Overview

Discover the essence and history of London in a fascinating tour that will take you through its most emblematic places: We start in Trafalgar Square, with its imposing Nelson's Column, and the vibrant atmosphere of one of the most iconic squares in the world.

bEWARE: The musical changing of the guard is only seen in the mornings.

As we walk down Whitehall, we'll see the Horse Guards, where you'll learn about the origin of this tradition-filled setting. We continue exploring monuments with war stories until we reach the Prime Minister's House on Downing Street, a symbol of British political power and a place steeped in history.

We will take a few minutes in front of the majestic Big Ben, the most famous clock in the world, next to the imposing Westminster Abbey, site of coronations, weddings and royal funerals. Next, we will head to a site that was the Prime Minister's bunker during World War II, and stroll through St. James's Park.

We will stop to witness the Changing of the Guard and after admiring the residence of the royal family, we will culminate at the grandiose Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the monarchy.
