Itinerary
Depart from Bus Stop 8, Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria, SW1W 9SZ and enjoy a whistle stop tour of London’s famous monuments and marvel at the history of London’s modern masterpieces from the comfort of your seat.
Towering high over the City of London, magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral is widely considered to be Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece and marvel at the beautiful mosaics inside. *On Sundays due to church services, there is no guiding inside the cathedral.
Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard. As iconic an image of London as red telephone boxes and double–decker buses, the Changing of the Guard is a not–to–be–missed royal feast of bearskin hats and red tunics. *We will visit Horse Guards Parade when the ceremony is not available.
Enjoy a tour of the London sights as you head towards the beautiful Greenwich before docking off at the Tower of London.
The London Eye Experience - End your day with a London Eye experience and enjoy breath-taking views of London in the luxury of your glass capsule.
The Tower of London and Crown Jewels. During its 1000 year history this impressive fortress has been a Royal Palace, prison, mint and even a zoo! Be dazzled by the Cullinan diamonds and the spectacular Kohi–i–Noor at the Crown Jewels. Exclusive feature: ATTACK THE TOWER – Join a Yeoman Warder (‘Beefeater’) for an exclusive and very different view of the famous Tower of London on this guided tour. You will hear the story of the peasants’ revolt and attack on the Tower of 1381, the military cunning used to ensure the safety of the Monarch within, and how the Tower’s very architecture protects it from attack.

Traveler reviews
Great First Tour of London
My family enjoyed the day tour of London with Golden Tour company. Both the driver and the guide were friendly and efficient. Special shoutout to Tish(Patricia), who patiently guided all of us throughout the journey. It was a small group of under 15 people in total on a Saturday, which is super nice! We highly recommend the company to all ~~
Good value to see key London sights
For the few days we were in London, this Classic Plus Tour was excellent. We had Tish as our tour guide, who was very experienced. We were driven to several locations on a nice, large air conditioned tour bus, taken on guided tour of St. Paul's Cathedral, a view of the changing of the guards at Buckingham palace, a ride on London Eye, and on to the Tower of London where we could roam at leisure. The Crown Jewels were wonderful to see. We even had a short introduction to the Tower of London by one of the crown's Beefetaters. This tour captured several key sights without being too rushed.
Book your London exploration on this tour!
What a great experience! We were net by our wonderful guide, Tish, promptly at 8am. We had purchased the priority seating package which was well worth the extra cost as we sat up front directly behind our driver ( who also was excellent!) Tish was extremely kind and knowledgeable as we drove to our first destination at St. Paul's cathedral. As she guided us through the cathedral, Tish shared a great deal of history on the it. It was absolutely breathtaking inside! Next, we saw the Changing of the Guard, then took a ride up in the London Eye, and finished our day exploring the Tower of London! Our package included a very good box lunch with a Buddha bowl, chips, water bottle, and a small treat. Don't hesitate to book this adventure and if you're lucky, you may have Tish as your guide! The price was well worth a whole day of exploring the city and having lunch.
A Day of Full In London!
