Experience the best of royal London on a half-day sightseeing tour, exploring the historic landmarks of the city center, and cruising down the River Thames. Meet at the Tower of London, home to the famous Yeoman Warders (“Beefeaters”), and a former prison that witnessed the execution of 3 English queens! Marvel at the Crown Jewels of the English monarchy, including orbs, swords, crowns, and scepters. Go to the White Tower where the “Princes in the Tower” was held before being murdered, allegedly by Richard III. With early entrance to the Tower, you will be among the first to see the ceremonial opening by the Yeomen Warders (if option selected). Depart the Tower and cruise down the River Thames on board a shuttle boat. Admire the sights en route, such as St. Paul’s Cathedral and Shakespeare’s Globe. Upon arrival at the Embankment, and depending on day, stroll over to watch the Changing of the Guards ceremony, either at Buckingham Palace or Horse Guards Parade. Your guide will put you in a prime position for the best views of the crowded event, and provide a colorful commentary as the pageant unfolds. End your morning tour outside the Buckingham Palace, the official residence of many members of the British Monarchy. Experience the grandeur and history of Royal London like never before and witness the magic of this iconic city firsthand.
