Luxe’s Royal London Walking Tour Itinerary:

The home and office belonging to Her Majesty the Queen is called Buckingham Palace and has been home to the Monarchs of England since 1837. Because of this, it needs to be guarded 24 hours a day. But by whom? Well, book this tour and all will be revealed!

On this tour, your guide will take you on a walk through the royal parks which hug Buckingham Palace, and you will hear how the Palace and area came to be. Along your walk, your guide will point out important sites, which are linked to the Royal family, and then situate you in a prime location to watch the Changing of the Guard. The Guard change occurs every 48 hours and is a ceremony full of tradition, pomp, and drum beats, marching feet at the ready.

Travel with Luxe! Amy at Luxe Travel took our desire to visit England and put together a fabulous itinerary for my wife and I. Our tour opened with a few days seeing the sights of London including some locations we may not have considered without Amy's expert knowledge. We then went off on an extended 10-day tour of the English countryside. Luxe took care of all the details for driver, Blue Badge guide and booked all accommodations. We wanted the hotels to be one-of-a-kind boutique style hotels and Amy delivered that in spades. The hotels were all fun with just the right amount of quirky personality. Well done! I want to compliment Amy and her staff for being responsive, detail oriented and contributing many suggestions including best times to visit. Luxe Travel handled the details toward making our tour of England the trip of a lifetime for us.
