Go on the ULTIMATE LONDON TOUR!

This Combi tour includes :

1. Three-hour Westminster Walking Tour : See 20+ amazing & iconic London Sights

2. River Cruise Ticket (From Westminster to the Tower of London)

3. Tickets for the Tower of London

Go on our 3 hour walking tour through Westminster to see some of London's most iconic sights then hop on a river cruise to the Tower of London!

The Tower of London is officially Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London.

We start in Green Park and head to Buckingham Palace where we will have the chance to witness the Changing of the Guard Ceremony (certain days only)!

Your guide will lead you past Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, the Houses of Parliament and more!

Then it's time to sail down the river! Your guide will direct you to the pier where you'll board the boat - sit back and get comfortable as you watch the London sights along this historic part of the Thames, travelling from Westminster towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

You’ll get great views of the London Eye, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, HMS Belfast and other city landmarks, as well as crossing under Blackfriars Bridge, Millennium Bridge, Southwark Bridge and London Bridge!

Upon reaching Tower Pier, you'll disembark and head to the Tower of London - one of the most historical buildings in London with over a thousand years of history. The Tower is famous for its Beefeater guards and the ravens who live there, and you’ll have the chance to see this and much more!
