About this tour

Spend a 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 guided London sightseeing tour brings the city’s history and pageantry into view, with a Blue Badge guide and personal audio headset to help you follow along.

Travel by coach to see celebrated sights including Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, then watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace when scheduled. If the ceremony is unavailable there, the tour visits the Changing of the Guard at Horse Guards Parade instead. Explore the Tower of London, with entry included, and visit St Paul’s Cathedral when it is open to the public. A Thames River cruise adds a different perspective on the city and can be taken on another day. The tour departs from Victoria Coach Station at 9:00 am, with boarding from 8:30 am.

Choose the London Eye option for a standard-entry visit around 6:30 pm; this independent visit is subject to availability. Make the most of your day with a London sightseeing tour that pairs famous landmarks, royal ceremony, and river views.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.31 from 1,926 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.
