Panoramic Tour of London

Become acquainted with London’s most well-loved landmarks during this exciting panoramic guided tour. You will sweep past a host of top attractions.

St. Paul’s Cathedral

From inspiring paintings to gloomy crypts, St Paul’s Cathedral and its towering dome is a historical masterpiece. Step inside this three hundred year old church and uncover London’s vast religious history – from the depths of Lord Nelson’s tomb to the towering heights of the Golden Gallery! St. Paul’s Cathedral is a breathtaking church and one of famous architect Sir Christopher Wren’s London masterpieces.

Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace

After you’ve seen what the rest of London has to offer, the tour arrives at the grand Buckingham Palace for the iconic Changing the Guard ceremony. Watch the King's Foot Guard march to the palace alongside a military band during the traditional performance – they’ll be decked out in their eye-catching red outfits and bearskin hats. The Guards have carried out their duty since 1660 and the ceremony is still a top London experience – nothing beats this utterly British display!

Please note: We will visit the Horseguards Parade when the ceremony is not available.
