Full Description

This private London tour is ideal for visitors who are in the city for the first time and want a complete introduction without losing time in traffic. London is a large and busy capital, and the best way to explore it is by combining walking with the famous London Underground and public buses.

We begin in central London and travel together through the historic heart of the city, starting with Westminster, where you will see the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey, the traditional coronation church of English monarchs.

From there we continue to Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the King, and learn about the British royal family and the traditions of the monarchy.

Our journey continues to Trafalgar Square, the symbolic centre of London, followed by Covent Garden, one of the most lively districts in the city, known for its markets, street performers, and theatres.

Using the Underground, we then travel to the City of London, the ancient financial district founded by the Romans. Here we will see St Paul’s Cathedral, the Bank of England, and historic streets that show how London grew over two thousand years.

Finally, we reach the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, two of the most famous landmarks in Britain, where the story of kings, queens, prisoners, and empire comes together.

Because we use public transport, we avoid traffic and are able to see more of London in a relaxed and efficient way.

This tour is flexible and can always be adapted to your interests, pace, and available time.
