A royal tour of London
Start your day exploring British history with early morning access to the famous Tower of London. Meet the iconic ravens and listen to the legend related to them from your expert English-speaking guide. Walk through the fortress-turned-prison, which has served as the backdrop to some of England's most dramatic moments. Upgrade your tickets to witness the age-old tradition of the Opening Ceremony conducted by Beefeaters and be among the first to gawk at the dazzling Crown Jewels, a collection of 23,578 gemstones ensconced here for over 600 years.
A relaxing cruise and a serene walk
Once you've soaked in the wonders of the Tower, you'll board a river boat for a leisurely ride up the Thames. As the London cityscape unfurls around you, your guide will bring the sights to life with lesser-known tales, like the time when London Bridge was not just a crossing but a bustling residential block! Disembark at the Embankment and explore Westminster City, a living tapestry of British history. Uncover centuries of monarchy, political drama, and cultural milestones at every corner. Beyond iconic sights like the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, your guide will reveal hidden gems with captivating stories.
