Private guided highlights (when Guard Change included) tour of Westminster Abbey

Enjoy a private tour inside Westminster Abbey, famous for coronations and weddings of Royalty. The Abbey is one of Britain's most iconic historic buildings, a Royal church with the tombs of Kings and Queens. The Abbey has become a place of burial for the great and the good of British history. See the coronation chair and the spectacular King Henry VII chapel. Take a boat to the old City of London.

See the Guard Change at Buckingham Palace from Wellington Barracks

Your private guide will ensure you stop in the best location to witness the guards marching whilst playing their instruments. The guards will then march into the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.

South London: Take a mini walking tour along the banks of the River Thames and go south.

Head over to Borough Market for lunch - The origins of the market date back to the 11th century, and the story of its survival into the 21st century is remarkable. Today, the market stallholders sell high-end produce from around Britain and Europe. Drinking ale, wine and eating within the Borough community is an experience. Rustic but high-end restaurants surround the market complex that purchases fresh produce from The Market, yards across the street. 

Private guided tour of The Tower of London

Enjoy a private tour of the Tower of London, an ancient royal palace, castle, and infamous prison. The Tower of London is rightly famous for being a jail for Princes, aristocrats and Royalty. King Henry VIII's second wife, Queen Anne Boleyn, lost her head at the Tower of London after her trial for adultery, and many other political prisoners languished for years behind bars. See the English Crown Jewels, including the Imperial State Crown, the Crown of King Charles, the Imperial Crown of India and the world-famous First Star of Africa, the largest diamond in the world. 

Make your day extra special with a return journey to the hotel by Horse Drawn Carriage Ride or Private Thames Boat

If you have more time, you may prefer to see more and a slower pace. In this case, we suggest the Old City of London Tour AND the Royal London Tour. This option is highly recommended for those with two days available.
