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.

This is a great experience! The tour was a great way to see many different places. We only had one day.
Buses were very frequent and at lots of locations. Easy process, just show pass on phone to board bus, drivers very pleasant and helpful. There are headphones available free on the bus to hear commentary as you travel but this was a bit hit and miss. We included the cruise which was very worthwhile. The map provided was good but it would be helpful to know in which direction buses travelled as this caused a bit of confusion! Overall a good experience which I would definitely use again.
Thank you for your detailed review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the frequent buses, helpful drivers, and Thames cruise. We also appreciate your feedback about the commentary and bus directions, which we will share with the team. We are thrilled you would use the service again and look forward to welcoming you back to London!
We had a great time on the bus and the boat seeing lots of sights of london. The members of staff and bus drivers were helpful and friendly. We did have to get off one bus and wait for another as a driver was going for his break and waited slightly longer than advertised for an orange route bus but we really enjoyed our day overall.
