“If you want to learn more about Westminster and experience a wealth of attractions—many with strong ties to the Royal Family—don’t miss this tour. Our guide, Connor, was not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also warm, kind, and genuinely hilarious. He was also wonderfully quick-thinking: while we were viewing a sculpture of the late Queen Mother, he suddenly spotted a police brigade and whisked us over just in time to see Queen Camilla, resplendent in a wide hat, being driven from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace. I’ve visited London many times, but my tour with Connor will always stand out as one of the most memorable.”
