Itinerary

London Panoramic Tour
This tour starts with a drive to some of London's most famous locations. Admire the twelve sculptures of notable leaders at Parliament Square, such as Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela. Then we'll walk by Nelson's Column, which is located in Trafalgar Square. Admiral Nelson's victory in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 is commemorated with this statue. After that, you'll go via Kensington, Hyde Park Corner, and Piccadilly on your way to Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace.

Hampton Court Palace
Upon entering the splendid royal palace located in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames, you will be greeted by a knowledgeable Palace Host. They will give you an overview of this lavish riverfront home and take you on a tour to see the State Apartments, Tudor Kitchens, and other features.

Henry VIII's favourite advisor, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, constructed Hampton Court Palace in 1515. Cardinal Wolsey was formerly the second most influential man in the English court, after the King, but he lost Henry's favour when he couldn't get his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled so he could wed Anne Boleyn, his newest passion. Following Wolsey's demise in 1530, Hampton Court was taken over by Henry VIII, who used it as a platform to display his vast fortune by converting it into a hotel, theatre, and expansive private playground.

Following their accession to the throne in 1689, William III and Mary II (1689–1702) hired Sir Christopher Wren to construct a new, exquisite Baroque palace. Since its public opening in 1838 by Queen Victoria, the palace has continued to be one of England's most popular historical sites. Explore the enormous kitchens where chefs would have toiled day and night to deliver Henry his roasted swan and stolen dolphin. Remember to visit the stunning gardens and try your luck at escaping the world's oldest surviving maze.

Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest habitable castle in the world, is King Charles III's chosen weekend home. Look for unique paintings by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci on the walls as you go through the magnificent State Apartments.

Explore Queen Mary's Dolls' House, featuring electricity, hot and cold running water, and little objects crafted by 1,500 of the greatest 20th-century artisans. Explore St George's Chapel, the site of Harry and Meghan's nuptials, as well as the final resting places of Queen Elizabeth II, Henry VIII, and several other royals.
