Tour Description
The day begins with a panoramic tour of London’s West End. This will give you the chance to take some amazing photo shots of Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Downing Street, the London home of the British Prime Minister, famous Trafalgar Square and the statue of Lord Nelson, Pall Mall and so much more.
The panoramic tour will also take in Westminster Abbey – a large, mainly Gothic church which is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for British monarchs.
You will alight at Buckingham Palace to view the Changing of the Guard. This grand occasion takes place in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace and you will witness the changing of the Old Guard to the New Guard accompanied by no fewer than 35 musicians. A truly wonderful ceremony.
After lunch and with time permitting, you will be able to enjoy a short walking tour of Covent Garden. This area is dominated by shopping, street performers and entertainment facilities.
No London tour would be complete without a trip to the City or Square Mile as it is often referred because it is almost exactly one square mile in area. Here you shall learn about the Great Fire of 1666 which destroyed four-fifths of the City! You will also see the Bank of England and Mansion House, the home of the Lord Mayor.
An exclusive feature of this tour is entry into Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece, St. Paul’s Cathedral (also the venue for the marriage of the late Diana Princess of Wales to Prince Charles.) The old St. Paul’s was gutted by the Great Fire of London and the existing cathedral was completed on 20 October 1708. During your visit you will also have entry to the Quire to see the beautiful mosaics. (Not normally open to the General Public.)
Another highlight of this fabulous London tour is entry to the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels. The tower’s primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners, such as Queen Elizabeth I. It has also served as a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury, a zoo, the Royal Mint and since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.
To finish off this London tour in style, we take you on a wonderful river cruise along the Thames.
