Step into the grandeur of British royalty with a captivating private royal walking tour through London, led by a local expert guide. Begin your journey at the opulent Buckingham Palace, where you'll witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony on selected days. Stroll through St. James's Park - bypassing squirrels and parakeets as we go - to the historic St. James' Palace, and continue to Clarence House, the official residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Wander along The Mall, a ceremonial route rich with royal history, leading to the magnificent Horse Guards Parade where we can grab a photo with a King's Guard sitting on a Royal Horse! Hear the chimes of Big Ben, peruse the ever-controversial Houses of Parliament and conclude your tour at Westminster Abbey's exterior, the coronation site of British monarchs, as your private guide shares fascinating tales.

Please note that the Changing of the Guard ceremony is subject to adverse weather conditions and Palace scheduling.

What To Expect

Trafalgar Square

The centre of the entire universe - or just the centre of London! This is our national square which is overflowing with hidden gems, quirky stories and an inevitable buzz as travellers from far and wide gather to take their selfies in front of Nelson's Column or his famous lions!

20 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall

Say cheese as we pose next to some Royal Horseguards mounted on horseback. This is the traditional entrance to the Royal Estate and is still guarded heavily by these opulent soldiers. This is the closest we can get to a real King's Guard so camera's at the ready!

I took a mother/son trip to a city I’ve never been to and Larry made this trip remarkable! I emailed him with our must dos and he was able to customize an itinerary to include all of our highlights with an amazing local twist. Larry did a great job communicating with us before the trip and showed up on time ready for a day and half of adventure. My son is looking forward to going back to explore some more with Larry!
Best tour ever!!!!

My 13 year old son and I took this tour, and we were both riveted by the history. This tour takes you to the must-see Westminster sites and Larry expertly navigates the changing of the guard time tables and points out colorful details that bring the past to life. Larry has a wealth of knowledge of everything from political and royal intrigue to Harry Potter, Ted Lasso, and football. He perfectly tailors his tours to the interests of his audience. Highly recommend!! Perfect for families!!
