See Big Ben and the imposing Houses of Parliament on the banks of the Thames, then Buckingham Palace, the official UK residence of the British sovereigns since the mid-19th century.

Uncle Larry’s Note: Many tour companies pad the numbers by counting a day as a “tour day” when the description says, “Tour ends after breakfast.” Some count a tour day in the beginning when there is merely a welcome reception in the evening after checking in to the hotel. This is the first tour I have seen where the group does not even meet the tour guide until Day 3 of the tour. Truthfully, this should be listed as an 11-day tour, not a 14-day tour. Trafalgar paid for the accommodation for two nights and for breakfast on two mornings but was able to add three days to the length of the tour. Blatantly misleading!
