Overview

Step into the grandeur of British royalty with a captivating private royal walking tour through London, led by a local expert guide. Begin your journey at the opulent Buckingham Palace, where you'll witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony on selected days. Stroll through St. James's Park - bypassing squirrels and parakeets as we go - to the historic St. James' Palace, and continue to Clarence House, the official residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Wander along The Mall, a ceremonial route rich with royal history, leading to the magnificent Horse Guards Parade where we can grab a photo with a King's Guard sitting on a Royal Horse! Hear the chimes of Big Ben, peruse the ever-controversial Houses of Parliament and conclude your tour at Westminster Abbey's exterior, the coronation site of British monarchs, as your private guide shares fascinating tales. Please note that the Changing of the Guard ceremony is subject to adverse weather conditions and Palace scheduling.

    Say cheese as we pose next to some Royal Horseguards mounted on horseback. This is the traditional entrance to the Royal Estate and is still guarded heavily by these opulent soldiers. This is the closest we can get to a real King's Guard so camera's at the ready!
