This full-day escorted tour lasts about nine and a half hours and travels by superior coach from London to two major royal sites. The tour begins at Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the King. Visitors spend around two hours inside the Palace during the summer opening, exploring 19 State Rooms used for ceremonies and official events. Highlights include the Throne Room, the White Drawing Room with its large crystal chandelier, and the Music Room where State Visit guests are presented. After Buckingham Palace, the tour continues with a visit to Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest continuously inhabited castle in Europe. The 90-minute visit covers the State Apartments, which showcase royal art collections from monarchs such as Charles II and George IV. Visitors receive a free multimedia guide for a self-directed tour and, between October and March, can also walk through the Semi-State Apartments, formerly the private rooms of George IV. The final stop is St George's Chapel within Windsor Castle, where visitors have about 20 minutes to see the site of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding. The chapel also holds the tombs of historical monarchs like Henry VIII and Charles I. If the King is in residence, the Royal Standard may be visible atop the Round Tower. The tour includes admission fees to Buckingham Palace State Rooms and Windsor Castle, onboard Wi-Fi and USB charging, and the assistance of a guest service assistant. Hotel pickup and lunch are not included.
