Best of London Guided 1 Day Tour - Premium Tours

St Paul's Cathedral

Be the first group of the day to visit St Paul's Cathedral, the architectural masterpiece designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the 1600s. 

Please note: On Sundays when there is restricted viewing at the Cathedral there will be an opportunity to enter and enjoy one of the services. If St. Paul's Cathedral is closed you will enjoy an extended panoramic tour of London instead.

You will take a panoramic drive seeing the icons of London, including Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, including a photo stop outside Westminster Abbey.

Buckingham Palace: Changing of the Guard 

The tour now heads to The Mall to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony. 

Witness a piece of living British history as the guards who protect Buckingham Palace, dressed in traditional tunics and iconic busby hats, march to military music in an impressive display. Each ceremony is unique!

Please note: If the Changing of the Guard is not taking place you will still see Buckingham Palace.

The Tower of London

Visit the UNESCO World Heritage site before it opens to the general public.

Enjoy some free time exploring the Tower on your own – why not visit Traitor’s Gate, or look for the ghost of Anne Boleyn who’s said to haunt the tower…

Private Thames River Trip 

Next, you’ll take a guided private extended boat trip on the River Thames with an excellent view of Tower Bridge, The Shard, St. Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare's Globe and the Houses of Parliament.

London Eye

End your day with a fantastic trip on Europe’s tallest ferris wheel. The leisurely ride takes 30 minutes, so you can really take in all the sights, and on a clear day, you can see as far as 25 miles away!

The tour finishes after your ride on the London Eye, at approximately 5.30pm.
