London Full Day Sightseeing Tour with London Eye

3.London Full Day Sightseeing Tour with London Eye

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 716 reviews · 8 hours 50 minutes (approx.) · from $177

Start at Victoria for a guided coach tour, then enter St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, cruise the Thames, and ride the London Eye if selected. Guides such as Mark, Morton, Tish, and Zozo are known for strong storytelling, but the packed schedule calls for good walking shoes and a snack.

“Tish was great, but the tour was overpriced for the overall experience and sites. Changing of the guards was a waste of time due to our arrival time and crowds. We didn't see Westminster in our brief drive-by and the tour ended early based upon advertised time.”

“Massive estate and gardens, dress comfortably with walking shoes. Tom, our guide, was fantastic: he made history come to life and was open to all sorts of questions. Truly enjoyed the high tea - perfect way to end the tour. One recommendation: The meeting pace is hectic and super crowded. Tom would have been easier to find with an identifying cap or flag.”

“A great day. Dave was the perfect guide who demonstrated great knowledge of the local area and gave everyone some great tips about each area. The only thing that let the day down was the clientèle. Whilst parents do need to keep their children entertained does it have to be at the expense of others. This quasi crèche experience wasnt pleasant. If phones / ipads are used to entertain the children please consider others. Limit the volume so that it certainly isn't louder than the PA system but better still bring headphones for the kids. Also be considerate when consuming food either the night before or on the coach. Smelly…”

“It was a great way to see all of Isle of Man highlights in a day with someone who knows the history, Island and people. John was in touch even before the tour, giving me tips on bringing warm clothes as weather was unseasonably cold. Also telling me to take the bus from the airport to my hotel, a much more reasonable way to commute. I saw all the major sites and had sufficient time at each place. I enjoyed my conversations with John throughout the day. He is well-informed and friendly. I will highly recommend seeing Isle of Man with John.”
