Coach Drive Through Central London
After the morning pick up we depart Victoria and drive through the very heart of central London past some of the key landmarks including Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament and The London Eye before driving along the Embankment with great views of The River Thames.
The Tower of London - private tour away from the crowds
Following our coach drive past some of London’s most famous landmarks including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament we arrive at The Tower of London where we are met on the middle drawbridge by our very own Yeoman Warder. Leading us into this world heritage site before it opens to the public our Beefeater will take us on our private guided tour by Traitors Gate. You will then be taken to the Jewel house where you will see the Crown Jewels. Our exclusive tour then continues to the Scaffold site and the Torture exhibition before we have free time to explore on our own – why not visit Traitors Gate or look out for the famous Ravens?
Changing of the Guard
Departing the Tower we head to The Mall to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony as one of the Queen’s Foot Guard Household Regiments march from St.James’s Palace to Buckingham Palace to military music dressed in their world famous tunics and busbies.*
Westminster Abbey
Next we head to Westminster Abbey that presents us with a unique pageant of British history – the confessors Shrine, the tombs of the Kings and Queens, and countless memorials to the famous and the great. Our professional guide will take you through this architectural masterpiece that has been the setting for every Coronation since 1066 and for numerous Royal occasions. *If the Changing of the Guard is not taking place you will still see Buckingham Palace and then visit the Horse Guards Parade. |
