This comprehensive London tour packs the capital's greatest hits into one well-organised day. You'll explore Westminster Abbey where kings and queens have been crowned for nearly a thousand years, witness the pomp of Buckingham Palace's Changing of the Guard ceremony, and delve into the Tower of London's dramatic history whilst marvelling at the Crown Jewels. The tour also includes St Paul's Cathedral with its famous dome, the Houses of Parliament housing Big Ben, and Tower Bridge offering spectacular Thames views.

Professional guides share fascinating stories at each location, bringing London's rich heritage to life. A Thames river cruise provides unique waterfront perspectives of the city's landmarks, whilst comfortable coach transportation ensures you travel between attractions in comfort.
