Itinerario
El Palacio de Buckingham sirve como residencia oficial de Su Majestad el Rey en Londres, y es uno de los pocos palacios reales en funcionamiento que quedan en el mundo hoy en día. Cada verano, cuando el Palacio no se está utilizando en su capacidad oficial, los visitantes pueden disfrutar de las 19 magníficas salas de estado que proporcionan el escenario para ocasiones ceremoniales y entretenimiento oficial por los miembros de la Familia Real. Las habitaciones están decoradas con muchos de los tesoros más grandes de la Colección Real, incluyendo pinturas de Rembrandt, Rubens y Van Dyck, escultura de Canova, exquisitos ejemplos de porcelana de Sèvres y algunos de los mejores muebles ingleses y franceses del mundo.
La primera parada de nuestro tour es un símbolo emblemático de Londres. La obra maestra de Sir Christopher Wren tardó 35 años en construirse y hoy es una de las iglesias más grandes del mundo. Increíblemente, esta imponente catedral abovedada fue también el edificio más alto de Londres hasta la década de 1960. Su construcción entre 1675-1710 fue parte de un programa de reconstrucción después de que la catedral original ubicada aquí fuera arrasada en el Gran Incendio de Londres en 1666: Con nada menos que siete capillas, innumerables estatuas y arte de valor incalculable en su interior, así como la cripta más grande de Europa, hay tesoros históricos y religiosos a la vuelta de cada esquina en San Pablo.
Explora casi 1.000 años de historia que comenzaron con la construcción de una fortaleza y residencia real por Guillermo el Conquistador. La larga historia de 'La Torre' es de encarcelamiento, asesinato y ejecución. La última persona ejecutada aquí fue en 1941, y a lo largo de los años espías, criminales e incluso reinas han encontrado su sangriento final de la mano del verdugo en la torre. La Torre de Londres también alberga la inestimable colección Crown Jewels. Esta brillante exhibición de gemas y oro incluye la Estrella de África, el diamante tallado más grande del mundo, así como una colección de coronas, túnicas y otros artículos de represalia ceremonial. Sería impropio dejar de mencionar los cuervos torre. La leyenda dice que al menos media docena debe permanecer dentro de los límites de la torre o la monarquía caerá. ¿Cuántos puedes ver en tu visita?
Después de visitar la Torre de Londres, diríjase al muelle de la Torre y salte en el siguiente barco disponible para un maravilloso crucero por el río Támesis. Disfrute de una vista única de la hermosa costa de Londres mientras se dirige al muelle de Westminster junto a las emblemáticas Casas del Parlamento.

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!

We look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future. Kind regards, Evan Evans Tours
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.

We truly value guest feedback as it helps us continually improve the quality of our tours and services. We are pleased to hear that the Palace tour met your expectations and that the meeting point was convenient. However, we regret that the remainder of your day did not proceed as smoothly as intended. We acknowledge your concerns regarding the walking distances from the drop-off points at St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London. 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. While the vouchers are offered as a flexible alternative, we understand the disappointment in not being able to use them during your stay. Your comments regarding the tour planning and guide performance have been noted and will be shared with our operations and training teams for review. It is our goal to ensure that all guides deliver clear communication, efficient time management, and support throughout the day.

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. It’s fantastic to know that her thorough and clear information enhanced your visit, and that she went above and beyond to ensure you didn’t miss any important sights. 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
