Itinerary

Meet your kid-friendly guide in front of Westminster Abbey and start your journey through the history of this iconic church! Your Blue Badge guide will show you the interior of the Abbey. Learn about the Abbey's role in the coronation of all English and British monarchs since William the Conqueror in 1066, and discover the final resting places of 17 kings and queens, and notable individuals like Isaac Newton, Charles Dickens, and Charles Darwin. Your guide will make history fun for the whole family, highlighting key spots like the Lady Chapel, Coronation site, Poet's Corner, the 700-year-old Coronation Throne, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, and the wedding site of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
After exploring Westminster Abbey, you will embark on a sightseeing tour to discover the most iconic spots in the City of Westminster. Marvel at the grandiose Palace of Westminster, home to the two chambers of the Houses of Parliament: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Your guide will share fascinating facts about British democracy, bringing the stories to life in a way that will captivate both you and your kids, making learning fun and engaging. This interactive tour is the perfect way to experience London's rich history and vibrant culture.
Adjacent to the Houses of Parliament is Big Ben, perhaps London's most iconic and well-known landmark. While the name Big Ben originally refers to the Great Bell inside Elizabeth Tower, it is now commonly used to describe both the clock and the tower. When it was installed in the mid-19th century, this clock was the largest in the world, and it still holds the title of the largest in Great Britain today.
Walk through St. James's Park is a beautiful, family-friendly oasis in the heart of London. It's the oldest of the city's Royal Parks and offers stunning views of Buckingham Palace. Kids will love the vibrant flower beds, playful pelicans, and friendly ducks.
As the official residence of the British monarch since 1837, it’s steeped in royal history. The palace boasts 775 rooms, including 19 state rooms that are open to the public during the summer months. Outside, you can witness the iconic Changing of the Guard ceremony, a colorful and lively tradition that captivates both kids and adults.
