About this tour

Spend a full day among London’s landmark sights, from the grand dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral to the storied walls of the Tower of London. This London Full-Day Sightseeing Tour pairs a panoramic drive in a luxury air-conditioned coach with time to explore some of the city’s best-known attractions.

Meet your guide near Victoria station and set off through the capital. Stop for photos at Buckingham Palace, with a chance to see the Changing of the Guard when the ceremony is scheduled and conditions allow. Visit St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, where you can see the Crown Jewels, then take in the city from the Thames on a river boat ride. A London Eye experience is available if selected. The Signature option adds premium seating and a lunch pack. On Sundays, cathedral services mean there is no guiding inside St. Paul’s.

With transport and a professional guide bringing the day together, this London Full-Day Sightseeing Tour offers a convenient way to connect major sights across the city. Arrive at the Victoria meeting point in time for the 8:00 AM departure and make a day of London’s history and skyline.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.23 from 783 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 3.5.
