This 3.5-hour guided tour uses a 1960s vintage Routemaster double-decker bus to show London’s main sights. The tour includes a panoramic drive past landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Royal Courts of Justice, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. There are photo stops outside Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, with a 30-minute stop at the Tower of London. After the bus tour, passengers take a 30-minute cruise on the River Thames from Tower Pier to the London Eye. The boat ride offers views of the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, The Shard, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and the Houses of Parliament from the river. The London Eye can be included if selected. A local guide provides live commentary throughout. The tour is mainly outdoors on an open-top bus, so weather conditions should be considered. On rare occasions, the bus may be replaced with a closed-top vehicle. The afternoon photo stop at Buckingham Palace often has fewer crowds, allowing better views and photos.
