Panoramic tour of London
Our day begins with a drive past many of London’s famous monuments - the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Downing Street, the official London residence
of the British Prime Minister, Trafalgar Square with the statue of Lord Nelson, Pall Mall and much more.
Westminster Abbey
We will make a photo stop at this magnificent Gothic building that has been the site of every coronation since 1066 and is also the final resting place of many Kings and Queens of England, as well as famous people including Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Dickens and Sir Isaac Newton.
Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard
We alight at Buckingham Palace, to witness the Queen’s Foot Guard in their red tunics and bearskins marching to the accompaniment of a military band - a colourful spectacle. (Or we will visit Horseguards Parade when this ceremony not available).
Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago these huge 40-ton rocks were dragged to the lonely, windy plain of Salisbury Hill, and their secrets continue to tantalise and intrigue scholars and visitors to this day. Was Stonehenge a religious temple, an astronomical clock, or a Bronze Age burial ground? Learn more about this iconic monument steeped in mystery and legend, and let your imagination be captivated by its silent, ancient mysteries.
Lunch (Optional)
Our optional lunch will be at a historic pub near Stonehenge.
Bath
Standing on the slopes of the River Avon, this beautiful Georgian city was the first city in England to be designated a World Heritage Site. On our panoramic tour you will see Bath Abbey, where the first British King was crowned in 973AD, and the famous Pulteney Bridge modelled on the Florentine Ponte Vecchio.
This tour will arrive back in London around 8.00pm.
