Best of London tour with VIP Tower of London and Changing of the Guard

Famous and somewhat infamous, we start this early morning relaxing, strolling tour at one of the United Kingdom’s most recognizable landmarks – the Tower of London. Formerly a fortress, a prison, and the macabre execution site of three Queens of England, you will have privileged early access to the Tower before it opens to the public and will witness the Opening Ceremony (if option selected) performed by the Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters as they are better known.Our early morning tour also avoids the crowds that form later in the day and allows you to be among the first to see the Crown Jewels. These official regalia and vestments used by the Sovereign of the United Kingdom have been held in this Jewel House for the last 600 years and include swords, crowns, scepters, orbs, rings and more.From here, we escort you on board a relaxing river boar ride up the Thames to enjoy the beautiful sites as your expert local guide points out notable landmarks. Once we arrive at the Embankment, your guide will take you to the heart of London. You'll find yourself surrounded by centuries of history and the very foundations of the British monarchy. Westminster City is steeped in stories, with each corner revealing tales of kings and queens, political intrigue, and cultural milestones.Your morning ends at Buckingham Palace - Here you’ll enjoy plenty of time to take photographs to last a lifetime. It is a wonderful way to end a perfect London morning with your expert local guide.
