About this experience
This walking tour will visit many places relating to the Queen. From where she was born to her funeral and much more in between. We will see her favourite shops, where she would eat out and various homes and palaces that she lived in through her long life as well as learning about different events in the life of the Queen. See neighbourhoods and districts in London that you'd never normally visit before visiting ceremonial places famous for parades and royal spectacles as well as following in the footsteps of her solemnly observed but majestic funeral. We loved the Queen, I even sang for her when I was a boy and we want to show you our love and appreciation of our late Queen when you come on this very special tour. There is a summer option which includes entry tickets to Buckingham Palace State Rooms. God Save The Queen.

Highly recommended - lots of interesting places and exactly the right balance!
I would highly recommend this very enjoyable, informative, respectful (and, I understand, new) tour! Having recently visited Sandringham, I wanted a way to try and pay my (belated) respects to the Queen in London, but there are so many possible places to visit, I got all in a muddle. Luckily, I knew Stephen was offering this tour and I have to say, it was just lovely! Exactly what I was looking for. Stephen is a highly knowledgable guide - I’ve been on a few tours now with Ye Olde England Tours and each time, it just gets better and better! Thank you again for a wonderful tour!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your lovely review. I was so glad to receive it. I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much and it's another totally unique tour. Anyone can go to Buckingham Palace but not to all the places we went to. Thanks again and see you soon hopefully :-)

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London?
+
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 Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London?
+
Around 0 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Queen Elizabeth II Private Walking Tour of London 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.
