During this additional tour, which will take place immediately before the main 'Seat of Monarchy - Royal Westminster' Walking Tour, your expert guide will introduce you to those members of the British royal family particularly associated with the buildings that feature in the Walking Tour, bringing to life their portraits and explaining their roles in the history of the monarchy.

Please dress appropriately for the outdoor Walking Tour. As well as suitable and comfortable footwear, it is sensible to bring sun protection in hotter weather or warm clothing if colder, and waterproofs if wet. We would also recommend bringing some drinking water.

Featuring an indoor gallery/museum tour (group size no more than 6, led by an experienced and expert qualified guide) in addition to the outdoor Walking Tour, our highly recommended and unique longer Experience Tours facilitate a deeper exploration of the theme of any tour. The indoor tour will bring to life the history of London across the centuries and bring guests face to face with individuals and /or artefacts relevant to the outdoor Walking Tour. (As well as the National Portrait Gallery, other examples of indoor sites featuring in our Experience Tours include the stunning remains of the Roman Amphitheatre and the Guildhall Art Gallery, both in the City of London, and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.)
