Along the way, the guide leads through alleys and secret tunnels beneath the city that once served kings and queens. The tour includes a stop at St. James's Palace, the oldest royal palace in Westminster, known as the monarchy's official residence despite not currently housing the royal family. Participants will hear stories involving famous British figures such as Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, James Bond, Queen Elizabeth II, and an event where Ed Sheeran almost lost an ear during a night with a princess. The guide provides entertaining and humorous commentary while sharing tales of scandals, romance, and historic events. The tour includes visits to off-the-beaten-path pubs where guests can sample British beers, though food and drinks are not included.
