From the comfort of your seat, you’ll be introduced to the city’s most beloved landmarks. It’s a great opportunity to snap priceless photos as you get to know our beautiful city.

Learn about its history, including its role as the wedding venue for Princess Diana and Charles. A stop outside Buckingham Palace offers the chance for a photo op, even though the presence of the king isn’t a guarantee (keep an eye out for the flag!). Watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony, complete with the King’s Foot Guard and a military band. Afterwards, you’ll take to the water for a leisurely Thames cruise, providing a unique perspective on London’s heart as you glide along the river. One of our favorites, the Tower of London tour is another must-do. Stroll the bustling harbor as you learn about its rich history. Marvel at the glittering Crown Jewels and look for Anne Boleyn’s ghost. You’ll also have the chance to meet a Beefeater, one of the guardians of this iconic London landmark. For the ultimate experience, upgrade to ride the London Eye. Step into the glass capsules and rise nearly 450 feet above ground level to enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of London. As a bonus, you’ll notice many of the landmarks you’ve visited during your exciting full-day tour of London!
