If the UK’s monarchy is something you are interested in then we have the private taxi tour for you! Your 4 hour taxi tour will take you to all the palaces and castles that our Kings and Queens, Princes and Princess have lived through a millennium and will include the ceremonial routes that our monarchs took for coronations and royal weddings. 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.
