Tour description

Are you on holiday or on a short business trip in London? Do you want to learn, laugh and jump into a free adventure into London's past, present and future, with an experienced tour guide ? 

You are in the right place! 

On the road to Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, I will do my best to explain to you why Samuel Johnson (not Boris!) once wrote : 


“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of Life, for there is in London all that life can afford”. 


So come in and discover 2000 years of History in less than 2 hours: 

  • Buckingham Palace
  • Houses of Parliament
  • "Big Ben"
  • Westminster Abbey
  • Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column
  • Horse Guards Parade
  • Wellington Arch 
  • St Martin's In The Field
  • National Gallery
  • The Commonwealth Gates
  • St James' Palace and Park
  • The Mall and Pall Mall
  • Waterloo Place
  • 10 Downing Street
  • Churchill War Rooms


On Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday the 10 am tour will see and hear the horse guard and the army band march by us for the Changing of the Guard ceremony (Unless canceled due to rain or other reason.)

 

What you will have : 

  • funny anecdotes and stories about London and the UK ;
  • Ideas for restaurants, pubs and hidden gems in London;
  • a good laugh or two


What you may have : 

  • A quick chat with Royal Squirrels and  Pelicans;
  • A public meeting with Royals ;
  • The possibility to test your ability to truly "sing in the rain"

Really enjoyed my tour. Alexis was very informative. You learn so much more from doing these guided tours rather than just wandering round on your own.
