Full Description
St Paul's Cathedral
We take you on a guided tour of St Paul's
Cathedral, Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece with its magnificent dome. The
Cathedral was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. In recent years
it has seen the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, to Lady Diana Spencer and,
more recently, the thanksgiving services for both the Diamond Jubilee and 80th
Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen.
The Tower of London and Crown Jewels
Founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7
and enlarged by successive sovereigns, the Tower of London is one of the
world's most famous and spectacular fortresses. Over the past 1000 years it has
been a Royal Palace, an armory and a place of imprisonment and execution. The
Beefeaters who guard the Tower will regale you with stories of its past. We
will visit the Crown Jewels, including the magnificent solid-gold crown used at
the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the enormous Cullinan diamonds and the
extraordinary Koh-I-Noor.
Thames River Cruise
City Cruises operate a regular service
between the Tower of London and Westminster Pier. You have the choice to take
the River Cruise and end your tour at Westminster Pier, or take the cruise on
another day and go with your guide back to Victoria. River Cruise Tickets are
one-way from Tower Pier to Westminster Pier (or vice versa).
