Shared Tour: Open top Bus Tour with River Cruise
This tour offers the opportunity to zip around the streets of London in a charming double-decker bus while admiring popular sights. Starting from Victoria Coach Station in the afternoon, the vintage 1950s bus will make its way across the beautiful city. Seated comfortably on the open-top vehicle, guests will view iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, London Bridge, and the London Eye. The bus tour includes a photo stop at the historic Westminster Abbey, the venue for numerous royal coronations and weddings over the centuries. Depending on their time of arrival, guests may have the opportunity to view the Changing of the Guards ceremony at Buckingham Palace—the royal residence, or simply enjoy a photo stop with the palace as their backdrop. At the end of the bus tour, travelers step aboard a boat on the River Thames. As they cruise down the river, guests will take in fantastic views of London's prominent attractions—from the Houses of Parliament and St Paul’s Cathedral to Shakespeare’s Globe. A professional guide will be at hand to narrate interesting stories about London and its landmarks, enriching the journey before the tour ends.
