Overview

This afternoon tour in London focuses on the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral, followed by a ticket for a Thames River sightseeing cruise. The tour starts with a guided visit to the Tower of London, where visitors learn about over 1,000 years of history including imprisonment, executions, and the famous Crown Jewels. The Tower was also home to wild animals for 600 years. Afterwards, the tour continues with a guided visit to St Paul's Cathedral, a large domed church built between 1675 and 1710 after the Great Fire of London. The cathedral features seven chapels, numerous statues, valuable artworks, and Europe's largest crypt. A special exhibition explores the life and achievements of architect Sir Christopher Wren. The sightseeing portion includes a drive through the City of London, passing landmarks such as Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor, and Tower Bridge, a combined bascule and suspension bridge completed in 1894. The tour concludes with a ticket for a Thames River cruise from the Tower of London to Westminster Pier, which can be taken immediately after the tour or on another day. The tour uses a superior coach with Wi-Fi and USB charging, and an expert live guide provides commentary throughout. Personal audio headsets are provided for clear listening. If St Paul's Cathedral is closed on Sundays or for special events, the guide will offer a photo stop outside and extend the visit at the Tower of London instead. Guests are encouraged to bring e-tickets on their smart devices. The tour operates daily from April to March, excluding December 24-26 and January 1.
