Buckingham Palace & Crown Jewels of London Tour med flodkryssning
Beskrivning
Upptäck det bästa av London på denna underbara eskorterade tur, som tar dig till stadens mest ikoniska landmärken. Börja din dag på Buckingham Palace, där du kommer att bevittna den brittiska monarkins storhet och, om det är rätt tidpunkt, den berömda vaktombytesceremonin. Därefter beger du dig till St. Paul’s Cathedral, ett ikoniskt mästerverk med en spektakulär kupol och en historia på mer än 300 år. Din upplevelse fortsätter till Tower of London, som finns med på UNESCO:s världsarvslista, där du får upptäcka berättelser om kungligheter, fångar och de legendariska kronjuvelerna. Avsluta dagen med en härlig Thames River-kryssning, med panoramautsikt över stadens skyline när du glider förbi landmärken som Shard, London Eye och Houses of Parliament.

Resplan
Buckingham Palace fungerar som Hans Majestät Kungens officiella Londonresidens och är ett av de få kvarvarande fungerande kungliga palatsen i världen idag. Varje sommar när slottet inte används i sin officiella egenskap kan besökare njuta av de 19 magnifika statsrummen som ger en miljö för ceremoniella tillfällen och officiellt underhåll av medlemmar av den kungliga familjen. Rummen är inredda med många av de största skatterna från den kungliga samlingen, inklusive målningar av Rembrandt, Rubens och Van Dyck, skulptur av Canova, utsökta exempel på Sèvres porslin och några av de finaste engelska och franska möblerna i världen.
Första stoppet på vår tur är en ikonisk symbol för London. Sir Christopher Wrens mästerverk tog 35 år att bygga och är idag en av världens största kyrkor. Otroligt nog var denna höga kupolförsedda katedral också den högsta byggnaden i London fram till 1960-talet. Byggandet mellan 1675-1710 var en del av ett återuppbyggnadsprogram efter att den ursprungliga katedralen som låg här sveptes bort i den stora branden i London 1666: Med inte mindre än sju kapell, otaliga statyer och ovärderlig konst inuti, samt Europas största krypta, finns det historiska och religiösa skatter runt varje hörn på St Paul's.
utforska nästan 1000 år av historia som började med byggandet av en fästning och kungligt residens av William Erövraren. Tornets långa historia handlar om fängelse, mord och avrättning. Den sista personen som avrättades här var 1941, och genom åren har spioner, brottslingar och till och med drottningar mött sitt blodiga slut av bödelns hand vid tornet. Tower of London är också hem till den ovärderliga Crown Jewels Collection. Denna glittrande uppvisning av ädelstenar och guld inkluderar Afrikas stjärna, världens största slipade diamant, samt en samling kronor, dräkter och andra föremål av ceremoniella regalier. Det vore olämpligt att inte nämna tornkorparna. Legenden säger att minst ett halvt dussin måste hålla sig inom tornets gränser annars faller monarkin. Hur många kan du se på ditt besök?
Efter att ha besökt Tower of London, gå ner till Tower Pier och hoppa på nästa tillgängliga båt för en underbar kryssning nerför Themsen. Njut av en unik utsikt över Londons vackra strand när du beger dig till Westminster Pier bredvid de ikoniska Houses of Parliament.

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.

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.

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
