Why take a Chauffeur-Driven Heritage Tour?
When visiting for the first time, visitors tend to try to see all of the city by foot or on the tube, which results in them getting too tired to take any photos. You can select a tour that is tailored specifically for you and your party, so that you benefit from:
- Pick up from your Gatwick terminal, accommodation in Crawley or London hotel.
- Time Management: Explore all the sights in one day, with a smooth, embedded tour.
- Unparalleled Comfort: Travel in a comfortable luxury climate controlled and rid of the whims of British weather.
- Local Knowledge: Our drivers know the best places to go, the best photo spots and secret places they can go.
The Royal Itinerary: What you will experience
London's Royal Heritage Tour is a well thought-out selection of the best of London. A brief description of the memorable places along the way.
1. Buckingham Palace
The official abode of His Majesty the King must be seen at least once while visiting London! Buckingham Palace is the heart of British royalty. On the way to the palace gates, which are breathtaking, you will be welcomed by the amazing sight of the red paved Mall. Depending on time, you might even see the world-renowned Changing of the Guard ceremony, a stunning performance of British ceremony and pageantry which sees soldiers don their red tunic and bearskin hats. Your driver will take you to the best place to take the perfect picture of the iconic balcony and the Victoria Memorial.
2. Westminster Abbey
A short but scenic jaunt from the palace is the historic heart of British royal events: Westminster Abbey. Since 1066 the Coronation of British monarchs has taken place at this magnificent Gothic church. It's also where royal weddings, such as those of Prince William and Kate Middleton, happen and the resting place of great men and women, including Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, and many kings and queens.
3. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
The Elizabeth Tower, popularly known as Big Ben, the world's largest bell, stands majestically on the banks of the River Thames and is the iconic symbol of London. This is the place that has influenced the UK's political history for centuries and is attached to the beautiful Palace of Westminster (aka the Houses of Parliament). Your driver will stop at the most perfect spots (usually across the river or on Westminster Bridge) to get you your most amazing photos with the iconic clock face as the backdrop.
4. Thames River Area
London's lifeblood is the River Thames. On our riverbank tour, you'll experience a fantastic juxtaposition of old and new. The modern London Eye observation wheel will be contrasted with the historic architecture. London has developed from a Roman settlement into a modern, cosmopolitan city, and the Thames River area is a dynamic backdrop that reflects this.
5. The Tower of London and Tower Bridge
Next up on the tour will be the last great historical landmark of the day – Tower Bridge – so be ready to get amazed! Tower Bridge - the magnificent Victorian suspension bridge, often mistakenly referred to as 'London Bridge' and used for tall ships to open. The impressive neo-Gothic towers are a wonder of 19th century engineering.
The Tower of London is adjacent to it. This ancient castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1066, and has been used as a royal residence, a prison, and the present home of the glittering Crown Jewels. Your driver will provide enough time for you to see both the monuments and, since they're located along the river banks, walk along the beautiful river paths to see the sheer scale of these monuments.
Deluxe Afternoon Tea (after 1 pm)
When it comes to British culture no trip to London is complete without a traditional Afternoon Tea. For your Royal Heritage Tour we can book a visit to one of London's luxury hotels or prestigious tea rooms as an additional service.
After a morning of sightseeing, imagine sitting down to a tiered slice of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam and a choice of exquisite pastries all accompanied by a steaming pot of Earl Grey or English Breakfast tea. This is the perfect, classy break during your day of exploring.
