Perfect for your first time in London, this classic highlight tour full of photo opportunities will give you a fascinating insight into a thousand years of British pageantry and history. We’ll pass by the nation’s most important square, see the Queen’s ’office’ and learn how to spot where the Royals go shopping.

After setting the scene in Parliament Square, the most important green in the country, we’ll skip the lines at the public entrance and enter the Abbey through the cloisters reserved for guides. This Royal church has a history stretching back over a thousand years and in this time has been the focus of the nation’s joy - and sorrow -, playing host to coronations, weddings and funerals. You’ll see the Coronation Chair on which over 30 Monarchs have been crowned, the poppy-framed Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and the shrine of England’s only sainted king. They’ll be tales of (just some of the 3,000!) great figures of British history connected with the Abbey - Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare... - as well as insider-stories about the wedding of William and Kate, Queen Elizabeth II’s own coronation day and the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales.

We step back a thousand years in time with a privately guided tour of Tower of London, this medieval castle with its jet-black ravens and Beefeaters who protect the largest collection of Crown Jewels in the world. Afterwards we’ll get away from the tourists and discover Dickensian cobblestone back alleyways, hidden courtyards before crossing the River Thames over the iconic Tower Bridge. Here is the best view of the ultra-modern skyscrapers in the finance district. We end on the Southbank and Borough Market, London’s oldest marketplace and home to the capital’s latest trend: Street Food from across the globe - with a few traditional pubs for good measure!

As the day-trippers begin to go home, guests staying over can enjoy a very different experience as the Capital relaxes into the evening and its famous sights are illuminated along the river Thames. This is the right time to visit Soho, London’s entertainment area with its trendy cafes and latest eateries, cool clubs and cosy bars.

Aimed at the young (at heart!) this tour mixes entertainment, culture and history. We start outside the 1,000 year-old castle, the Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels, Ravens and Beefeaters. Following in Jack the Ripper’s infamous and bloody footsteps we head into the East-End, once home to the Cockneys, their jellied eels and pie and mash, where nowadays you can find the trendiest shops, most diverse eateries and coolest cafés in town. There’ll be plenty of street art and people watching too. At Spitalfields market you can browse the stalls with original designers, surprising finds, contemporary and vintage fashion, music…
