Private London in a Day Tour

Meet your guide at Parliament Square

Your tour begins in the heart of political London at the statue of Abraham Lincoln. Meet your private guide to discuss the day's flexible schedule while standing in the shadow of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

Explore Westminster Abbey

Next, use skip-the-line access to enter this 1,000-year-old church where English monarchs are crowned. See the final resting places of Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin while learning about the abbey’s role in royal weddings and funerals.

Witness the Changing of the Guard

Follow your guide to the Mall to see the Scots Guard in their iconic red tunics and bearskin hats. From a strategic viewpoint, watch the precision of the military exchange as the New Guard replaces the Old Guard at Buckingham Palace.

See the gates of Downing Street

Then, walk past the heavily guarded entrance of Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister. Your guide will share stories of the political history shaped behind these famous black doors before you head toward Trafalgar Square for a lunch break.

Cruise down the River Thames

After lunch, board a river boat for a relaxing journey down the Thames. As you sail, you will see the London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theater from a unique perspective on the water.
