Total London Tour

Begin the morning with a visit to St. Paul's Cathedral, the iconic architectural masterpiece designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1673. Rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, its majestic dome continues to dominate the city's skyline. Over the years, it has played host to many significant events, including the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the Diamond Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

From St. Paul's, you will make a photo stop outside Westminster Abbey before heading to The Mall to witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Watch as one of the King's Foot Guard Household Regiments march from St. James Palace to Buckingham Palace to military music, dressed in their iconic red tunics and bearskin hats.

You'll then have free time to enjoy lunch at your leisure.

After your lunch break, continue to the historic Tower of London. Your guide will share captivating stories about this royal place and fortress. You will have plenty of free time to explore highlights such as the Crown Jewels, the White Tower, Traitor's Gate, the Armoury, and the infamous Bloody Tower. Keep an eye out for the famous ravens. Tradition has it that if the ravens leave the Tower, the monarchy will fall!

Next, enjoy a relaxing cruise on the River Thames, where you will have excellent views of Tower Bridge, The Shard, St. Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare's Globe, and the Houses of Parliament. Your final stop is the London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel.

Conclude your day with an included ride on Europe's largest Ferris wheel. This "flight" lasts approximately 30 minutes and will lift you more than 440 feet above London, providing The wheel has 32-glass-enclosed, air-conditioned capsules (one for each of the 32 London Boroughs) and holds 25 guests. Guests are free to walk about, and there is limited seating inside. When you return to earth, you are free to explore on your own.

Please Note: The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace happens on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday (weather permitting). If the Guard Change isn't happening, we'll still stop for photos near the Palace. On Wednesdays, when St. Paul's opens late, the tour won't include the Guard Change. Instead, we'll take a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace at the start of the day. On Sundays, there are no guided tours inside St. Paul's Cathedral due to church services, but guests can still observe part of the service.

This tour is intended for your pre/post cruise experience. Please be advised that the tour departure location is an approximately 2-hour drive from the port. You must find your own way to the tour departure location (at your own expense). There are many options, such as taking a taxi, train, bus, or any combination of the above.
