One of the most requested and rewarding sightseeing tours available via TPO.Travel is the “Best of London” morning experience. This expertly guided tour showcases the British capital’s most iconic royal landmarks, offering clients privileged early access, historical context, and a relaxed, crowd-free experience.

This half-day itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to see the essential highlights of royal London in a short but immersive format.

1. Early Access to the Tower of London

The day begins at the formidable Tower of London, a site steeped in intrigue and royal drama. Once a royal palace, prison, and execution ground, the Tower is a must-see for history buffs and casual travelers alike.

Clients enjoy early access before general public entry, avoiding crowds and allowing a more intimate experience. If selected, they can also witness the Opening Ceremony, a rare and time-honored tradition performed by the Yeoman Warders, more commonly known as the Beefeaters.

The highlight of the visit is the world-famous Crown Jewels exhibition. Your clients will be among the first to view these glittering symbols of British monarchy, which include:

  • Bejeweled crowns and royal orbs
  • Scepters and swords used in coronations
  • Royal rings and priceless regalia held in the Tower for over 600 years

With the early start, visitors enjoy plenty of space and time to explore the grounds and museum-quality displays at their own pace, with commentary from an expert guide.

2. Thames River Cruise – A Panoramic Journey

Next, the group boards a scenic Thames River boat ride, traveling upstream through central London. This peaceful cruise offers stunning views of the city’s skyline and landmarks as the guide provides captivating commentary on what’s visible along the way.

Guests can sit back and enjoy the journey as they pass:

  • Tower Bridge
  • Shakespeare’s Globe
  • St. Paul’s Cathedral
  • The London Eye
  • The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben

This relaxing interlude provides a different perspective of London’s grandeur and bridges the transition from medieval history to modern-day ceremonial life.

3. Royal Walk to Buckingham Palace via St. James’s Park

Upon disembarking near the Embankment, the tour continues with a guided walking route through royal London. The guide shares insights about the monarchy’s traditions, residences, and little-known anecdotes about Britain’s most famous family.

Key highlights include:

  • St. James’s Palace: Built by Henry VIII, this historic residence still houses members of the Royal Family.
  • St. James’s Park: A serene green space once home to a royal menagerie, perfect for photos and a quick stroll.
  • The Mall: This ceremonial avenue, resembling a red carpet, leads directly to Buckingham Palace.
  • Clarence House: A royal residence previously inhabited by King Charles III when he was the Prince of Wales.

4. Changing of the Guard – A Regal Spectacle

Depending on the day of the tour, clients will witness one of several Changing of the Guard ceremonies:

  • Foot Guards at Buckingham Palace (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday): Includes the famous bearskin hats and precision marching.
  • Horse Guards Parade (Daily): Mounted cavalry in full regalia perform the ceremonial handover of duties.
  • Saturday Special – Guard Mounting Inspection: The Captain of the New Guard conducts a formal inspection of the soldiers’ uniforms and equipment.

Each ceremony is a captivating display of discipline, tradition, and pageantry, offering a quintessential British experience. The guide ensures guests are in the perfect position to capture memorable photos and understand the history behind the ritual.

5. A Perfect Finish at Buckingham Palace

The final stop is Buckingham Palace, the heart of the monarchy and the Queen’s (now King’s) principal residence. While interior tours are not part of this package, clients will have ample time to admire the palace exterior and take photographs, especially of the iconic balcony used for royal appearances during state celebrations.
