About this experience

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.

Kind, intelligent, and gracious experience

David Anthony was an outstanding guide for our London tour. He’s truly a lifelong Londoner and a scholar of the city’s history, which made every stop along the way fascinating. He brought the sites to life for our family and kept things engaging for both adults and kids. What impressed us most was his incredible sense of timing and logistics. For events like the Changing of the Guard, he knew exactly when things would happen and precisely where we should stand—down to the minute—so we could experience everything perfectly without any stress or guesswork. To top it off, he guided us through Harrods at the end of the day, introducing us to some fantastic foods and snacks before finishing with a lovely champagne and snack experience. It was a thoughtful and memorable way to end the tour. David made the entire day seamless, informative, and genuinely fun. Highly recommended.

Response from the operator: Dear Phil, It was a pleasure hosting you and I appreciate the comprehensive review. It was a joy to escort you and your Mom around the area. I'm sorry your son was not well enough to join us and wish you all the best for your stay in London. I hope we will meet next time you are in London. Many thanks

Harrod’s Champagne Tour was fun!

Barbara was phenomenal! She knows her history and presents in a fun and unique way. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The champagne at the end was great and we invited her to stay with us. HIGHLY recommend this tour and Barbara.

Brilliant place

Popped in here a couple of times as we were so impressed with it on the first visit. The staff were lovely and friendly. They were very informative and nothing was too much trouble. We opted for the Moet & Chandon nectar champagne imperial rose (designed by Pharrell Williams and it was gorgeous. Will definitely be back when we are in London again

Response from the operator: Thank you Jenny we hope to see you again when you are in London

Wonderful champagne bar

Great champagne bar for a quick business drink inside Harrods. Innovative drinks menu and good snacks. The oysters are very fresh and champagne on ice is a great refreshing drink.

Wonderful Royal Walk with David

Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable and engaging. He had answers for all of our questions and provided a wealth of information about London. He recommended other trips by the company and encouraged us to try several that he thought we would enjoy and appreciate.

Response from the operator: Thank you Stacie we hope to see you again

Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

How much does Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods cost?

+

Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

Is Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods?

+

Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Buckingham Palace Royal Walk & Champagne at Harrods start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in London?

+

London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit London?

+

May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in London?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
