Filming for the hotly-anticipated third season of hit Netflix series, The Crown, has started, with Olivia Colman playing the lead role of Queen Elizabeth II, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, and Josh O'Connor as Prince Charles. Fans who can't wait until the new episodes air in 2019 can fill the void with a choice of two NEW private tours from Evan Evans that bring together The Crown's spectacular filming locations in London or across England.
Evan Evans specialises in handcrafting unforgettable experiences to Britain's most iconic locations, and so is perfectly placed to bring the UK's royal history and heritage to life. Their luxurious new programme of Private Chauffeur Tours allows guests to travel in style, accompanied by a dedicated chauffeur and a separate, professional guide, who will create a sightseeing experience that is fit for a queen; and Evan Evans' two new, dedicated The Crown-inspired itineraries are the perfect day out for followers of the multi-award winning series.
'The Crown' Film Locations: London* is a half day (five hour) tour that whisks guests to the exciting London-based locations that feature in the hit series. Visit Southwark Cathedral and The Old Royal Naval College, the backdrop to the scene where King George VI's funeral was held prior to Elizabeth being crowned Queen, and the location for the courtyard at Buckingham Palace, respectively. Explore Lancaster House which provided many of the settings for Buckingham Palace, and The Lyceum Theatre's dramatic façade which was used for the gala scene with The Queen and Prince Phillip adorned in tiara and tux. In a Mercedes E-Class for 1-3 guests, the private five hour tour costs £866. For a Mercedes V-Class, which can accommodate 4-6 guests, the tour costs £953. A professional tour guide and a central London pick up and drop off are included in the price.
'The Crown' Film Locations: England^ is a full day (nine hour) tour that takes guests to visit the iconic out-of-London locations from The Crown. Explore the settings of many well-known scenes, including Cambridgeshire's Ely Cathedral where the wedding of Elizabeth and Prince Phillip was recreated; and Hatfield House which provided the bedroom of the dowager Queen Mary, the drawing room where Queen Mary met with her son the Duke of Windsor for the first time in nine years, the library at Windsor Castle, and the hall where Elizabeth announced that she would be taking the Windsor name. Entrances and guided tours of Hatfield House, Knebworth House and Ely Cathedral, as well as a professional tour guide and a central London pick up and drop off are included. Prices start from £1,016 for a private tour in a Mercedes E-Class.
For a totally unique experience, bespoke tours are available via the dedicated Evan Evans concierge team, and a choice of motor vehicles, including the Jaguar XF and a vintage collection, are also offered on request.
