About this tour

See the royal and political heart of the capital on this London Royal Westminster Tour. Walk through beautiful royal parks, pass the Prime Minister’s home, and hear how the monarchy and government have shaped more than 1,000 years of British history.

Along the way, discover royal palaces, the places where monarchs are crowned, and stories of hidden rooms beneath government buildings. Look out for the King’s swans, inspect the guards, and stop for a photo of Big Ben, with a guide to explain why the famous clock tower is often mistaken for the bell itself. The Changing of the Guard is included when it takes place, with the guide leading you to a good viewing spot. On some days, you may even get a chance to wave to the King.

Led by a local guide, this 150-minute London Royal Westminster Tour brings landmark sights and royal stories together on foot. Meet by the black water fountain after exiting Green Park Station via the Buckingham Palace exit, and set off to explore the city’s most storied streets.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 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 7.4. Top 30% in London means it ranks in the top 30% of tours in London by this score.
