What makes London In One Day Tour with River Cruise & London Eye a unique experience ?
Panoramic Tour
Your tour of London begins with a journey through London with your expert tour guide onboard one of our luxury coaches with free Wi-Fi and USB charging. As you make your way through the city, your guide will impart exciting stories and interesting facts about London’s long history. Along the way, you will see all of London’s most iconic landmarks, including the Albert Memorial, Westminster Abbey, the iconic Elizabeth Tower, also known as ‘Big Ben’, and much, much more!
At one of our first stops, Buckingham Palace, we will watch a traditional ceremony that is the epitome of British pomp and pageantry. During the ceremony, guards from the New Guard of the Household Division arrive to assume responsibility for protecting Buckingham Palace. Accompanied by a regimental marching band, these soldiers are instantly recognizable in their bearskin caps and scarlet tunics. Don’t let the bearskin hats fool you – these soldiers are elite soldiers from the British military!
St Paul’s Cathedral is an iconic symbol of London. One of the largest churches in the world, its dome is an incredible 366ft high and was the tallest building in London until the 1960s. Explore the history of the Cathedral on a guided walking tour, and hear how Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece took 35 years to complete.
Almost a thousand years of history are waiting for us at our next stop, the formidable Tower of London. The long and bloody history of ‘The Tower’ is steeped in myth and legend. Built by William the Conqueror in 1066, this historic fortress in the middle of London is a notorious prison and execution site.
Thames River Cruise
At the end of our tour, head down to Tower Pier and hop on the next available boat for a scenic cruise down the River Thames. Enjoy a unique view of the beautiful London waterfront as you head to Westminster Pier next to the iconic Houses of Parliament. (open date ticket)
tanding 135 metres (443 ft) tall, London Eye is Europe’s tallest Ferris wheel and one of the most iconic London landmarks.
