Suggested Sightseeing
The Tower of London, Greater London
On The Map: The Tower of London is located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. Nearest Tube Stop: Tower Hill - served by the Northern and Jubilee Lines
At Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll see the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders, mysterious Ravens and, of course, the magnificent White Tower. The Tower was built on the River Thames by William the Conqueror. Its purpose was to protect London and to assert the city’s importance and power. Inside you’ll find a unique Romanesque Chapel, the 11th century Chapel of Saint John the Evangelist. You’ll also find the Royal Armouries Collections.
The Crown Jewels have been displayed in the Tower of London for nearly 400 years. This is an extraordinary collection of 24,000 gemstones and are used in present royal ceremonies, including the Coronation Spoon and St. Edward’s Crown. Still under armed guard, listen to the stories of their past, who wore them, and what makes them important.
The Tower Ravens are known as The Guardians. It is said that if the Ravens leave, the Tower will fall. Charles II is the first to insist that the Ravens be protected. Ravens are mythic, intelligent birds, and the tower has a Ravenmaster in charge of assuring their continued health and well-being.
We know the Yeoman Warders by their more common name, “The Beefeaters.” Take a tour with one of the Yeoman and you’ll hear stories steeped in 1,000 years of history. Palace intrigue, betrayals, great loves, tragedy, those imprisoned at the Tower, and illicit liaisons… ask your Beefeater questions!

On The Map: London is in Southeastern England, next to the River Thames and 50 miles from its estuary on the North Sea. Its main highway, the M25, surrounds the city at a radius of 20 miles from London’s center. Kent, Surrey, and Berkshire are south of the River Thames, while Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex are north. Greater London is 607 square miles with a population of 8,200,000. The city is 211 miles south of York and 77 miles from Dover.
The capital of the United Kingdom, London is one of the world’s great cities. It is almost 2,000 years old and its cultural diversity, combined with its history, makes it a dream to visit. London grew from a walled settlement founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. Across the bridge, on the south bank, Southwark became known for its monasteries, hospitals, fairs, inns, and the theaters of Elizabethan London, including Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. Westminster, on the south bend of the Thames, grew around an abbey followed by a palace, government buildings, parks, and fashionable neighborhoods.
Tower Bridge, Greater London
On The Map: Tower Bridge crossed the River Thames just east of London Bridge and in close proximity to the Tower of London Nearest Tube Stop: Tower Hill - served by the Circle and District Lines
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge over the River Thames and in close proximity to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name. Officially opened on June 30, 1894 by The Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII), Tower Bridge has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge is 800 feet in length with the two towers each reaching 213 feet high, built upon submerged concrete piers. The 200 foot central span is split into two equal 'bastules', which can be raised to an angle of 86 degrees to allow river traffic to pass. The Bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. The high level walkway of the Bridge was closed in 1910, as it had become a favorite hang-out spot for local prostitutes and pick-pockets. In 1982, the walkway was reopened, and now welcomes visitors. The exhibition uses films, photos and interactive displays to explain why and how Tower Bridge was built. Visitors can access the original steam engines that once powered the bridge bascules, housed in a building close to the south end of the bridge.

