Itinerary
The London Eye stands out beautifully at night, its illuminated wheel reflecting over the Thames and creating one of the city’s most iconic evening views.
Buckingham Palace, the grand and iconic London residence of His Majesty the King is an absolute must-see on any visit to London. A fully working royal palace, housing not only the King, but serving as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household.
The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses yet despite its grim reputation as a place of torture and death, there are so many more stories to be told. The ancient stones reverberate with dark secrets, priceless jewels glint in fortified vaults and ravens strut the grounds.
An essential addition to any visit to London and set in the heart of the city, Westminster Abbey is legendary and iconic. Boasting a rich history that spans over one thousand years, the site was originally occupied by Benedictine monks in the middle of the tenth century. The current gothic masterpiece has stood there for about 700 years. The imperious gothic master work is truly breathtaking and the intricate stained glass is some of the most beautiful in the UK.
Also known as the Millennium Wheel, London Eye is one of the largest Ferris wheel in Europe and one of the most popular attractions in the UK. The iconic London Eye offers breathtaking views of London from high above the River Thames.
The Elizabeth Tower, also known as “Big Ben“, dates from 1858 and had its 150th anniversary in 2009. It is one of the most iconic symbols of the UK and a must see attraction in London. Big Ben is famous in the world for its accuracy and for its massive bell.

This is a beautiful way to see the London sights without worrying about crowds, traffic or logistics. Seeing the landmarks lit up was a perfect way to enjoy an evening on our trip. Our guide, Emma, was knowledgeable, informative and funny! We were able to stop for pictures and she was even kind enough to make sure we caught the right underground back to our hotel. I would highly recommend the trip and Emma too.

We did this tour as almost an after-thought on a busy day where our schedule had gotten a little delayed and we wanted something to do before late supper. It was a perfect low pressure excursion that created some of the best pictures from our trip (be ready to snap quickly!). The guide was peppy and entertaining with the Trademark British cheekiness, while delivering rapid fire history. We did the 7pm tour so more of a sun-setting experience with a clear blue sky but the breeze was fabulous on a 30°C day!

Dominick at Golden tours was excellent! He had so much information and detail packed into this ride. He was engaging and funny and appealed to 3 different generations in our family.

There was so much to see and the Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and it was funny watching him laugh at his own jokes, but as everything was so close to each other (we realise it’s unavoidable so not a complaint) we felt like we had whiplash turning left then right then left then right.
