After meeting your guide by the Ritz Hotel (standing between the hotel and Green Park station), you'll start with a stroll to the Tudor gatehouse of St. James's Palace and then along the Mall to Buckingham Palace.
You'll get to see the famous Royal balcony and the Foot Guards standing station outside the palace. If the King happens to be in residence then you'll also be able to see the Royal Standard billowing from the flagpole on the roof.
Then you'll jump on one of London's iconic red buses for a short ride to the world famous Royal Albert Hall. After admiring the exterior of this Victorian landmark you'll walk through Kensington Gardens and past Queen Victoria's lavishly decorated Albert Memorial, until you're standing in front of her childhood home at Kensington Palace -- probably more famous these days as the home of Princess Diana, Prince William and Harry.
Along the way your guide will be explaining the history of the buildings, and sharing some of the fascinating history of Britain's Kings and Queens.
The experience will end with a traditional afternoon tea of dainty sandwiches, cakes and scones, and a selection of quality English teas.
Note: Entry to the palaces themselves is not included.
