Description

Discover the best of London in a single day with a guided walking tour that takes you from the historic heart of Westminster to the legendary Tower of London. Begin your adventure at Parliament Square, where you’ll see iconic landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament before exploring the exterior or interior of Westminster Abbey, depending on your tour time.

Step inside Westminster Abbey with skip-the-line access on the 9 AM tour, or enjoy a detailed introduction from your guide if you join at 10 AM. Marvel at centuries of royal history and learn about the famous figures resting within its walls. Your journey continues to Buckingham Palace, where you may witness the Changing of the Guard from a prime vantage point.

Stroll through Horse Guards Parade and Trafalgar Square, soaking up the vibrant atmosphere and fascinating stories shared by your expert Blue Badge guide. After a lunch break in the heart of London, regroup for a scenic Thames River cruise, complete with entertaining commentary that brings the city’s history to life as you glide past iconic sights.

Your final destination is the Tower of London, where pre-reserved tickets let you skip the lines and dive into tales of intrigue, royalty, and the Crown Jewels. While your guide provides an engaging introduction, you’ll have time to explore the Jewel House at your own pace. Please note, this tour involves significant walking and is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments.

All logistics are taken care of, including headsets for clear audio and all entrance tickets where applicable. Meet your guide at Parliament Square 15 minutes before departure, and be ready for a day packed with London’s must-see highlights. Secure your spot now and experience the essence of London in just one unforgettable day!
