About this tour

Step into the working world of royal transport at the Royal Mews, where historic carriages and the horses that draw them remain part of palace life. This London Royal Mews experience brings you close to vehicles used by the Royal Family, from the dazzling Gold State Coach to the Diamond Jubilee State Coach and the Australian State Coach.

Explore the collection at your own pace with a complimentary multimedia guide, available in eight languages. Learn how the Mews trains Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, and see the Gold State Coach, used at every coronation since William IV. The Australian State Coach, known for its central heating and electric windows, carried Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace after the 2011 Royal Wedding. The Diamond Jubilee State Coach conveyed Queen Elizabeth II to the State Opening of Parliament in 2014.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.75 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • 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: this tour scores 7.0.
