Spotlight on London

Get ready for a trip to one of the world’s trendiest cities, full of history, charm, and regal flair.

Welcome to London, a metropolis that is both timeless and sophisticated. Beautiful gardens hidden behind bustling city streets. Museums, monuments, and grand theaters tell a rich story that you’ll uncover on your journey. This evening, join your new travel companions at a modern English restaurant, and kick off your tour with a welcome dinner.

There’s no better way to start the day than at the Tower of London, the iconic world heritage site steeped in a dark and fascinating history. After free time for lunch, a local expert shows you the exteriors of the most famous buildings, which include Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey, on this afternoon's two hour walking tour. The evening is yours to immerse yourself further into this eclectic and vibrant city.

London at your leisure. Today, you do you, London-style. A free day means independent exploration of London’s treasures. Or perhaps join an optional excursion to Windsor Castle, the home of kings and queens for nine centuries and the oldest royal residence still in use today.

Take the local transport river bus along the River Thames en route to Greenwich to change up the view; the skyline looks spectacular from the water. On arrival, the time is yours to explore the attractions. Test your seafaring prowess onboard the Cutty Sark, a Victorian-style ship that served as a tea clipper. Or perhaps take a walk through the park, up the steep hill to the Royal Observatory, the home of Greenwich Mean Time and stand on the famous Meridian Line. Join a local guide for a walking culinary tour, sampling the best of the local eateries and foods of traditional and ethnic London.

This morning, explore the birthplace of Queen Victoria, Kensington Palace. Home to the current Prince and Princess of Wales. Take a peek into the state apartments, and the grounds of the Palace. The rest of the day is yours to spend at your own leisurely pace. This evening join your new friends for a farewell dinner at a local Mediterranean restaurant.

It’s time to go home… with new friends, countless memories, and souvenirs from your London adventure.
