Overview

Go on our 3-hour walking tour through Westminster to see some of London’s most iconic sights, then hop on a river cruise to the Tower of London!

We begin at Green Park, heading to Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard Ceremony (select days only). Capture memorable photos of the Palace and Guards before strolling through Westminster's iconic streets, admiring its remarkable landmarks.

Your guide will lead you past Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, the Houses of Parliament and more!

Next, board a boat at the pier directed by your guide. Relax and enjoy the scenic journey along the historic Thames from Westminster to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

Upon arrival at Tower Pier, disembark and explore the Tower of London, a historic landmark with over a thousand years of history, known for its beefeater guards and resident ravens.
