Itinerary

  2. Stop 2 · 1h

    Towering high over the City of London, magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral is widely considered to be Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece and marvel at the beautiful mosaics inside. *On Sundays due to church services, there is no guiding inside the cathedral.

  3. Stop 3 · 30m

    Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard. As iconic an image of London as red telephone boxes and double–decker buses, the Changing of the Guard is a not–to–be–missed royal feast of bearskin hats and red tunics. *We will visit Horse Guards Parade when the ceremony is not available.

  4. Stop 4 · 30m

    Enjoy a tour of the London sights as you head towards the beautiful Greenwich before docking off at the Tower of London.

    The London Eye Experience - End your day with a London Eye experience and enjoy breath-taking views of London in the luxury of your glass capsule.

  6. Stop 6 · 1h

    The Tower of London and Crown Jewels. During its 1000 year history this impressive fortress has been a Royal Palace, prison, mint and even a zoo! Be dazzled by the Cullinan diamonds and the spectacular Kohi–i–Noor at the Crown Jewels.

    Exclusive feature: ATTACK THE TOWER – Join a Yeoman Warder (‘Beefeater’) for an exclusive and very different view of the famous Tower of London on this guided tour. You will hear the story of the peasants’ revolt and attack on the Tower of 1381, the military cunning used to ensure the safety of the Monarch within, and how the Tower’s very architecture protects it from attack.
