Trafalgar Tours London Half Day Sightseeing Tour 2009

<![CDATA[
<![CDATA[

Most Trafalgar Tours starting in London include a half day included sightseeing tour known as “Regal London”. This tour starts at your London hotel at approximately 8 am on the first day after your arrival from USA or Canada.

Upon arrival at your hotel on the first day of the tour after being transferred from the airport you will meet a Trafalgar Tours representative if you have arrived during their rostered hours for that day. If you arrive outside these hours there will be either and or, a letter of arrival at reception or a notice board which will specify a time of departure for the sightseeing tour the next morning. For your own benefit and that of others on the tour I advise you be in reception 5 to 10 minutes before the scheduled departure.

The tour will be conducted by a registered London “Blue Badge” guide. Blue Badge guides are highly trained professionals and have a remarkable knowledge of London. Local guides can bring a city to life and I would recommend a tip of one pound per person at the end of the tour if they have fulfilled your expectations.

The Regal London tour will see many of London’s highlights largely in the West End of the city, including such highlights as Knights Bridge, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. A stop will be made at Westminster Abbey with time to admire not only the Abbey but also The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

The highlight of the morning will be a stop at Buckingham Palace where you will witness the pageantry of the Changing of the Guard. One thing to keep in mind is that if there is rain then the Changing of the Guard does not operate. In this event Trafalgar will make a visit to the Horse guards Parade at White Hall as a substitute.

At the end of the Regal London half day sightseeing tour there will be two choices of drop off.

1. Trafalgar Tours London Reception Center at approximately 11.45 am.

2. Harrods. A short time after that.
