Your experience
A historic journey through royal traditions
Immerse yourself in the UK's glorious past with this small-group guided tour through the splendid Westminster Abbey. Navigated by an English-speaking guide well-versed in British history, you'll walk through the hallowed halls that have seen the coronation of 40 British monarchs. The awe-inspiring Gothic architecture will captivate you, with the Abbey's nave standing as the highest in England. Traverse the same path as countless historical figures, from Elizabeth I to Isaac Newton, their final resting places nestled within these ancient walls.
A celebration of loyalty and dedication
Once you're done exploring the historic Westminster Abbey, it's time to proceed to Buckingham Palace. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, get the chance to see the famous Changing of the Guards ceremony. During this ceremony, the soldiers protecting the Royal Palaces are replaced by new ones. Be awed by the vibrant red tunics and bear skins worn by the guards, as they perform the ceremony combined with military bands playing music.
