Total London Full Day Guided Tour
Complete Tour of London
Hop on board a comfy air-conditioned coach at the indicated time at the meeting point. Then it's time to sit back and admire the city’s most famous and impressive attractions, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and London Bridge, while an English-speaking guide explains the landmarks and “The Big Smoke’s” history.
Continue your sightseeing tour at St Paul’s Cathedral, the second largest church in the world, and enjoy some of the best views over London from its Golden Gallery, which stands 364 ft (111 meters) tall. The Cathedral’s underground Crypt houses the tombs of numerous British national heroes such as Lord Nelson, Wellington, and Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of this remarkable masterpiece.
It's now time to witness one of the most famous ceremonies outside Buckingham Palace. The Changing of the Guard is a traditional parade when the New Guard takes over from the Old Guard accompanied by a band playing upbeat music.
We'll then take a leisurely boat ride down the famous River Thames, cruising through the heart of the city. You'll be able to see some of the city's most important landmarks from a different perspective. Don't forget your cameras!
Finally, we'll see the Tower of London, one of the most eye-catching symbols of London. This 11th-century historic castle has played an important role in the country’s history. Once used as a royal palace, it was transformed into a prison and held prominent figures such as William Wallace and Elizabeth I. It now houses the Crown Jewels.
Finally, our tour will come to an end after 8.5 hours in total.
