Buckingham
Palace Tour
Watching
the traditional changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace is a must
when in London, and on this 4.5-hour you'll get to experience this event, as
well as other typical British traditions. The package combines three major
attractions: the changing of the guard, a tour of the State Apartments and
traditional afternoon tea. The guided tour passes through St. James Park before
stopping to watch the guard ceremony with soldiers dressed in traditional
uniforms, followed by entry into Buckingham Palace for an audio tour. After,
travelers will head to a luxury hotel for traditional afternoon tea, scones and
sandwiches.
Thames
River Sightseeing Cruise
Afternoon
tea is a British tradition, and to make this casual, elegant experience even
more relaxing, you can combine it with a sightseeing cruise of London's Thames
River, the main waterway that flows through the heart of the city. Board a
window-lined vessel for an hour-and-a-half voyage from Tower Pier to
Westminster that includes traditional tea service with pastries, scones and
sandwiches. The boat will float past iconic sites like the Tower of London, Big
Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, as well as Shakespeare's
famous Globe Theatre. On the return, feel free to wander the outside deck for
photos and listen to informative commentary from the staff.
