wellington Barracks for the main event. The tour doesn’t stop there—stroll through St. James’s Park and finish at the Horse Guards Parade to witness the King's Life Guard change, complete with majestic horses.
By the end, you’ll have seen London’s royal traditions up close, leaving with a deeper appreciation for these iconic ceremonies.
