Two marching soldiers at Buckingham Palace.

A nice introduction to Royal London in the heart of Westminster, including the famous “Changing of the Guard” ceremony**.

As for every one of my private tours, I will be meeting you directly at your hotel or other accommodation in the morning. We will then make our way to central London and have a stroll through Westminster & Whitehall. I will tell you about royal palaces (past and present), we will get a view of the famous 10 Downing Street (our Prime Minister’s home!) and other landmarks such as Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey.

Changing the Guard, St James

But the main focus of our morning walk will be to catch the world-famous Changing of the Guards ceremony. I will bring you to the best spots to see the Guard and take photos. We will follow troop movements and learn all about the ceremony, its purpose and its mechanics. This will take us through some of the most famous Royal Parks in central London, St James’s Park and Green Park.

The columns at the front of the building.

We will also get great views of Buckingham Palace (where I will be more than happy to be your photographer if you want me to), and of other royal residences, such as Clarence House (where HRH Charles, Prince of Wales lives) and St James’s Palace.

*This is a sample route, I will of course adapt the tour to your own personal needs and interests.

**Please be aware that The Changing of the Guard is a military ceremony, subject to potential changes in date & time, and occasional cancellations (announced on the morning of the ceremony in case of very bad weather). Depending on the date, we will be seeing either the Foot Guards or the Horse Guards.

***I can arrange to pre-book a table for your group at a convenient pub or restaurant.

Our customers say...
"I want to submit a review of the Stonehenge, Bath, Windsor Castle based taken on June 28th. Jennifer El Gammal was an outstanding tour guide. She was personable, intelligent, knowledgeable and truly a pleasure to be with for this full day excursion. She was well organized and provided specific instructions about how to get back to the bus after each stop, which resulted in everyone getting back to the bus on time. The bus driver, Bob Smart was a good partner, driving safely and getting us from each site on time. This tour was one of the best I have ever been on because of the excellent information shared by Jennifer throughout the bus ride. She is truly amazing and engaging."

"Great value tour not only informative but also very entertaining. Our guide Jennifer had fascinating stories and she guided us through the origins of magic and early magicians as well as famous magicians of the past. We got to discover some hidden gems in central London and she revealed a fascinating history behind some the more known architectural landmarks. During her captivating storytelling our guide kept performing some of her own magic tricks that linked to and enhanced the stories and I must say that they’ve made the whole experience absolutely perfect. I strongly recommend this to everyone."
