| London, United Kingdom |
Begin with a panoramic tour of the city’s most famous monuments and marvel at the history of London’s modern masterpieces from the comfort of your seat: Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Changing of the Guard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.
Continue to St Paul’s Cathedral, which was built in the rare and short-lived English baroque style. Marvel at the meticulous mosaics that decorate the choir or test the acoustics of the Whispering Gallery.
The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is one of those quintessentially British events, an awe-inspiring ceremony endowed with pageantry, pomp and circumstance. Head to the Tower of London, where the legendary Beefeaters regale visitors with tales about the former ‘guests’, the resident ravens and the headless ghost that is said to haunt the fortress.
During the Tower of London's 1000-year history, this impressive fortress has been a Royal Palace, prison, mint and even a zoo! Be dazzled by the Cullinan diamonds and the spectacular Kohi–i–Noor at the Crown Jewels. Join a Yeoman Warder (‘Beefeater’) for an exclusive and very different view of the famous Tower of London on this guided tour. You will hear the story of the peasants’ revolt and attack on the Tower of 1381, the military cunning used to ensure the safety of the Monarch within, and how the Tower’s very architecture protects it from attack.
After an optional lunch near the Tower (not included), it's all aboard for a cruise down the River Thames. Cap off a fantastic day with a visit to the London Eye, where you can enjoy breathtaking views over the city from high up over the Thames Embankment.
