Jason's routes around the city make it much easier to visualise and think about how the Westminster Parliament operates in the context of the UK; to see where the Prime Minister lives and to explore Britain's role in the development of modern democracy throughout the world. His tours around Westminster & Whitehall bring the palaces of Royalty and Parliament together and are ideal for considering the UK's constitutional monarchy and the rise of law in protecting ordinary citizens.
Magna Carta, the suffragette movement, the English Civil War, the Industrial Revolution and the rise and fall of Empire are all areas that Jason can refer to
Jason appeals to students of all ages whether 8 or 88.
"Tours should be fun, eye opening, interactive, revealing, entertaining and educational" according to Jason. "If they're fun then the learning bit is so much easier."

Key cancellation terms for schools and other education establishments only.
Teachers and lectures ultimately remain in control of whether a tour needs to be abandoned due to bad weather or other extenuating circumstances. Such cancellations have not been necessary so far but child safety remains paramount If you cancel 24 or more hours before the start time of a tour then we will be happy to attempt to reschedule within a 10 week period or give a full refund minus £5 as a token towards costs If you cancel within the 24 hour period or up to halfway through a scheduled tour then we can work to try and reschedule (once) or can issue a refund once minus £10 towards costs.
If the tour guide needs to cease the continuation of a tour due to bad weather or other unusual circumstances then one free reschedule will be offered as an option. No refunds or reschedules after that. Tanners Tours will do its best to support teaching staff if a decision is made to divert children to a nearby sheltered establishment along the tour route during sudden, unexpected bad weather, though the Mall in front of the palace has few immediate indoor places to shelter
