Description

Panoramic Tour 
Enjoy a whistle stop tour of London’s famous monuments and marvel at the history of London’s modern masterpieces from the comfort of your seat. Have your cameras ready for our drive past the spectacular Westminster Abbey.

St. Paul Cathedral
Towering high over the City of London, magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral is widely considered to be Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. Enter the Quire and marvel at the beautiful mosaics inside (Quire entrance only until 31st March).

Please note: Due to Sunday church services, there will be no guiding inside the cathedral

Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard
A mass of red tunics, bearskins and Buckingham Palace – an unforgettable experience!

Please note: The Guard Change may not be operational in bad weather conditions. On these occasions we will visit the Horse Guards for a photostop instead.

Free Lunch Pack
To ensure you make the most of each attraction and don’t waste valuable exploring time, our tour includes a lunch pack, completely free of charge! Save time, money and dodge the inconvenience of finding somewhere to eat.

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.

River Thames Boat Ride
Setting off from the Tower of London, take to the water on a River Thames boat ride and enjoy a tour of the London sights as you head towards the beautiful Greenwich.

Walking Tour of Greenwich
Explore the quaint beauty of Greenwich on this professionally guided walking tour, covering the iconic tea clipper Cutty Sark and the Old Royal Naval College, designed by Christopher Wren.

After the walking tour, get back on board the River Boat and take in more of the city sights as you sail towards Central London. Choose to alight at either The London Eye or The Shard, both icons of London and very centrally located.

This tour will finish at approximately 5:30pm, when you get off the boat.
