Itinerary

Start your lovely day with a visit to the grand Buckingham Palace, the official home of His Majesty the King, with an audio guide. This beautiful royal building is one of the most famous places in London. You will get to explore the stunning State Rooms, which are filled with elegant French and English furniture. Inside, you’ll see beautiful art by famous painters like Rembrandt and Canaletto, and even sculptures and fancy porcelain. You will also get to walk through the palace garden, which is often called a peaceful oasis in the heart of busy London. The garden is home to many birds and wild flowers. At the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy a quiet stroll by the lake and see the west front of the palace.
After your visit to the palace, it’s time to relax and enjoy a lovely afternoon tea. End the day with afternoon tea, the ultimate British tradition, delighting your senses with delicious savoury treats and sweet freshly baked goods. You have two exciting options to choose from- Afternoon Tea at the Wellington Hotel or Panoramic Afternoon Tea Bus. Whether you pick the peaceful and classic setting of The Wellington Hotel or the lively and scenic tea bus ride, this tour is a great way to enjoy a royal London experience. 
First, you can walk over to the elegant Wellington Hotel for an Afternoon Tea at Wellington Hotel. You’ll be served delicious finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and sweet pastries. You can sip on a variety of fine teas in a warm and cozy setting. If you’re looking for a more fun and scenic experience, you can head to Bullied Way in Victoria for your second option—the Panoramic Afternoon Tea Bus Tour. You will hop on a stylish English double-decker tea bus. You will be welcomed with a glass of Prosecco or a soft drink.
