Two of London's most famous buildings are brought to life with this exciting and intriguing four-hour tour. First, your private guide will take you to the Tower of London, which has variously been used as a royal residence, prison, and menagerie since its construction by William the Conqueror in 1078. Your guide will bring the Tower's dark history to life, telling you stories of imprisonment and execution before revealing the dazzling Crown Jewels.
After exploring the Tower, hop on one of London's iconic red double-decker buses with your guide and head to St Paul's Cathedral, Sir Christopher Wren's famous masterpiece. Built after the destruction of the Great Fire of London, the Cathedral has acted as the burial site for Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington, as well as the wedding venue for Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Climb up into the dome and you'll find yourself in the Whispering Gallery where you can test the acoustics and see if your whisper can be heard on the other side of the dome!
