PANORAMIC TOUR OF LONDON - During this morning tour, we will first see the
West End of London, passing by famous sites such as Piccadilly Circus,
Knightsbridge, Hyde Park, Mayfair, Trafalgar Square,Westminster and many more.
We will then stop to see the Changing of the Guard take place before visiting
Buckingham Palace.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE - The official London residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
II and serves as both home and office and is one of the few working royal
palaces in the world today. Its nineteen State Rooms form the heart of the
working palace and are open for just eight weeks a year. They are lavishly
furnished with some of the finest treasures from the Royal Collection.
At this year's Summer Opening of the State Rooms, the 50th anniversary of Her
Majesty's Coronation will be celebrated with a display of the magnificent
Coronation Dress and Robe of Estate, with the first public showing of the 30
metre Coronation frieze commissioned by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
The garden at Buckingham Palace has been described as a 'walled oasis in the
middle of London'. It is perhaps best known as the setting for The Queen's
summer garden parties and the spectacular Golden Jubilee Concerts. Visitors to
the Summer Opening end their tour with a walk along the south side of the
garden, which gives splendid views of the west front of the palace and the
famous lake.
This year the admission price includes an audio guide - available in English,
French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.
Your tour finishes here so that you can spend as much time as you wish.
