À propos de cette activité

A great tour to see many of London's most famous sights in one morning. Hear the stories of Westminster Abbey, where 40 monarchs have been crowned, and the history of four royal palaces where many of them have lived and died. Learn how the United Kingdom's parliamentary system works looking at the Houses of Parliament and hear Big Ben ring out on the hour. See the 4 main royal palaces (hear the story of when I was invited to Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday party!). We do not go inside any of the buildings we see. Experience the main Changing of the Guard ceremony (not Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday) or the smaller ceremony at Horse Guards. I know the best places to go and the timing down to the minute to make sure you get the best experience! Stroll through a magnificent royal park and historic square and stop to take photos at the best spots. Finish by exploring Trafalgar Square, home to two major, free to enter, art galleries and close to many exciting places to eat.
