Full Day London Tour with Hotel Pick-up
Start your day the easy way with hotel pick-up from your Central London hotel, before joining one of London’s most popular full-day sightseeing tours.

From there, enjoy a memorable day exploring London’s most famous landmarks. Visit the magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral, stop at Buckingham Palace for photos and, when operating, watch the famous Changing of the Guard Ceremony. Continue to the historic Tower of London and the priceless Crown Jewels before finishing with an exclusive private River Thames cruise. You can also choose to add a ride on the London Eye

Explore London’s Most Famous Attractions
Once you’ve joined the tour, sit back and enjoy a full day discovering London’s history, royal heritage and world-famous landmarks with an expert guide.
St Paul’s Cathedral
Your first stop is the magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral, Sir Christopher Wren’s architectural masterpiece and one of London’s most recognisable landmarks. Enter before the cathedral becomes busy and admire its magnificent interior, beautiful chapels and impressive dome. St Paul’s has been the setting for royal weddings, state funerals and national celebrations for more than 300 years, making it one of Britain’s most important historic buildings.
Buckingham Palace
Visit Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the King, and stop for photographs outside one of the world’s most famous royal palaces. When it takes place, you’ll also watch the colourful Changing of the Guard Ceremony, one of London’s most iconic traditions, featuring soldiers in their famous red tunics and bearskin hats.
You’ll then have free time to enjoy lunch, and your guide will be happy to recommend nearby cafés and restaurants.
Tower of London & The Crown Jewels
Continue to the Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with nearly 1,000 years of history. Originally built by William the Conqueror, the Tower has served as a royal palace, fortress, prison and treasury throughout the centuries.
Inside you’ll see the spectacular Crown Jewels, still used during royal ceremonies today, before having time to explore the medieval towers, ancient walls and hear the fascinating stories that have made the Tower one of London’s most visited attractions.
Exclusive Private River Thames Cruise
After visiting the Tower of London, board an exclusive private River Thames cruise reserved only for guests on your tour. Relax as you sail along London’s famous river, enjoying fantastic views of the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, and many other famous landmarks from the water.
Unlike public sightseeing cruises, this private cruise is exclusively for your tour group, providing a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
The cruise finishes on the South Bank of the River Thames, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament.
Optional London Eye Tickets
As your River Thames cruise ends just a short walk from the London Eye, this is the perfect opportunity to add one of London’s most popular attractions to your day.
Standing 135 metres above the River Thames, the London Eye offers spectacular panoramic views across the capital, allowing you to spot many of the landmarks you’ve visited during your tour.
Whether you choose to ride the London Eye or not, your tour concludes on London’s vibrant South Bank, where you’ll find a wide choice of cafés, restaurants and riverside bars. The nearby Underground stations also make it easy to continue exploring London at your own pace.
