Highlight Of Our Trip!

"We had an absolutely amazing time with Gavin. We booked him for a full day private family tour that included Westminster Abby, walks by Parliament & Buckingham Palace and The Tower of London. Gavin knew exactly how to cater the tour to my daughters (ages 14 and 10) and was a wealth of knowledge about every place we went. He was so engaging and just a pleasure to spend the day with. Absolutely book a tour with Gavin, you won't regret it. Our day with him was the highlight of our trip!"

Of course no tour of royal London would be complete without seeing a royal palace or two, as well as hearing the dramatic stories of the kings and queens who once lived inside.

You can also add a visit to the Royal Mews, where the horses, carriages and cars of the royal family are kept. One of the finest collection of carriages in the world. Including the spectacular Gold State Coach used for all the Coronations since the 1700's.

Finish with a visit to Horse Guards Parade to see the "Punishment Parade", a ceremony that marks the end of the Household Calvary's duties for the day.
