The famous author Samuel Johnson once said that if you are bored of London then you are bored of living. During our tour we will pass by the Albert Memorial and the Royal Albert Hall, the famous Hyde Park with its 640 acres of land bordered by the gardens and Kensington Palace, then from Marble Arch ( Marble Arch ) the only marble monument in London and crossing the famous Park Lane and passing Green Park we reach the hallmark of London’s evening life Piccadilly square. Then we will pass by Trafalgar square which is also called the navel of London because from here all distances to other cities in England and abroad are officially measured. Continuing on the famous Whitehall street we will see the Buckingham Palace where King Charles resides where his mother Queen Elizabeth II used to live, and then we will pass in front of the entrance to the official palace of the monarchy which is St James’ Palace, but because it was relatively small the Royal Court decided in 1837 to move to the neighbouring Buckingham Palace. We continue the panoramic tour passing by the famous Parliament building, an amazing building built in two different centuries, the 11th and 19th century. Parliament houses the House of Lords and the House of Commons and of course we can see the famous Big Ben, the clock tower of Parliament. Opposite Parliament is St Margaret’s Church and next to it is the amazing Westminster Abbey.

Day 4: London – Excursion to Windsor Castle – Athens

English buffet breakfast. Departure for Windsor Castle, First we will pass by the Royal College of Eton founded in 1440 . The setting of the college that under its arched towers still nurtures princes, dukes, lords, earls, and aristocrats of every class. Eton College is an all-boys’ boarding school. It is one of the most prestigious educational institutions, with prestige and rules that resemble royal protocol, and its students – the offspring of the world’s elite – manage to get into a huge percentage of universities in the so-called Ivy League – and the prestigious institutions of Oxford and Cambridge in particular, and even a 30% admission rate. It is no coincidence that Eton College has graduated 20 Prime Ministers of Great Britain, including David Cameron and Boris Johnson, King Charles and many others. Some of the most famous alumni are still Princes William and Harry, and if we take a look back in time, we will meet personalities such as Ian Fleming, George Orwell and members of the Rothschild, Goldsmith and Vanderbilt families. We then pass over the River Thames which rises from the Welsh mountains and passes the Royal Village of Windsor on its way. Windsor is a Royal Village because the castle is home to the summer palace of the Royal Family. The castle is notable for its long association with the English and later the British royal family, but also for its architecture. The original castle of Windsor was built in the 11th century, after the Norman conquest of England under William I. Since the reign of Henry I it has been used by successive monarchs. The castle also includes St George’s Chapel, built in the 15th century, which is the spiritual seat of the castle. It is the most populous castle in the world, with more than 500 people living and working there. Queen Elizabeth II used the castle for her weekend residence, as well as a place for receptions and to receive foreign guests. Every year the Waterloo Ceremony, attended by the King, and the annual Order of the Perignite ceremony, held in St George’s Chapel, are held there. At the end of the tour leaving Windsor we will pass the back of the castle where we will see the road where Queen Elizabeth used to take which is an absolute one mile straight to attend every June and watch the Royal Ascot Horse Races. Continuing on we will pass through Runnymede Park where we will see the Magna Carta monument where in 1215 King John the Conqueror met with a group of barons in this small piece of countryside. Here he sealed the Magna Carta, seen by many as the symbolic first step on the road to modern democracy.
