Experience London’s highlights and big sights on a private city tour
London: one of the great world cities, jam-packed with amazing buildings and iconic landmarks.
I’m a born and bred London tour guide who enjoys providing commentary and anecdotes about all our tour stops and London’s historic sights. I’ve designed three private London sightseeing tours for you to enjoy: 3-hours, 5-hours or 7-hours. The longer we tour the more you’ll see.
| London Highlights x 3 hours: Focuses on the big landmarks in Westminster and Royal London – Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament & Big Ben, Whitehall and Trafalgar Square.
London Highlights + More x 5 hours: You’ll see all of the above plus St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe, Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Perhaps Borough Market too. London Big Day Out x 7 hours: The ultimate sightseeing tour. You’ll see everything covered in the tours above and more. Visiting the big sights and back streets there’s also time for a bit more depth, perhaps seeing things you weren’t expecting. This tour can also be customized. Mix and Match with Beatles or Harry Potter sights. Graham can also include guided highlights of the British Museum, National Gallery or St Paul’s Cathedral. |
- Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace can be included in any of these tours. See below for details and timetables.
Tour with a local guide: qualified, verified, experienced and friendly.
I’m your private guide and driver and I’ll be explaining as we explore. These are not drive-by tours. Lots of stops and some walking: to look at, photo and talk about London’s great landmarks.
Everywhere we go is in the open, or if inside, is free of charge. London is BIG and although we can’t possibly do ‘everything’ in one day, I’ll select the best of London for you to enjoy.
Having a driver/walking guide like me conducting your tour in a London taxi is super-efficient and will help to make the day enjoyable and memorable.
NB: Tours visit but do not go inside Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral or Tower of London. These are big, paid-for attractions.
| Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace
This colourful, moving spectacle encompasses marching bands and guards, tradition and pageantry. Graham can guide you through some of its key moments during any of his Highlights Tours. If you’d like this included please tell Graham in advance or on the day.
Changing of the Guard can also be a part of this tour: Royal Rascals & Scandalous Sovereigns |
