Westminster Walking Tour with a Local: 100% Personalized & Private

Summary Description

After greeting your private guide at a central London location, you’ll be introduced to landmarks such as Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament — two iconic London structures. Then, admire the exterior of Westminster Abbey and submit to the verdant splendor of St James’ Park, home to elegant swans and diverse flora, as you make your way to Buckingham Palace.

On arrival at Her Majesty the Queen’s official residence, you’ll hear of the building’s history from your guide and admire the elaborate architecture of Buckingham Palace. Then, browse the designer boutiques of one of Westminster’s best shopping streets before you revitalize in a local café with coffee, cake or cream tea at your own expense.

Sated, prepare for the crowds of Picadilly Circus — often compared to Times Square in New York — before exploring the quaint, cobbled streets of Covent Garden and its famous piazza. Browse bespoke boutiques and enjoy performances from entertainers before bidding your guide farewell at a central location.
