TRIP ITINERARY

Open-Top Vintage Bus Tour with Live Guide

Hop on board a classic 1950s Routemaster double-decker bus and enjoy London’s top sights with a friendly live guide sharing fun stories along the way. You’ll get amazing views of Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s Cathedral, London Bridge, and the London Eye.

We’ll stop for a great photo at Westminster Abbey, a stunning spot that’s been the backdrop for royal coronations, famous weddings like Prince William and Kate’s, and the resting place of Kings and Queens since its construction in the 11th century.

Buckingham Palace

You’ll also get a chance to snap a photo outside Buckingham Palace, the iconic home of the British monarchy and where Queen Elizabeth II lived and worked in London. On the morning tour, you’ll get to see the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place here on selected days, with soldiers in their iconic jackets and tall furry hats marching to music that’s traditional military tunes and sometimes more modern.

The Tower of London

A nearly 1,000-year-old fortress that has served many roles over the centuries from Royal Palace and prison to even a royal zoo! You’ll get to see Traitors’ Gate, where prisoners made their last walk inside. Your guide will share some fascinating stories here, but please note this is a photo stop only. (No entry inside the Tower)

Exclusive Private Guided Cruise on the River Thames

End your day with a relaxing, private boat cruise along the Thames — just for our Premium Tours guests in the summer. Sit back and enjoy fantastic views of landmarks like the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard, Shakespeare’s Globe, and more, all while your guide shares fascinating stories about London’s history right from the water.
