Classic Red Bus Tour:
Take your seat on our beautifully restored double-decker bus and marvel at all of London’s highlights including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, all brought to life by our expert guide.
Have your cameras at the ready as we stop for photos at Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece, St. Paul’s Cathedral where Admirals Nelson and Wellington lie buried and where Princess Diana was married. Then join us at the Tower of London that was built nearly a thousand years ago and is now home to the Crown Jewels protected by the famous Beefeaters. The imposing former palace was once used as a fortress and a prison and your guide will take you to see Traitors Gate where prisoners entered the Tower for the last time!
Cruise on the River Thames:
Next we take a leisurely cruise on the River Thames that passes Shakespeare’s Globe, Cleopatra’s Needle and London Bridge before we arrive at Westminster pier, rejoin the bus and head for Buckingham Palace. Here we make our way to the perfect spot to watch the world famous Changing of the Guard ceremony as the soldiers, dressed in their fabulous tunics and busbies march to military music.
The Tower of London.
To end the tour we head to the magnificent Tower of London. The imposing former palace was also once a Royal mint and a place of torture and execution, and is now home to the Crown Jewels protected by the famous Beefeaters. The Beefeaters run regular tours that your ticket allows you to join for free. They will show you Traitors Gate where prisoners entered the Tower for the last time, the Scaffold site where the executions took place, and the impressive armouries where you can see the body armour worn by Henry VIII.
The tour ends at The Tower of London leaving you ample time to explore and enjoy this world heritage site.
