Discovering London - City Tour and Thames River Cruise

The tour begins with a panoramic drive around parliament Square, to see Westminster Abbey, where many of England's Kings, Queens, Statesmen, poets and writers are buried.

See other famous London sights, including Big Ben and the Gothic wonder that is the Houses of Parliament. Travel along Whitehall and Downing Street, the London residence of the Prime Minister, to Trafalgar Square. The proud Victorian center of London is watched over by Lord Nelson from the top of the 202 foot Nelson's Column towering above the skyline.

See the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace in all its colorful pageantry, followed by a hearty well-earned lunch onboard one of London's finest restaurants, The RS Hispaniola. Moored opposite the London Eye on the banks of the River Thames, sit back and enjoy the splendid fine dining experience that the Hispaniola has to offer. After lunch, join a Thames River Cruise for great views of the Gothic style Houses of Parliament, London Eye and London's famous bridges.

Continue to the Tower of London. Jet black ravens guard this ancient fortress steeped in centuries of murder, treason and the untold secrets of the condemned. The Beefeaters will tell you about the Tower's history and the Crown Jewels.

Continue to the square mile of the City of London, see the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, Mansion House (home to the Lord Mayor of London), and the nearby Bank of England, known as The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, at the heart of the city.
