TOUR DETAILS

Panoramic tour of West End and City of London
An extensive panoramic tour that includes famous landmarks and areas of London such as Marble Arch, Mayfair, Piccadilly, Leicester Square, the celebrated 'theatre district' of the Strand, St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. The tour will also go over the London Bridge and Westminster Bridge, and pass the well-known London Eye, the historic Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Downing Street - and much more. An ideal introduction to the very finest London has to offer.

EXCLUSIVE FEATURE: Household Cavalry Museum
Shake hands with an official Household Guards trooper and dress to impress in the iconic red tunic of the regiment for a photo opportunity you'll never forget!

Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard
As iconic an image of London as red telephone boxes and double-decker buses, the Changing of the Guard is a not-to-be-missed royal feast of bearskin hats and red tunics. (Or we will visit Horseguards Parade when this ceremony is not available)

EXCLUSIVE FEATURE: St Paul's Cathedral
Towering high over the City of London, magnificent St Paul's Cathedral is widely considered to be Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece. Enter the Quire - an area open exclusively to Golden Tours clients - and marvel at the beautiful mosaics inside. *On Sundays due to church services, there is no guiding inside the cathedral.

The Tower of London and Crown Jewels
Arrive at the Tower of London, which has served time as a royal palace, a prison and even a zoo, and now contains the Crown Jewels. The sparkling Koh-i-Noor and Cullinan diamonds will take your breath away!
