Follow your guide through this exciting and bustling neighborhood and gather tips and advice on where to eat, drink, and what shows to see later that night. Pass the incredibly iconic Trafalgar Square to hear anecdotes of London’s past and present, from the Napoleonic war hero Nelson, who sits on top of the squares column, to the inspiration for Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins, the area is one of the bustling centers of London. On days when the Changing of the Guard is taking place, weave past the crowds and enter the Royal district to discover a lesser-known viewpoint for this world-famous Royal ceremony. Often surrounded by visitors rushing to the palace gates in search of the best viewing spot, the ceremony is best experienced with a local expert who knows where to position your private group for a great perspective before continuing to Westminster, the political heart of Great Britain.

You will have the chance to see Marvel and the grand gothic medieval masterpiece of Westminster Abbey, the location where every British monarch has been crowned for over 1000 years, head past the Houses of Parliament, the functioning ‘palace’ of British democracy uncovering explosive tales of gunpowder plots to kill the king, Winston Churchill, and why the great clock tower is known as Big Ben. Filled with facts and great photos, your local guide will take you down the river for sight after sight on a ferry ride to your final destination, the Tower of London. Arriving at the tower from the water is relaxing, comfortable, and luxurious, though it was not always so. Arriving at the tower by water to the Traitors’ gate was reserved only for politicians, rebels, and queens whose fate was to execution or to rot in the Prison. Your guide will depart leaving you with all the knowledge and insights you need before exploring the Tower of London. Leave no stone uncovered and explore all the best of London old and new on this all-encompassing Private Full Day London Highlights Tour.
