London Highlights Day Tour - Westminster Abbey & Tower of London Entry with Thames Cruise

Discover a thousand years of coronation history
at Westminster Abbey

Meet your guide at the Abraham Lincoln statue in Parliament Square for a briefing on the day, then head to Westminster Abbey. With timed entry you skip the long lines and explore the abbey with your guide for about 1 hour 45 minutes. Hear about a thousand years of coronation history and see the Coronation Chair and Poets' Corner, where Charles Dickens and Geoffrey Chaucer are buried.

Watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace

After the abbey, pass the exterior of 10 Downing Street and stroll through St James's Park to the gates of Buckingham Palace. Here you watch the Changing of the Guard, or the Horse Guards parade on days without the ceremony. Then enjoy about 1 hour of free time for lunch near Trafalgar Square (lunch is at your own expense). After lunch, pass the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben for photos.

See London from a Thames Clipper

Board a Clipper at Westminster Pier and cruise along the Thames for about 45 minutes. See the London Eye, Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe, the Millennium Bridge, The Shard, HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge from the water.

See the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London

Arrive at the pier below the walls of the Tower of London, the fortress, royal palace and prison founded by William the Conqueror in 1066. For about 1 hour your guide leads you past Traitor's Gate and the Beefeaters, sharing stories of Guy Fawkes and the wives of Henry VIII, then takes you to the Jewel House to see the Crown Jewels, including the coronation crown. After visiting the White Tower, the tour ends at the Tower of London.

※ The guide does not accompany you inside the White Tower or the Jewel House, but walks you to the entrance and explains beforehand.
