Take a glorious walk with us along London’s Thames Path which boasts an extravaganza of sights; Houses of Parliament, London Eye, The Savoy Hotel, Tate Modern, Borough Market, London Bridge and more! Our tour brings all of these amazing sights to life as we share with you, the stories that have shaped London because of this mighty river, the Thames. We condense 2000 years of history into a single tour, you will be amazed at the events that have taken place along this walkway.

About London

London mixes royal ceremony, world-class museums and riverside landmarks with distinct neighbourhoods, markets and parks to explore on foot.

The Thames threads the city together. On its banks stand the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge and the long South Bank walk past the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey anchor the older skyline, while glass towers crowd the financial district.

Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
