The Best of London

For a full day of London sightseeing, hop aboard this London bus tour that offers all the best of Great Britain's capital. Highlights include watching the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace, eating at a pub in Trafalgar Square, and meeting the Beefeaters who guard the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. Follow your friendly and knowledgeable guide on this unforgettable London tour.

Begin your day in London with a ride to Parliament Square and Westminster Abbey. This iconic church is the final resting place of scores of kings, queens, writers, and other important people from England's long history. It's also the location of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Continue on your guided London tour to many must-see landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Downing Street, and Whitehall. Be sure to have your camera ready to snap photos of all these amazing sights. Get off the bus at Buckingham Palace to witness the synchronized and stately tradition known as the Changing of the Guard. You'll be thoroughly entertained by the pomp and circumstance that occurs right outside the home of Queen Elizabeth II each day. Return to your bus for a short ride to Trafalgar Square, where you can enjoy lunch in a traditional English pub (at your own expense). Try the fish and chips for an authentic and delicious treat.

Following lunch, it's time for your St. Paul's Cathedral tour. This remarkable structure, with its epic dome towering above London, was rebuilt in the 17th century after the Great Fire of London. More recently it was the location of the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as well as the Diamond Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II. The afternoon portion of your London tour also includes the chance to see Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor of London resides, as well as the Bank of England. At the infamous Tower of London, learn the dark tales of prisoners and traitors who met their end on that very site. The Tower is home to the priceless Crown Jewels, which are protected by the fantastically costumed guards known as Beefeaters. No trip to London is complete without seeing this remarkable display.

Your full day London adventure concludes with a cruise along the River Thames. London's most famous waterway offers tremendous views of London Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, the giant ferris wheel known as the London Eye, and so much more. At the end of this comprehensive and convenient tour of London, you'll have seen all of the city's best attractions. This tour truly captures the best of London in one fun-filled day.
