The guided walk is included; food and drink depend on the option, and the dining reservation excludes both. 5 from 30 reviews at €118 per person for 2h. ## Overview A private tour with a local five star guide steeped in Royal History, Aristocratic Heritage & luxury indulgence. Optional Local Hotel Pickup This walking experience takes in the ceremonial royal area of London before finishing on a high with a glass of Imperial Brut champagne served at the flagship Moet et Chandon bar in possibly the most famous store in the world, Harrods. We begin with a private leisurely stroll around St James & learn of its famous and infamous residents. We will then approach St James Palace, the London home of Monarchs since Henry VIII & where King Charles III was proclaimed King. Buckingham Palace & Clarence House are on view as we follow in the footsteps of Royalty towards the Duke of Wellington's home before reaching Harrods. We will explore the magnificent food hall before you are welcomed into the one and only Moet et Chandon Bar for a crisp, refreshing, & most importantly, well-deserved glass of Imperial Brut champagne accompanied by delicious canapes. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 17 pickup points - Starts 12:00, 14:00, 15:00: 3 departures a day - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €58: ages 0 to 0 ## Key facts - Price: from €118 per person for the Private Buckingham & St James Palace Walk & Harrods A La Carte option; other options up to €165 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 30 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Top Tasting Tours ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Private Buckingham & St James Palace Walk & Harrods A La Carte | €118 / person | English | We finish at the Grill: This option ends at the Grill on the 5th floor after a tour of Harrods A La Carte: Thos option allows you to choose your own food and drink at the Grill on the 5th Floor at Harrods.
