Visit Westminster Abbey and witness the famous Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, including a visit to the Guards Museum. Continue the day with a private high-speed boat ride along the Rive Thames. Your guide will take you to Windsor Castle, summer home of the Royal Family. Follow up your castle tour with an exclusive cooking class making scones and English tea in a traditional teahouse before learning how to shoot a bow and arrow in the English countryside.

Next, your guide leads you on a walking tour along the River Thames, taking you to the stunning Tower of London.
