You'll then make a dramatic launch into the Thames River (20 minutes) for the waterborne part of your tour.
It should be emphasised this is not a hop, hop off service, nor does the route intend to pass all the major sights in London, like the double decker hop on hop off sightseeing buses. It should be viewed as an experience, soft adventure with some of the major London sights as a backdrop. The commentary is very much part of the experience and provides a humorous view of London.
The tour starts close by the London Eye and tours the area as a road vehicle around Westminster.
Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are just the other side of Westminster Bridge from the starting point.

What a morning!
Afternoon Tour Of Stonehenge
Following an hours free time for lunch in Victoria, we board our luxury air-conditioned coach and head for the most famous prehistoric monument in the world.
Stonehenge, a world heritage site, stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years and it has been home to pagan religion and spiritual worship, not to be mention public debate ever since.
What was this vast collection of stones intended for? Was it observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40 ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design.
Entrance to the site with audio guide is included.
