Looking for a special VIP tour of London? You've found it. See the the Westminster area, the Tower of London, and more, as well as taking a cool cruise up the Thames. The best way to see a lot of London in just one morning!

You might get goosebumps hearing about the former prison and execution site of not one, not two, but three Queens of England at the Tower of London - perhaps unsurprisingly rumoured to be haunted. You'll be one of the first to step inside, so there will be no annoying crowds or elbows as you get up close to the crown jewels!

Find out what treasures have been kept here for 600 years. What's the story behind those sparkling orbs and swords, and which special events have meant they've left those glass cases?

Your tour will end at Buckingham Palace, home to Her Royal Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II. Snap a photo of the famous balcony, where the royal family appears during major events. We dare you not to practice your royal wave!

This tour is the best way to spend a morning in London – it's educational and a whole lot of fun.

Foot Guard Option: The Changing of the Foot Guard at Buckingham Palace involves foot soldiers from the Household Division and occurs on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Horse Guard Option: The Changing of the Horse Guards at Horse Guards Parade features mounted cavalry from the Household Cavalry and takes place daily. This is the event you'll see if you book a tour on Tuesday or Thursday.

Saturday Show: On Saturday, the event is known as the "Guard Mounting" or "Inspection of the New Guard" at Horse Guards Parade. During the inspection, the Captain of the New Guard checks the soldiers to ensure their uniforms and equipment are in pristine condition before they take over duties from the Old Guard
