Itinerary
Meet your guide at the historic Green Park entrance
Your tour begins at Green Park's Black Gates, tucked between the famous Ritz Hotel and the tube station. Your expert guide greets you, ready to lead you through centuries of royal history across palaces, parks, and tree-lined avenues.
Explore St James' Palace and Clarence House
Walk the quiet corners of St James' to discover the Tudor palace where King Charles was proclaimed monarch. This active royal residence, built by Henry VIII, remains a favorite of the Royal Family. You'll also pass Clarence House nearby.
Admire Buckingham Palace and the Royal Guard
Standing before the famous iron gates, take in Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the King. Your guide explains which flag means royalty is home while you watch the bearskin-hatted guards stand at attention in their scarlet tunics.
Board a double-decker London bus
Like a true Londoner, you'll hop on an iconic red bus for a quick ride through the city. Grab a seat upstairs if you can and watch the streets roll past your window as you head toward Kensington, chatting with your guide about what's to come.
See the Royal Albert Hall and Memorial
After stepping off the bus into Kensington Gardens, you'll see the grand Royal Albert Hall, a concert venue that's hosted performances since 1871. Your guide shares the love story behind the elaborate Albert Memorial, which Queen Victoria built to honor her late husband.
