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
Londons 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 its great for people who havent 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 dont 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 Londons beautiful buildings. Our guide will also
be there to tell you all about it. Youll love this river experience!
