Description
London: one of the great world cities, jam-packed with amazing buildings and iconic landmarks – and you’re in London to see them all.
My fantastic little Highlights Tour is a great way to see those famous sights. In the comfort of a London taxi we cover the big landmarks in Westminster: Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament & Big Ben, Whitehall and Trafalgar Square. More if we have the time.
This is not a ‘drive-by’ tour. We make a lot of stops: to look at, photo and talk about London’s great landmarks. We don’t go into attractions – all of which are BIG and take time (some can have admission costs).
For more in-depth London sightseeing tours please see my 5 and 7 hour tours.
Note: Tour does not go inside Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral or Tower of London. These are big, paid for attractions.
Graham (that’s me) is your tour guide and driver, providing full commentary throughout the tour. Many stops for photo opps and the occasional short walk. Door-2-Door service: pick up and drop off anywhere in central London (extra charges may apply if different). Suitable for first time or returning visitors.
CHANGING THE GUARD AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE: 10.45am - 11.30am
Graham can walk you through the Ceremony during any of his Highlights Tours. April-June: Daily. July-March: Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri (weather permitting). This colourful, on-the-move spectacle encompasses Marching Bands and Guards, tradition and pageant. Graham guides you through its key moments and highlights. If you would like this included within your tour please tell Graham.
