Walk among London’s royal landmarks, hear stories of the monarchy, and watch the Changing of the Guard when conditions allow.

About this tour

Trace the stories of Britain’s monarchy on a guided walk through the streets of London. Over 1.5 to 2 hours, visit landmarks linked to royal history, including Queen Elizabeth II’s birthplace, St. James’s Palace, Queen’s Chapel, and Buckingham Palace. Along the way, your English-speaking guide shares tales of the Royal Family and points out lesser-known royal connections, from a favorite haunt of young royals to the esteemed Royal Jewelers.

When conditions allow, watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace before continuing toward Westminster Abbey, famed for hosting royal weddings. If inclement weather prevents the ceremony, the tour may instead pause for photos at Horse Guards. The route offers an engaging introduction to London’s royal landmarks and the people behind their stories.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
