A royal adventure around some of the monarchy's most beloved locations, including a special tour of Kensington Palace with Jennie Bond
Celebrate a thousand years of royalty during Queen Elizabeth
II's historic Platinum Jubilee year on guided visits to some of
England's finest palaces. You'll enjoy extra-special moments,
including a tour of Kensington Palace with former BBC royal
correspondent Jennie Bond.
This four-day trip gets off to a sparkling start with a glass of
champagne at Windsor Castle after it has closed to the public. A
tour of the State Apartments offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse
into where the Queen spends most of her time, peeking inside the
opulent rooms that have hosted dignitaries, royalty, and
politicians.
An expert guide accompanies visits to Hampton Court Palace,
Westminster Abbey, and the Tower of London. You'll stand where
royals have exchanged wedding vows, hear insider tales of
historical events, be dazzled by the Crown Jewels, and admire the
grand architecture that has made these palaces, castles, and venues
instantly recognisable the world over. A walking tour from
Westminster Abbey takes you past Buckingham Palace and along the
Mall, where many memorable Platinum Jubilee celebrations were
staged.
Autumn is a splendid season to visit Kew Gardens when the tree
canopies take on fiery hues. As part of a visit to these vast and
beautiful gardens, you'll see Kew Palace, a hidden royal palace
that was home to George III and Queen Charlotte.
The Crowne Plaza in Ealing is the ideal base for three nights,
where you'll also spend a memorable evening with Jennie Bond when
she talks about her time as the BBC's royal correspondent and
answers questions on her fascinating career.
