What better way to see the highlights of London than from a vintage double-decker bus? Enjoy great views of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye as we meander through the streets and history of our great city. Take your seat on a beautifully restored double-decker bus and marvel at all of London’s highlights including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.
Have your cameras at the ready at Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece, St. Paul’s Cathedral, where Admirals Nelson and Wellington lie buried and where Princess Diana was married. Then join us at the Tower of London, built nearly a thousand years ago and now home to the Crown Jewels protected by the famous Beefeaters. The imposing former palace was once used as a fortress and a prison and you can see Traitors Gate where prisoners entered the Tower for the last time.
