Itinerary

Meet your guide at St James’s Park Tube Station (Broadway Exit), they will be holding a sign with your name on it.
Begin your tour in the City of Westminster with a kid-friendly professional guide who will share fascinating facts about London's history and culture through engaging stories and activities. Designed to entertain children and keep them interested, the tour includes a visit to the stunning Gothic facade of Westminster Abbey. This iconic church is not only one of the most famous in England but also the United Kingdom's most significant religious building. As a UNESCO heritage site, Westminster Abbey is the traditional venue for the coronation of British monarchs, making it a must-see on your family adventure.
The impressive Houses of Parliament, located right next to Westminster Abbey, are another iconic landmark in London, serving as the meeting place for the House of Commons and the House of Lords. You will also come across Big Ben, the world’s largest chiming clock. This famous structure, with its four faces and 11 floors, rises to a height of 315 feet (96 meters).
As you stroll along Whitehall, a major road in the City of Westminster, your guide will point out and explain the significance of all the famous monuments and buildings you encounter, including the statue of Winston Churchill, Downing Street, and Horse Guards Parade. Along the way, your guide will captivate you with intriguing anecdotes about British history, making it a far more engaging way to learn than from a textbook!
As we arrive at Buckingham Palace, the official home for British monarchs in London since 1837 and where the Queen works, get ready to soak in its royal history. This place is buzzing with royal ceremonies and events, and it is where big national celebrations happen. If the weather is good and it is on the schedule, we might catch the Changing of the Guard—it's quite a show! Our guide knows all the best spots to see it, even with all the people around. It's going to be a super memorable part of our tour!
Hop on the Tube, the oldest metro system ever, to head over to the City of London, the oldest part of Greater London. You will check out remnants of the ancient London Wall, built by the Romans during the mighty Roman Empire to keep the city safe. It's like stepping back in time!
Lastly, you will visit St. Paul's Cathedral, an amazing architectural marvel where many national celebrations take place. Its impressive dome is a famous part of London's skyline and recognized worldwide.