London Bridge, Greater London
The name "London Bridge" refers to several historic crossings that have spanned the River Thames between the City of London and Southwark, in central London since Roman times. The current crossing, which opened to traffic in 1973, is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel. It replaced a 19th-century stone-arched bridge, which in turn superseded a 600-year-old stone-built medieval structure. In addition to the roadway, for much of its history, the broad medieval bridge supported an extensive built up area of homes and businesses part of the City's Bridge ward and its southern end in Southwark was guarded by a large stone City gateway. The medieval bridge was preceded by a succession of timber bridges, the first of which was built by the Roman founders of London (Londinium) around 50 AD.
Westminster Abbey, Greater London
On The Map: Westminster Abbey is located in the very heart of Central London, adjacent to Big Ben. Nearest Tube Stop: Westminster - served by the Circle, District & Jubilee Lines, is located just 0.2 miles north of Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey is one of the world’s great churches, with a history stretching back over a thousand years. Paying a visit is truly an essential part of any trip to London. Kings & Queens, Poets & Heroes - all are represented at the Abbey - and it has many fascinating tales to tell. Westminster has long been the traditional venue for the coronation of English Monarchs, as well as their final resting place. The current, wonderful 700-year-old building is literally brimming with amazing artifacts and stunning craftsmanship. Of particular note is The Lady Chapel, begun in 1503, and constructed at the expense of Henry VII. It is regarded as the last great masterpiece of English medieval architecture, and in 1545 was heralded as "the wonder of the entire world". The outstanding feature of the chapel is the spectacular fan-vaulted roof with carved pendants. The spectacular Waterford Crystal chandeliers in The Nave were a gift from the Guinness family, in honor of the Abbey's 900th anniversary in 1965. In front of the High Altar is another of the Abbey's treasures - a marble pavement dating from 1268. The method of its decoration is known as Cosmati work, after the Italian family who developed the technique. Audio guides are available in 12 languages, and the highly-popular Verger-led tour is also an option on-site. Westminster Abbey is usually open to visitors from Monday to Saturday throughout the year.
Covent Garden, Greater London
On the map: Covent Garden, located in London’s West End, is a must-see for anyone interested in shopping, theatre, dining, history and culture. With an endless amount of things to see and do, visitors can spend multiple days in the Covent Garden area. Head to the London Transport Museum to discover the powerful link between transport and the growth of modern London, its culture and society since 1800. Check out Somerset House - a neo-classical building sitting between the Strand and the river Thames. Catch a Royal Opera performance or enjoy a guided tour at the Royal Opera House - also home to the Royal Ballet. If shopping is your cup of tea, the area is home to some of the best shopping in London - from Tom Ford and Mulberry, to Paul Smith and Apple. Wrap up your day at one of the Garden’s five-star restaurants such as Frenchie, Henrietta, or The Oystermen.
Downing Street, Greater London
Known for being the street that houses the official residences and offices of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Downing Street is a popular landmark in the city of London. The Prime Minister’s official residence is 10 Downing Street, while the Chancellor’s official residence is Number 11, both just a few minutes’ walk from the Houses of Parliament. While 10 Downing Street is not open for regular public tours, many walking tours will take you down the street so you can view the front door - subject to security measures.
Changing of the Guard, Greater London
Witness one of the most historical traditions in Britain - the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. The Changing of the Guard is the ceremony where The Queen’s Guard hands over responsibility for protecting Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Palace to the New Guard. Changing the Guard, also known as Guard Mounting, takes place outside Buckingham Palace every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 10.45am and lasts around 45 minutes, with the actual handover taking place at 11am. While watching the ceremony is free and does not require tickets, it is recommended that you arrive no later than 10:15 in order to get a good viewing spot. The Buckingham Palace gates and the steps of the Victoria Memorial just opposite are two of the best spots to watch Changing the Guard. Alternatively, get there early and try to grab a spot on The Mall, between Marlborough Road and Buckingham Palace, for a close-up view of the guards marching past.
Please Note: the Changing of the Guard ceremony schedule is subject to change, please check the confirmed dates before planning your experience.
Big Ben, Greater London
On The Map: Big Ben is located in the very heart of Central London, adjacent to the British Houses of Parliament. Nearest Tube Stop: Westminster - served by the Circle, District & Jubilee Lines, is located right beside Big Ben. When the Palace of Westminster was destroyed by fire in October 1934, it was decided that the new neo-gothic style Palace should include an imposing and impressive clock tower. Thus, one of England's most famous & instantly recognizable landmarks came to be. Interestingly, although the name Big Ben is commonly used to describe the tower, it was initially given to the Great Bell within the tower. The tower itself, which lies to the north of the Houses of Parliament, is officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, and was completed in 1859. The Great Clock started on May 31, with the Great Bell's peals being heard for the first very time on July 11. It is the second largest four-faced chiming clock in the world,after that of Minneapolis City Hall, and is famed for it's unerring time-keeping accuracy. The hands of the clock are 9 and 14 feet in length, and the Great Bell (Big Ben!) weighs-in at 13 tons. Although it is possible to tour the Houses of Parliament, the Elizabeth Tower is closed to visitors. But with no lift, and 334 steps to the top, this may not be such a bad thing!

