Overview
From the coronation of kings and queens in Westminster Abbey to the secrets behind the gates of Buckingham Palace, London carries a thousand years of history in every street. And the best stories aren't in the tourist guides.
On this 2.5-hour tour, you'll walk through the royal heart of Westminster with a local guide who really knows the city. From Big Ben to Parliament, from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace, each point on the itinerary comes alive with real stories about royalty, politics and the characters who have shaped the world's most famous capital. On the right days, you can even see the Changing of the Guard.
But this tour is about more than history. By the end, you'll know where to eat, which neighborhoods to explore and how to enjoy London like a local, not a tourist.
No advance cost. You decide the price at the end.
