The Classic London tour is great for a first-time visitor to London. Wanna see all the really famous bits in one morning? Let's do it! We'll start off in the heart of royal London, see if the king's at home in Buckingham Palace, catch the pelicans in St. James' Park, and pass by Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.

If you'd like to catch the famous Changing of the Guard, booking this tour for a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday morning will give us the best chance of seeing it. However, please be aware that the Changing of the Guard can be called off at short notice, so we are never guaranteed to see it.

The route has some overlap with the Votes For Women and I Never Knew That About Westminster tours.