Bath, Avebury & Lacock Village Tour
London, Greater London
When you travel through West England, you feel bewildered. In Avebury, you wonder why Neolithic inhabitants built the largest stone circle in Europe. At Lacock, you question how the stunning abbey has managed to be a nunnery, a brewery, a bakery, and a home. And in Bath, you ponder over what Britain would have been like if the Romans had never visited. On this tour, we give you time to investigate the secrets and understand the beauty of these famously historic locations. Your guide lets you wander through the streets of Bath, where Georgian architecture effortlessly blends with ancient Roman artefacts. You travel to Lacock, where the rickety old lanes have been used as a filming location for Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, and Pride and Prejudice. And you venture to Avebury, where the stone monuments have beguiled visitors, historians, and archaeologists for centuries.
Our day will start as we head west out of London to the village of Avebury. Here you can wander amidst the largest prehistoric stone circle in the world and admire the manor houses. After lunch (not included in tour price), we travel deep into rural Wiltshire to Lacock village, famous for its picturesque streets, historic buildings, and role as a television and film location. The Abbey in the heart of the village has its own woodland grounds, and is a quirky country house with fascinating architectural styles.
Our final stop of the day is at the ancient Roman Spa town of Bath. This city has been inhabited for around 2,000 years. There’s Roman baths, Georgian architecture, and a gorgeous abbey to see. It’s a fascinating town to explore, so we give you plenty of time to wander around at your own pace before you return to London in the early evening.
Inclusions: Transport in a 16 seat Mercedes mini-coach. Air conditioning. The stories and services of an English-speaking driver-guide.
Exclusions: Lunch and refreshments. Entrance Admission to Visitor Attractions.
Suggested Sightseeing
Roman Baths, Bath, Southwest Region
The 2,000 year-old Roman Baths complex is undoubtedly one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe. The Baths are located below modern street level, and were not discovered and explored until the late nineteenth century. The site was opened as a visitor attraction in 1897. In 2011 the Roman Baths completed a £5.5 million redevelopment to bring the best of modern interpretation to the site, transform its accessibility and preserve it for the next 100 years. The Baths have four main areas: The Sacred Spring, The Roman Temple, The Roman Bath House and Finds from Roman Bath. The Sacred Spring is at the very heart of the site. Naturally hot (46°C) water rises here every day, as it has done for thousands of years. In Roman times, this natural phenomenon was beyond human understanding, and was believed to be the work of the ancient gods. A Great Temple was therefore built next to the Spring dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, a deity with healing powers. The Great Bath itself is lined with 45 sheets of lead. It once stood in an enormous barrel-vaulted hall that rose to a height of 130 feet. For many Roman visitors this would have been the largest building they had ever entered..

Bath, Southwest Region
On The Map: Bath is located in the southwest of England, 115 miles west of London, and just 13 miles east of Bristol.
The City of Bath is truly unique. It was founded by the Romans, after their conquest of Britain in AD 43. Between the 1st and 4th centuries, the Romans constructed a temple dedicated to the divinity, Sulis, as well as several hot baths. The natural source of the baths yields over 1,200,000 litres of water daily, at a temperature of more than 46 °C / 115 °F. Today, you can walk in the ancient footsteps of Romans, on the original stone pavements around the steaming pool. After the fall of the Roman city, medieval Bath became a major wool-producing centre, and the city commanded considerable religious influence from 1091 to 1206. During the 18th century, three ambitious local entrepreneurs set out to make Bath one of the most beautiful cities in Europe - they succeeded! The most famous legacy of their work is the Royal Crescent, comprising of 30 houses laid out in a crescent shape. In total Bath boasts approximately 5,000 listed buildings, and on top of its impressive Roman heritage, is also England's most celebrated Georgian city. Such is its unique nature, the entire City of Bath was granted World Heritage status by UNESCO.
Avebury, Southwest Region
On The Map: Avebury is located in the southwest of England, 80 miles west of London, and 25 miles north of Stonehenge
Avebury may not be quite as well known as Stonehenge, its prestigious neighbor 25 miles to the south, but it is world-famous nonetheless! Avebury is the world's largest prehistoric stone circle, partially encompassing the pretty village of Avebury. Millionaire archaeologist Alexander Keiller excavated the site in the 1930s, and the on-site museum bears his name. Arranged in two parts, the Alexander Keiller Museum is divided into The Stables - displaying archaeological treasures from across the World Heritage Site, and The Barn - a 17th-century Threshing Barn, with interactive displays and children's activities that reveal the story of this ancient landscape. The Avesbury Stone Circle dates from approx. 2600 BC. Its original purpose is shrouded in mystery, but most likely it was used in ancient rituals and ceremonies. The site still has much spiritual meaning today, and is of great religious importance to contemporary Pagans. Nearby Silbury Hill, which is the largest man-made mound in pre-industrial Europe, still dominates the surrounding landscape.

Piccadilly Circus, Greater London
On the map: Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster, built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round, open space at a street junction. Piccadilly now links directly to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square), and Glasshouse Street. The Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the West End. Its status as a major traffic junction has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right. The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue of Eros. It is surrounded by several notable buildings, including the London Pavilion, Criterion Restaurant and Criterion Theatre. Directly underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus tube station, part of the London Underground system.
The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square, Greater London
Trafalgar Square is famous for its huge black lion statues that have been posed with for countless photos. The Square itself also hosts a water fountain, changing artistic statues, and occasionally has huge screens to show important events, like soccer games. Inside the National Gallery awaits original paintings by Monet, Cezanne, Rembrandt, van Gogh, Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and many more world-famous artists. The Gallery also has been featured in the filming on the Doctor Who series.
