Itinerary

Day 1: Tower - Tower Bridge - Dungeon

We start at the TOWER OF LONDON. William I began building the castle as a symbol of his power over the people of England. You will discover the grisly tales of torture, see the Crown Jewels and meet the Beefeaters. Nearby is the iconic TOWER BRIDGE over the River Thames. Ride to the top of the bridge and get a magnificent view of London before descending beneath the river to see the engine rooms. On the south side are the LONDON DUNGEONS. Live actors, shows, two rides and interactive special effects ensure you experience the darkest moments in the capital's history.

Day 2: Westminster - Guards - London Eye

WESTMINSTER ABBEY has been the resting place of English monarchs and close-by are the Houses of Parliament and BIG BEN. Walking up the Mall, the Queen’s ceremonial route and wide enough to land an airplane, we stop at BUCKINGHAM PALACE to see the CHANGING OF THE GUARD. Next, a ride on The LONDON EYE - the circumference of the wheel is 1392ft - meaning, if it were unraveled, it would be 1.75 times longer than the UK's tallest building. After lunch, at the HARD ROCK CAFE, adorned with memorabilia of the stars, you see a matinee THEATRE performance of your choice, such as The Lion King.

Day 3: Tussauds - Hamleys - Tea

At the waxworks museum MADAME TUSSAUDS, you can meet your favorite stars from movies, history and sport. Have your photo taken with Barack Obama, the Queen and Brad Pitt! Regent Street is a shopper’s paradise and location of the finest toy shop in the world, HAMLEYS. Established in 1760, this store has six floors of toys. Then over to the chic London village of Kensington and enjoy HIGH TEA at Harrods. Finally, one of the outstanding museums in the area. Either the magnificent dinosaurs at the NATURAL HISTORY or travel into space at the SCIENCE MUSEUM.

Day 4: Covent Garden - British Museum

At COVENT GARDEN you find street entertainers, shops and restaurants. It was the site of a flower market from the 1500s until 1974. The first mention of a Punch and Judy show in Britain was recorded here in 1662. From here we go to TRAFALGAR SQUARE, dominated by the huge column topped with a statue of England’s most famous sailor, Lord Nelson. Alternatively, you could visit RIPLEY'S Believe It or Not!, an ultimate insight into the world of the odd and bizarre. Finally, to the oldest museum in the world, the BRITISH MUSEUM to see the 94 galleries spanning two million years of World history.
