See London like a Londoner! On this tour you will hit London’s cobbled ancient alleyways, break waves on its famous river and ride a double decker bus - all with a private guide. First stop - Westminster, in the shadow of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, we will then head down the Mall to Buckingham Palace and beyond. We will meet soldiers, heroes, villains, discuss scandals and Empire as we hop on buses, tubes and boats to discover both the classic highlights and the gems that only the locals know.
Exterior sites include: Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, The Mall, St James's Park, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Churchill War Rooms, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Wobbly Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London, The Square Mile, Pudding Lane and much more.
This tour is with a guide only. Private Transportation is not included.
We will meet you at the hotel's concierge desk. If there is no concierge desk then we will meet you at the front desk / lobby of the hotel. If you are at an Airbnb or alternative accommodation, your guide will be waiting outside the property 5 minutes before your tour start time.

What To Expect
Buckingham Palace
Hear the stories about the Palace's famous residents through the ages and why it is, in fact, not a palace at all.
The best vantage points for the Queen's London residence, Buckingham Palace, can be found here along with stories about secret wartime tunnels underfoot.
The cradle of Western democracy and site of the famous Gunpowder Plot - stop here for an external tour of one of the most storied institutions in politics.
Arguably one of the most important churches in the land. Place of coronations, Royal weddings and burials, final resting place of Charles Dickens, Isaac Newton, Elizabeth I and Bloody Mary.
The other most famous church in the land which hosted the stunning wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and which Churchill defended against all odds during the Blitz in WW2.
Hyde Park is the largest of the Royal parks in the capital and one of the most beloved. There is Speakers' Corner where people have come for centuries to protest and make their voice heard. There is the Serpentine lake and large green spaces - an oasis of nature and calm in the middle of London.
The mighty Thames - time permitting we can hop on a short commuter boat ride and see London from its famous water way whilst we discuss how this stretch of water helped build an Empire.
Here we will show you where a baker once left an oven on that destroyed the city in the Great Fire - it also killed all the rats which virtually ended the dreaded plague.
Dating back hundreds of years, we will stop at the greatest food market in the land where you can purchase some traditional English delicacies as well as fresh produce and ingredients from across the globe.
