Description

From the ancient coronations in Westminster Abbey to the grit of the Blitz and the resilience of Winston Churchill, London’s story stretches from Edward the Confessor to the modern pulse of a global metropolis. But the real magic? It’s waiting for you in the shadow of Big Ben and the royal gates of Buckingham Palace.

On this 2.5-hour tour, step into the heart of the world's most iconic capital and uncover the stories, scandals and characters that shaped Britain into the nation it is today. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll explore the corridors of power while diving into royal traditions, parliamentary secrets and (weather permitting) the spectacle of the Changing of the Guard, brought to life with energy, wit and insider knowledge.

More than just a history tour, this experience is the perfect way to get your bearings in London. By the end, you’ll not only understand the layers of this historic city, you’ll know how to navigate the Tube, which historic pubs serve the best pint and how to make the most of your time like a Londoner.

Totally recommend!!

One of the best tour experiences I have ever had! The tour guide was super funny and very knowledgeable as well. I learned so many things about London I would never have learned otherwise even though I’ve been coming here my whole life.. 100% recommend.

Excellent and Entertaining

Herbie is an entertaining and wonderful guide. The tour was comprehensive and quick paced. He was quick to answer questions and covered all the main points of interest. We were fortunate to see a procession of the royal guards and carriages parading down the Mall.
