Join a licensed local guide for an in-depth look at London, from the royal haunt of Buckingham Palace (the official London residence of King Charles III) to the slightly more democratic Speakers’ Corner of Hyde Park, where anyone can pull up a soapbox and orate to his heart’s content. You’ll see the changing of the guard (season permitting), the clock tower of Big Ben with its 14-ton bell, and Westminster Abbey, where almost every English king and queen since William the Conqueror has been crowned. After a stop at the Houses of Parliament, continue on to the magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral, the masterpiece of London architect Christopher Wren.

See Trafalgar Square, often used for community gatherings and political demonstrations.

Visit Piccadilly Circus, a shopping and entertainment area brightly lit with video displays and neon signs.

The art of fashion, textiles and furnishings are the talk of the V & A. Visitors flock to see the finest global works of decorative art and design spanning the ages. You’ll wander through riches like Imperial Chinese robes and Chintz costumes from India. And float up to the top floor for a heavenly view of treasured ceramics lit by a huge glass ceiling.

Get up close and personal with the Tower of London. Towers, rather. Twenty stone towers, as well as tunnels, winding staircases and narrow passageways comprise this huge fortress covering 18 acres on the banks of the Thames. A royal residence from the 11th - 16th centuries, the Tower also served as a jewel safe and a prison. The headless skeletons of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (Henry VIII's former wives who were executed here) are believed to be buried here. The Crown Jewels are housed here, including the largest cut diamond in the world (530-carats). Beefeaters (guards) lead tours through the Tower.

Explore the British Museum, one of the most comprehensive collections of art and artifacts in the world. Highlights of our visit will include the Rosettta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo Treasure.

Visit and take a tour of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Museum, housed in a reconstruction of the original theater that closed in 1642 and dedicated to the experience and international understanding of Shakespeare in performance. The museum explores the costumes, special effects, music and printing and publishing process during the Shakespearean era.

Please note that shows from November to March take place at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

Take a trip to the banks of the River Avon and explore the rich history of this 1,100 year old castle. Wander through its grand interior, meet Henry VIII and his wives, and experience the re-creation of the dark and grisly past of the castle’s dungeons.
