Reiseverlauf
Der Buckingham Palace dient als offizielle Londoner Residenz Seiner Majestät des Königs und ist einer der wenigen heute noch existierenden königlichen Paläste der Welt. Jeden Sommer, wenn der Palast nicht in seiner offiziellen Funktion genutzt wird, können Besucher die 19 herrlichen Prunksäle genießen, die den Rahmen für feierliche Anlässe und offizielle Unterhaltung durch Mitglieder der königlichen Familie bieten. Die Zimmer sind mit vielen der größten Schätze aus der königlichen Sammlung ausgestattet, darunter Gemälde von Rembrandt, Rubens und Van Dyck, Skulpturen von Canova, exquisite Beispiele von Sèvres Porzellan und einige der besten englischen und französischen Möbel der Welt.
Der erste Halt auf unserer Tour ist ein ikonisches Symbol Londons. Sir Christopher Wrens Meisterwerk brauchte 35 Jahre, um zu bauen und ist heute eine der größten Kirchen der Welt. Unglaublicherweise war diese hoch aufragende Kuppelkathedrale bis in die 1960er Jahre auch das höchste Gebäude Londons. Ihr Bau zwischen 1675-1710 war Teil eines Wiederaufbauprogramms, nachdem die ursprüngliche Kathedrale, die sich hier befand, 1666 beim Großen Brand von London weggefegt wurde: Mit nicht weniger als sieben Kapellen, unzähligen Statuen und unbezahlbarer Kunst im Inneren sowie Europas größter Krypta gibt es historische und religiöse Schätze um jede Ecke in St Paul's.
Entdecken Sie fast 1000 Jahre Geschichte, die mit dem Bau einer Festung und königlichen Residenz durch William den Eroberer begann. Die lange Geschichte von „The Tower“ ist eine von Gefangenschaft, Mord und Hinrichtung. Die letzte Person, die hier hingerichtet wurde, war 1941, und im Laufe der Jahre haben Spione, Kriminelle und sogar Königinnen ihr blutiges Ende durch die Henkershand am Turm gefunden. Der Tower of London beherbergt auch die unbezahlbare Crown Jewels Collection. Diese glitzernde Präsentation von Edelsteinen und Gold umfasst den Stern von Afrika, den größten geschliffenen Diamanten der Welt, sowie eine Sammlung von Kronen, Gewändern und anderen zeremoniellen Regalien. Es wäre unangebracht, die Turmraben nicht zu erwähnen. Der Legende nach muss mindestens ein halbes Dutzend innerhalb der Grenzen des Turms bleiben, sonst wird die Monarchie fallen. Wie viele können Sie bei Ihrem Besuch entdecken?
Nachdem Sie den Tower of London besucht haben, fahren Sie hinunter zum Tower Pier und springen Sie auf das nächste verfügbare Boot für eine wunderbare Kreuzfahrt auf der Themse. Genießen Sie einen einzigartigen Blick auf Londons wunderschöne Uferpromenade, während Sie zum Westminster Pier neben den legendären Houses of Parliament fahren.

David for the tour guide for this tour. He was very knowledgable, personable and funny. We saw the changing of the guard by walking to a corner spot that David pointed out as being better to see the guards. People start showing up like at 6 or 7 am. The tour started at 9:00 am so you would never get closer engough to see the changing of the guard in front of the castle. We has a street view and were able to see the guards. We also toured the Towers of London and the crown jewels which was very interesting. We chose not to do the river cruise as it was a long day. You can do the river cruise and get on the Eye of London - buy tickets before hand if you want to do this. The cruise tickets were good for several days but the Eye of London was for that day only.
Dear 399tammiec Thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that David made your tour so enjoyable with his knowledge, personable style, and humor. It’s great that his tips helped you get a fantastic view of the Changing of the Guard and that you enjoyed exploring the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels. Your insights about the river cruise and London Eye are very helpful for future travelers planning their day. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Best regards, Evan Evans Tours Team
Sheila was an awesome guide with great information and humor as well. Our driver was great too. Everything was on time. We went to Buckingham palace, st Pauls Cathedral, Crown Jewels and ended the day with Thames cruise. EvansEvans did a great job all around. Recommend!

The palace tour was fine. Mtg. Pt. was right next to the entrance. Alot of time before next tour. The bus trips to St. Paul's Cathedral and then the Tower of London had drop offs too far from entrance. This caused a lot of delays with the varied walking ability of the group. By the time we got in and out of the Tower it was really late for the cruise and sprinkling. We were given vouchers to use later, but due to our schedule, we never got to use them. Our guide, and general planning on this trip needs improved.

Accessibility and the varying walking abilities of our guests are important considerations, and we are currently reviewing our drop-off logistics to better accommodate all guests, especially in areas where access is limited due to traffic or regulations. We are also sorry to hear that timing delays impacted your ability to enjoy the river cruise and that, due to your schedule, the provided vouchers could not be used.

Arrived at the meeting point for the Buckingham Palace Tour ran by Evan Evans Tour's 45 minutes prior to the time the tour was commencing. Waited a further 45 minutes, until one of the other tourists made a phone call to his travel agent only to be advised this tour had been cancelled. We walked 15 minutes up to Evan Evans Tour office ( which was the meeting point for our 2nd part of the tour ) only to be advised then that the 1st part of our tour had been cancelled. When asked why they couldn't have sent a company representative down to advise us all of the cancellation, their response was they were under staffed & it's not their responsibility to advise us via phone, text or email. When asked about a partial refund, they stated only if we complete the second part of the tour, which we had completed. A very poor result, ending in not recommending Evan Evans Tour's to anyone, absolutely pathetic service on their behalf. Still waiting for the partial refund.
Dear Steven M, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding your recent experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the cancellation of the first part of your Buckingham Palace tour. We understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive early and not be informed in advance. Clear and timely communication is something we strive for, and we regret that we did not meet those standards in this instance. Regarding the refund process, we are sorry to hear of the difficulties you encountered. We aim to handle such matters promptly and fairly, and we apologize if this was not your experience. Please contact our customer service team directly at reservations@evanevanstours.co.uk, so we can ensure your refund is processed as soon as possible. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will be reviewing our procedures to prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Warm regards, The Evan Evans Team
We toured with Sheila and had a great time! The information was very thorough and clear. She went out of her way to make sure we didn’t miss anything along the way. On top of that, she would find us shade to stand it (which was important as it was quite hot).
Dear meridethk2025, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you had a great time touring with Sheila.

Her thoughtful gestures, like finding shade during the heat, truly reflect the care and attention we strive to provide for our guests. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Sheila — she will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated her efforts. Thank you once again for choosing Evan Evans. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon. Warm regards, The Evan Evans Team

The tour was just amazing with the guide Helene & Driver Emir who took us around the sights of London including the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathederal, the river cruise. She was an amazing guide who took us through the detailed history of the tower of London with the crown jewels and took a walking tour of the place. Amazing to see the tower and St. Paul's from inside. It was a wonderful and blessed experience to visit such a great church. Best visit that I ever had
