We are also the first group to see the Crown Jewels before enjoying some free time to explore on our own. Why not visit Traitors Gate, the armouries or the Bloody Tower?
And keep an eye out for the famous Ravens. Tradition has it that if the Ravens leave the Tower the monarch will fall!
Changing Of The Guard
Departing the Tower we head to The Mall to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony as one of the Queens Household Regiments march from St. James Palace to Buckingham Palace dressed in their world famous tunics and busbies.
If the Changing of the Guard is not taking place you will still see Buckingham Palace and then visit the Horse Guards Parade instead.
Thames River Cruise & Pub Lunch
Next we take a short cruise on the River Thames as we enjoy excellent views of St. Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe before heading for a traditional pub lunch in Whitehall, close to Downing Street, the residence of the Prime Minister (food/drink not included).
After lunch we have a photo stop at Westminster Abbey.
St Paul's Cathedral
The afternoon part of the tour begins with a visit to St Paul's Cathedral.
We will explore the masterpiece designed by Wren in 1673 with a professional guide, taking time to listen to the 1695 organ that Mendelssohn once played and visit the tombs of Nelson and Wellington.
There will also be the chance to test the unique acoustics of the Whispering Gallery (not normally visited by other tour groups).
On Sundays when there is restricted viewing at the Cathedral there will be an opportunity to enter and enjoy one of the services.
Harrods Visit (With Afternoon Tea For Magic of London Tour)
Then we head through Knightsbridge to one of the worlds most famous stores - Harrods. For those who take the Magic of London Tour we finish our day with tea and scones served on the fourth floor terrace restaurant. Tea includes tea, scones, jam and clotted cream.
The tour ends at Harrods leaving you free time to explore the store at your leisure - why not visit the fabulous food halls?
Harrods is next door to Knightsbridge Underground Station
Tour Times and Pricing
This tour departs daily during the summer months (April to October). Several times a week at other times of the year.
Morning hotel pickups are between 07:00 and 8:00 with the main departure from Victoria Coach Station at 08:10.
Tour duration 9 hours.
Total London full day tour with the London Eye
The Total London Tour is exactly the same as the Welcome to London Tour and the Magic of London Tour except at the end of the tour instead of going to Harrods Department Store you finish the tour with a ride on the London Eye.
Small Family Group or Large Group - A Private Transfer or Tour May Be The Solution

If you have a group from family size to large groups, chartering your own vehicle with driver with or without professional guide can make a lot of sense.
Its a true door to door service picking you up from your hotel at a time you want and a customised itinerary going exactly where you want to go at a pace that suits your group.
Vehicles can be anything from an MPV with driver guide to a full size 50 seat air conditioned luxury touring coach with professional guide. If you just want a driver with no guiding that's fine and will work out cheaper too.
The guides and vehicles from the 8 seat vehicles up are professional full time tour specialists, not transport services that offer tours as a part time activity.
As a crude guide a full day tour (normally about 8 to 11 hours) in an MPV is about £400-£450, a 16 seat luxury touring bus like that pictured is £500-£750 and a full size 50 seat touring bus like the blue bus pictured on the banner at the bottom of the page about £600-£900. The indicative prices are without admissions, most of which we can obtain group rates.
Trips can be one-way and for the buses can be multi-day. If you are interested, just send us an e-mail from the “Contact Us” menu choice at the top of the page.
