Highlights
This tour takes us along the banks of the River Thames between two of the most famous buildings in the world, the Houses of Parliament & the Tower of London. We will travel on both sides of this famous old river which locals lovingly refer to as 'Old Father Thames' at various points along the tour. The fine buildings of London are meant to be seen from the river side & we will learn how things have changed over the centuries and millennia & learn how the river has shaped and influenced London right up to the present day. We will learn the stories of some people that lived along the banks and some of the terrible disasters that have befallen the city.It's not all bad news though as we will past some iconic bridges, amazing photo opportunities & some of the most funky parts of town that until now travellers rarely got the chance to explore. We will see many of the most famous sights in London but also hidden places right by the river which are little changed from centuries ago.

About London
London verbindet königliches Zeremoniell, Weltklassemuseen und Wahrzeichen am Fluss mit eigenständigen Vierteln, Märkten und Parks für Fußgänger.
Die Themse hält die Stadt zusammen. An ihren Ufern stehen das Parlament mit Big Ben, der Tower mit den Kronjuwelen, die Tower Bridge und der lange Spazierweg der South Bank, vorbei am London Eye, Shakespeares Globe und der Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral und Westminster Abbey bestimmen die ältere Skyline, während sich im Finanzviertel Glastürme drängen.
Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
