London tours

A trip to London is an experience that everyone will enjoy. There are so many exciting things to do and see – museums, rides, restaurants and terrific shopping. At London Tours, you can choose from three special tours around the city.

Tour by bus

Do you want to see London without walking a lot? London Tours offers a bus tour of London’s most famous places. Our bus tours will take you to Buckingham Place, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and other amazing places in the city. Each of our bus tours has a tour guide who can tell you all about the places you will see. The tour lasts just 2 hours, so it’s great for people who haven’t got a lot of time but still want to see everything.

Walking tour

This tour is popular with students and teachers. Our tour guides will take you in groups of 12 on a walking tour of Trafalgar Square, Downing Street or wherever you want to go. With our walking tours, you decide what you want to see and do. You can choose from a list of places and our tour guide will be happy to take you there. Tours last a whole morning or afternoon. Of course, if you don’t see everything, you can come back the next day to see more!

Boat tours

What is more exciting than seeing London by boat? This tour takes you on a 3-hour boat ride down the River Thames. Our boats take you past the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge and many more of London’s beautiful buildings. Our guide will also be there to tell you all about it. You’ll love this river experience!
