A full day experience, covering in depth tours of both Royal London and the eastern City of London.
See over 2000 years of history come to life with your own expert guide, from landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben to classic icons like St Pauls Cathedral, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge
Put together over our many years of experience, the Magical London Tour is intended to give visitors to London the most complete knowledge of our beautiful city.
Beginning in the morning with a specially guided visit to the Changing of the Guard Ceremony**, the tour offers visitors the chance to discover the major landmarks of both Royal London and the City of London at depth, including the Royal residences of St James and Buckingham Palace, Westminster and Big Ben, as well many of the hidden streets and squares which the tour buses miss.
In the afternoon visit the eastern City of London to learn all about the events that have shaped London's history, from its Roman foundations through the Great Fire and the Blitz before discovering the iconic Tower of London and the spectacular Tower bridge.
To complete the full day experience, there is a one hour lunch break made mid-way through the tour, with the opportunity to enjoy a meal or enjoy a spot of shopping.
Unlike other tours, the experience is not just an orientation service where you are left "to wander". It is also not just a drive where all the time is spent inside the vehicle:
Our tours are fully escorted, whether with a professional driver-guide at standard level (one person) or with your own sightseeing team at the VIP levels (professional tour guide plus, in addition, a chauffeur), so that you never miss a beat.
There are no parking problems or walking long distances to see the sights. The curbside service stops right by the attractions, away from the masses.
At standard level photo stops are made with commentary throughout. At our VIP levels with your own expert guide and extra chauffeur, stops are made at the key landmarks for you to go outside on walking tours led by your guide to sightsee in detail, hearing anecdotes and stories about London's past and present, while your chauffeur driven vehicle waits with no parking worries.
Put simply - there is no better way to help make the most of your valuable sightseeing time.
Guests can include up to 2 from the following 3 entrance options on this tour, which are offered with exclusive Fast Track entry, the best way to avoid the majority of the lines and help make the most of your experience:
1) London Eye
2) Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace (Royal Stables)
3) Crown Jewels at the Tower of London
See the "Optional Extras" tab above for further details on tickets.

It was a great way of seeing so much of London in one day. As a bonus, the fish and chips at the pub was the best we've ever had! We loved that our family was able to be shown London by our own tour guide. Having the extra driver meant we were first everywhere we went and no waiting in lines . It was so special. Thank you for the unforgettable memories.

We just toured with London Magical Tours and it was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and compassionate, we had a great time. Our chauffeur got us through the London traffic and we had the best day in London of our lives. We cannot wait to come back.
