The Tower of London and Crown Jewels
The tour will give you the chance to be on the site before it opens to the public where the Beefeater will take you on a private guided tour explaining the history of the Tower of London. Founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7 and enlarged by successive sovereigns, the Tower of London is one of the world's most famous and spectacular fortresses. Over the past 1000 years it has been a Royal Palace, an armoury and a place of imprisonment and execution. The Beefeaters who guard the Tower will regale you with stories of its past. You will visit the Crown Jewels, including the magnificent solid-gold crown used at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the enormous Cullinan diamonds and the extraordinary Koh-i-Noor.
Changing The Guard
After the visit of the Tower you will be lead to the Mall to watch the ceremony of Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace*.

Thames River Cruise & Pub Lunch
Next you will take a short cruise on the River Thames and be entertained with the excellent views of St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Shakespeare globe just before stop for a traditional lunch in a pub. (food/drink not included)
St Paul's Cathedral
The afternoon will begin with a guided visit of Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece St Paul's Cathedral - crowned by the magnificent dome that is so much a part of the London skyline. The Cathedral was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. In recent years it has seen the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, to Lady Diana Spencer and, most recently, the thanksgiving services for both the Golden Jubilee and 80th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen. The visit also included the unique access to the Whispering Gallery ((not normally visited by other tour groups.). On Sundays when there is restricted viewing at the Cathedral there will be an opportunity to enter and enjoy one of the services.
The tour finishes at County Hall - why not take a flight on the London Eye or visit the London Dungeons or Sealife Aquarium?(entrance not included)
