Our taxi tour guide will share a wealth of royal knowledge with you about past and present monarchs. You will hear stories of revolution, scandals that rocked the monarchy and royal romance.
If the changing of the guard is timetabled on the morning as your 4 hour tour then we can stop for 10/15 minutes to observe. Spend some of your 4-hour tours enjoying typical London pastimes, like a drink in an old London pub, tasting some great fish and chips, or visiting a London market. Just let your guide know if you would like to include any of the above on your tour.
