Private London Royal Highlights Cab Tour - Hotel Pickup
What your day looks like
London: one of the great world cities, jam-packed with amazing buildings and iconic landmarks – and you’re in London to see them all. Our fantastic little Highlights Tour is a great way to see those famous sights. In the comfort of a London taxi, we cover the big royal landmarks in Westminster: Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament & Big Ben, Whitehall, and Trafalgar Square. More if we have the time. This is not a ‘drive-by’ tour. We make a lot of stops: to look at, photo and talk about London’s great landmarks. We don’t go into attractions – all of which are BIG and take time (some can have admission costs). Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri): 10.45 am - 11.15 am.. This colorful, on-the-move spectacle encompasses Marching Bands and Guards, tradition, and pageantry. We will guide you through its key moments and highlights. If you would like this included within your tour please let us know.

What travelers are saying
Our driver Graham did a great job. Very professional !
Our tour guide Graham was amazing. Took us to all the highlights we wanted to see, was very knowledgable and really kept the physical limitations of my group in mind the entire time. He was funny, personable and just a joy to be around. I would definitely hire him again and will recommend him to others!
