London River Story - Private Full-Day Boat and Land Tour
Overview
Follow the story of London along the river that gave it life, exploring four of its most historic areas and all top landmarks with your own personal local guide.
We travel between areas in the best way possible - relaxing as we glide along the water by boat (Uber Boats by Thames Clippers day ticket included!)
Meet your guide at the iconic Battersea Power Station and set sail into the heart of London. We’ll get off to walk by the top sights of Westminster (inc. Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Horse Guards Parade and London Eye) then ride across the river to the Southbank (Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market, London Bridge).
See the Tower of London, then sail under Tower Bridge on the way to Greenwich, where we see the Cutty Sark, Old Royal Naval College, Queen’s House and more. We walk uphill to end the tour at the historic Royal Observatory, home to the Prime Meridian timeline and "London's Best View"!
If you only have time for one London tour, this epic day trip covers the lot!
