Private Tour Dedicated to You

Your private, expert English-speaking guide, dedicated entirely to you and no one else, will escort you through the epicenter of British society, culture and history. Tailored to you and your interests, at a pace you enjoy, so you can take all the photos and ask all the questions your heart desires.

Westminster Abbey with Skip-the-Line Access

Considered the spiritual home of the Royal Family, this 700-year-old church has hosted countless royal weddings and coronations. In fact, every monarch since William the Conqueror in 1066 has been crowned here, the most recent being Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Westminster Abbey is also the final resting place of renowned poets, monarchs and other famous figures, including Isaac Newton, Charles Dickens, Henry V, and all the Tudors except Henry VIII. At the west end of the nave, is the grave of The Unknown Warrior whose body was brought from France during WWI.

Stroll Through Parliament Square

On our way to the Tower of London, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the political heart of Britain, Parliament Square. Your private guide will enrich the experience through entertaining anecdotes about the country’s most colorful historical figures, like Winston Churchill, who held influence in the Houses of Parliament.

Pre-Reserved Tickets to the Tower of London

No stone of the Tower of London’s formidable history will be left unturned as you are guided along its pathways. View the locations of executions and beheadings, tour the Royal Armouries, see the Tower Green, and gaze upon the famous White Tower, a medieval keep where the ‘Princes in the Tower’ were allegedly murdered by their uncle Richard III in order to seize the throne.

No tour is complete without visiting the Jewel House, home to the Crown Jewels for the past 600 years. Stand in awe before the priceless bejeweled scepters, swords, orbs, rings and crowns, still used as official regalia and vestments by the Sovereign of the United Kingdom during appearances and coronations. As the official guided part of the tour comes to an end, your experience doesn’t have to. Feel free to further explore the tower’s unique (some would say dark and sinister) ambiance at your leisure.

    FAQs

    • When can I amend my booking? (Tours in Europe)

      A booking cannot be amend with less than 24 hours notice. Amendments made before this window are possible, but may incur a charge. Any bookings made within the 24 hour window are final and cannot be amended or subject to compensation. Please note that this amendment policy does not apply to all Colosseum Underground Tour and the Colosseum by Night Tour that starts at 19:30 or later, due to the fact that Colosseum Underground entry tickets must be purchased using the full name of each passenger and cannot be modified or canceled.

    • Is an advanced booking necessary or can I just show up at the meeting point?

      We strongly advise against arriving at the meeting point without a booking as we cannot guarantee that there will be space left on the tour. Our guides are unable to accept payment for tours so any bookings made on the spot will still need to be processed over the phone with payment by credit card.

    • I would like to add another person to my booking

      We are happy to assist with this request - availability permitting. Please contact our Customer Care Team who can check availability on the tour and take payment for the additional booking, as payment details are not saved in our system for security reasons.
