From Westminster Abbey to the Tower of London and even the River Thames, this London city tour is proof that limited time doesn't have to mean a limited view of the UK capital.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Your morning starts at Parliament Square near Westminster Abbey. Catch a glimpse of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, and meet some of the fascinating figures whose statues surround the square as you make your way to the church.
2.
Enter the Abbey at opening time to go directly to the Coronation Chair before crowds begin to surround it. Learn about the history of the building—England’s most important church—and visit the final resting places of a few of the countless monarchs and luminaries buried inside, from kings and queens to great writers and scientists.
3.
It’s a short dash from the Abbey to Buckingham Palace, where you'll catch the Changing of the Guard if it's taking place on the day of your tour. As the crowds gather in front of the palace, your guide will take you to a great alternative viewpoint to witness this historic ceremony.
4.
You’ll also swing by the Horse Guards Parade—home to the lesser-known but arguably more impressive King's Life Guard—on your way to Trafalgar Square.
5.
You'll break for lunch at London's busiest square. Before you part ways for the break, your guide will share more about what makes this the beating heart of London and point out a few of its most significant spots—including a tiny patch of American soil!
6.
Reconvening with your group after lunch, you’ll board a Thames sightseeing cruise complete with lively and entertaining commentary from the crew. It's a fun and relaxing way to journey to your last stop of the day.
7.
Your final stop is one that's sure to be a highlight: the Tower of London. With pre-reserved tickets, you’ll get inside quickly to enjoy a tour of its fascinating (and sometimes gruesome) history. Your full-day London tour comes to an end at the Jewel House inside the Tower. While your guide can't accompany you inside to see the Crown Jewels, they'll give you a primer on the top pieces to look out for and their significance so you can check them out on your own.

Mary, our tour guide was beyond exceptional. She gave us a lot of information about every site we visited, and then some.

My wife/I learned things that we can't find in everyday readings.

She gave us recommendations as to where we could eat lunch, toilet accommodations, and specific points of interest along our route.

We even got an extra surprise where we watched the military band at the barracks practice for an upcoming event.

Overall, this was an excellent tour and recommend it to anyone interested in learning about London.

This is a wonderful introduction to London. Mary did a great job! My group enjoyed the Tower of London the most but weren’t that impressed with the jewels. We all had 6 miles on our iPhones, but a stop for lunch and another for a boat ride, breaks up the walking.

You see so much on this tour in only one day! Lots of walking but we loved it! You of course get to rest for one hour lunch and then on the ride down the Thames on a tour boat. Elizabeth was our guide and she was so sweet and really knows her stuff!

Oliver led us on a fantastic walking tour of London. His knowledge of where to be for exactly the right moments made all the difference for our family. I would highly recommend this tour for changing of the guard, Westminster Abby, walking through parks, seeing the Horse Guard, the river transfer to the Tower, and his introduction to the Tower of London before leaving us on our own.

Elizabeth was a great tour guide. She was ver knowledgeable about every area we toured. She walked at a good pace and was always able to answer any question asked.

The tour was great to see many of the sites of London and very easy to get to and back home after the tour.
