The Experience

What your day looks like

Enjoy a crash course in royal London, its past, present, and future, on this half-day tour that somehow spans around 1,000 years. Start at the Tower of London, with its ancient ravens, then board a river boat to travel to Westminster as the old kings did. There, you'll enjoy a walking tour of regal signatures, including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. James's Palace, Buckingham Palace, and the Horse Guards Parade. Let us read you the story of London, a tale of two cities. From a visit to the Tower of London in the old city to a walking tour in the regal city of Westminster, join us for the Ultimate Royal London experience. From crowns to confessions, the Tower of London has been keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in 1079. A spectacular edifice, it has lived many lives- as a mint, an observatory, a zoo, an armory, a royal palace, a treasury, and most notoriously, as a place of execution. Home to both the Beefeaters and the Crown Jewels today, the Tower’s story is one of intrigue, scandal, and ceremony waiting to be discovered.

We learned so much on this expedition, our tour guide was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, I think his name was Jeremy. I am still so tired, it was unusually hot but he did not let that deter him one bit, this was so great.
