Choose the 3-hour option to see the best highlights of London, combining a walking tour with a skip-the-line Thames River cruise. Begin your adventure at the iconic Trafalgar Square, home to Nelson’s Column, stunning fountains, and famous lion statues. Stroll past historic landmarks, including the Admiralty Arch, Westminster Abbey, and Westminster Palace, the seat of the British Parliament. No visit to London is complete without witnessing the grandeur of Big Ben, the city’s most famous clock tower.
Your Private Guide will lead you to Westminster Pier, sharing fascinating stories and legends about London along the way. Then, embark on a relaxing Thames River cruise, offering a stunning view of the city’s skyline from the water. As you glide along the river, pass iconic landmarks such as the London Eye, Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe, HMS Belfast, The Shard, and the Tower of London. The cruise concludes at the majestic Tower Bridge, a true symbol of London.
Upgrade to the 4-hour option to extend your walking tour before the cruise and discover even more royal landmarks. Visit St. James’s Park, a beautiful royal park surrounded by historic monuments. Stand before the gates of Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarchy, and learn about Queen Elizabeth II, her predecessors, and the Queen’s Guards, who perform their famous daily parades. This extended tour is a must for those eager to explore London’s royal heritage!
