About this tour

See London’s landmark sights in a day, from the coach window and on foot. This London Experience Tour takes in Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and other celebrated city landmarks, with a visit to the Tower of London and a guided tour of St Paul’s Cathedral led by an expert Blue Badge Guide. You’ll also receive a ticket for a sightseeing cruise on the Thames, a refreshing way to take in the city from the water.

The itinerary includes a chance to watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace on scheduled days, subject to availability. The river cruise can be taken on another day, and you can finish at the Tower of London rather than Westminster Pier. Entry to the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral, the guide, and the cruise are included, so you can focus on the sights. Arrive by 7:30 am with valid photo ID or a passport; mobile e-tickets are sent by email before the tour. Choose this London Experience Tour for a full day among the capital’s best-known landmarks.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 30% in London means it ranks in the top 30% of tours in London by this score.
