»Tower of London and River Cruise - Half Day Coach Tour
Highlights: Entrance to Tower of London * See the Crown Jewels * Thames River Cruise * See St. Paul's Cathedral * See The Bank of England
Your Half Day afternoon tour starts with a visit to the City of London, the world-famous financial centre that is dominated by the great dome of St Paul’s Cathedral. The City of London was the site of the original Roman city, founded some 2000 years ago. Here you will see the Mansion House (home to the Lord Mayor of London) and The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street (the Bank of England).
The Tower of London awaits. Here we meet the magnificent Beefeaters, dressed in their Tudor uniforms. You will hear the legend of the ravens and some spin-chilling tales from the Tower’s 900-year history. A visit to the Jewel House, which displays the Crown Jewels, is a ‘must’.
Our afternoon tour also finishes with a cruise on London’s River Thames, during which a Thames Waterman will point out places of interest along the way. Your cruise will end at Westminster Pier where you rejoin your coach.
