You'll begin this tour with skip-the-line admission to Westminster Abbey, the site of royal coronations for over 1,000 years. This World Heritage Site is where every British monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned. It has welcomed Kings, Queens and politicians, and has also been the venue for state funerals and royal weddings.
Following your visit to the abbey, your guide will lead you to see the Changing of the Guards ceremony. Depending on the day of the week, the ceremony will either take place at Buckingham Palace or the Horse Guards Parade. Your guide will suggest a prime position to view the formalities and share the history of the tradition.
Your tour will end at Buckingham Palace, the residence of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. There, you'll get to see the balcony where the royal family appears for major events and hear tales of intruders and princes climbing the walls.
