London in a Day: Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and river cruise

See London from every angle on this complete, full-day tour, exploring on foot, by water and even from above. This tour covers more ground than any other.

Your morning starts near Westminster Abbey, where you'll catch a glimpse of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament before entering the Abbey at opening time to go directly to the Coronation Chair. Learn about the history of building England’s most important church and visit the final resting places of a few of the countless monarchs and luminaries buried inside, from kings and queens to great writers and scientists. It’s a short dash from there to Buckingham Palace, where you'll catch the Changing of the Guard if it's taking place on the day of your tour.

As the crowds gather in front of the palace, your guide will take you to a great alternative viewpoint to witness this historic ceremony. You’ll also swing by the Horse Guards Parade home to the lesser-known but arguably more impressive King's Life Guard before visiting Trafalgar Square. After a break for lunch, you’ll board a Thames sightseeing cruise complete with lively and entertaining commentary from the crew. It's a fun and relaxing way to journey to your last visit of the day, one that's sure to be a highlight: the Tower of London. With pre-reserved tickets, you’ll get inside quickly to enjoy a tour of its fascinating (and sometimes gruesome) history. Your full-day London tour comes to an end at the Jewel House inside the Tower.
