Tower of London, Changing of the Guard, Thames Cruise with Harrods Cream Tea or London Eye Upgrade

Programul activitatii

Start your day with pickup at the Victoria Coach Station in central London, and then travel by air-conditioned coach to St. Paul's Cathedral. Spend the morning there, then travel to Westminster Abbey where Prince William married Kate Middleton in a lavish royal wedding ceremony in 2011. Pose for photos outside the Gothic crowd pleaser. Head to the Mall outside Buckingham Palace to watch the legendary Changing of the Guard ceremony. Accompanied by a military band, soldiers from the Queen’s Foot Guard march in time to drumbeats, performing a ceremonial ritual that dates back centuries.

Move on to the Tower of London, a former prison, fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit sites like Traitor’s Gate, the Torture Exhibition and, of course, the glittering Crown Jewels – a collection of irreplaceable and historic items. Spend some free time here exploring and eating lunch.

Hop aboard a sightseeing boat for an extended trip down the River Thames. Cruise down the river, looking out for the top London attractions such as Tower Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe, and then step out onto dry land.

Finish your tour at London Eye or alternatively, upgrade to finish on a high note with one of two optional activities. Options include a cream tea with a glass of sparkling wine at Harrods restaurant or a must-do London Eye flight, for picture-perfect views over the capital. Both activities include transport to the attraction, but no transport back. Harrods cream tea includes Home-baked English Scones served with clotted cream and preserves, choice of tea from Harrods own tea gardens plus a glass of sparkling wine.

Please note: If your tour falls on a date when the Changing of the Guard ceremony is not taking place, you will stop at Buckingham Palace for photos

    London city tour was great! Guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Wished the tour used audio set during the walk around the sights, difficult to follow and hear guide when many tourists are doing the same thing with their guides. If you don’t stay at front of group you’ll miss what guide is explaining.

    If you want to see London in a day, this is the tour for you. The sites visited and the discussions on the bus as we were between landmarks, provided just the right amount of information to prepare us. Our tour escort provided color commentary around the sites during our journey. Our time at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and high tea at Harrods, too only name a few, were memorable... but the boat ride on the Thames was unforgettable. Great views from the river of the London skyline.

    Thanks for a great day on the town.

    This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a ton of information, taking us to different areas that allowed for stunning views of the sites. The river cruise at the end was a great, relaxing way to see the city from a different vantage point. I highly recommend this tour.

    Great experience for the first time being in London! Our tour guide Steve was amazing - full of great knowledge, history and funny stories! On the day that we toured, the changing of the guard was not happening, but we stopped by Buckingham Palace for photos ops. On the way to the Tower of London, we passed by Westminster Abbey, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, and the entire time were provided commentary on the history of London. It was incredible to see the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London, though it would have been nice to be able to stay there a little while longer. St. Paul's Cathedral is amazing and beautiful! All in all, a great tour if you have limited time in London!

    What a perfect introduction to the city. We covered a lot of territory and saw so many of the major sights and our guide was very knowledgeable. We were really pleased that there was a good amount of walking involved instead of just riding round on a bus. Speaking of which, kudos to our bus driver navigating narrow streets with LOTS of traffic. Nerves of steel!!

    Amazing full day of the wonderful London sites! Our tour guide, David, was an absolute pleasure to be with and provided us all with the history and special facts for each and every stop. Our family of seven from 11 years old to our 3 seniors enjoyed every location and felt that there was enough time at each to enjoy and take in all the beautiful sites. Would highly recommend this tour to first time visitors. Remember to ask for David....he was wonderful!
