Itinerary
Welcome to Westminster and the start of our exploration into the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. Visiting outside
The most famous of Queen Elizabeth’s palaces and housing a whopping 775 rooms, the stories attached to this icon have to be heard to be believed. Visiting outside
Built on the site of an old leper hospital, did you know that St James’s is the oldest royal palace in the whole of the UK? Take in this beauty, still the official royal residence today, where King Charles III officially ascended the throne. Visiting outside
The prime spot to get your photo with the mounted cavalry of the Queen’s Horseguards and official entrance to Buckingham Palace itself. Visiting Outside
Home to the Prime Minister for hundreds of years, this unassuming little street has been a major player in British politics. Visiting Outside
With statues of icons from Mahatma Gandhi and Millicent Fawcett to Honest Abe, this square celebrates democracy in all its forms as you’ll find out.
Welcome to Westminster. Marvel at Big Ben, a London icon and hear all about the centuries that took this majestic building from palace to centre of British democracy. Visiting outside.
Dream of the last Anglo-Saxon king and a flagship of the Church of England, this abbey was about as central to the life and story of Her Majesty as it’s possible to get. Visiting Outside

Traveler reviews
Great Learning experience with expert tour guide
The Tour guide was fantastic went to Buckingham place got to see King Charles and Queen Camilla. Seen West Minter Abbey and the tower of Big Ben and the reefs laid in remembrance of the dead ! Highly recommended.
Our Queen Day!
Maybe it was because of the weather, but we were the only ones on the tour. What luck! We had our tour guide, Nathan, to ourselves and he was outstanding! So knowledgeable and so patient with all of our questions and topics to discuss. We just loved it!
Royal Family History
Jeremy was an incredible host. We learned so much and shared laughs along the way. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with our family.
Travel in the footsteps of a passionate
Nice walk through the streets of London. We had the pleasure of discovering an enthusiast who took us to the knowledge, history, anecdotes and visuals of a beautiful city. We thank our guide and her wealth of knowledge and the time spent while accompanied by a visually impaired friend. The tour is in English but its pronunciation is adapted.

Had booked me this tour, now on my solo trip in London. When I arrived at the meeting place, I found out that the others who were going with had cancelled. But what did it do? I got a great guided tour anyway. The guide Nathan was talented, knowledgeable, interested, funny and just so incredibly good. Even though it was just me, he was really professional and told me about everything between heaven and earth. Felt like an incredible luxury and the price is worth every penny.
