Day 2 - Explore London and ride on the London Eye

Your chauffeur and an expert local guide will be waiting to meet you for a full-day sightseeing tour of the City of London and Westminster. Visit the Tower of London, where the Beefeaters guard the dazzling Crown Jewels, and gain excellent views of Tower Bridge from the Medieval Palace.

Your next stop today is St Paul’s Cathedral. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the church was part of a major rebuilding programme which took place after the Great Fire of 1666 and is widely considered to be one of the world’s most attractive buildings.

This afternoon visit Westminster. Enjoy a ride on the London Eye, from which you can gain wonderful views of many of the city’s landmarks.  Continue on to Trafalgar Square, where the National Gallery of Art is overshadowed by Nelson's Column.

Spend the afternoon exploring London at your leisure. Optional Extra

Later this afternoon, you may like to tumble down the ‘rabbit hole’ and discover a sumptuous afternoon tea inspired by the world of Alice in Wonderland.

This evening, meet your driver and Guardian Angel for a wonderful evening at the theatre! Transfer to one of London’s top theatres to see a spectacular musical of your choice.
