★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 113 reviews · 2 hours · from $26

“Nous avons reçu la veille de la visite prévue un message WhatsApp nous informant de l’incapacité à assurer la prestation pour cause d’indisponibilité de Buckingham avec des propositions de dates alternatives. Après avoir accepté l’une d’elles, nous avons été informés qu’elle n’était finalement pas possible pour cause de maladie des guides. Depuis, je m’épuise en relance en vue d’obtenir un remboursement - donc en résumé expérience déplorable à tous points de vue”

11.Tower of London, Thames Boat & Changing of the Guard

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 89 reviews · from $113

Enter the Tower of London before the crowds, see the Crown Jewels, cruise the Thames, and watch the Guards change in one busy morning.

“I couldn’t fault the tour and Louisa was just fabulous. Louisa knew where we should stand to get all the vantage points. Louisa was also able to bring a little comedy into history along the way. If you want more time to explore the Tower, you would need to go back on a separate ticket but I found the timings to be efficient for the morning program. The little boat ride was also a great way to see a little of London from the river. A great small group which allows us all to stay together and be where we need to be on time. Great morning out!”
