Begin with an orientation tour of London alongside your Travel Director. See Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Then head to St. James’s Palace to watch the Old Guard parade and Changing of the Guard procession. Armed with your travel pass, this afternoon is free for you to explore. You might join an Optional Experience walking through Soho’s backstreets, sampling local favorites and hearing stories of the area’s past. Later, choose another Optional Experience visiting the National Gallery with a Local Specialist who’ll give insight into its most well-known works. Afterwards, there’s time to explore Covent Garden, known for its shops, street performers and food spots.
