Service Description

London is many things to many people: grand, royal, full of tradition, yet there is a cozy pub on every corner (or maybe two or three!) It is big, noisy, and crowded, but around every corner there is always a bit of peace in the form of a gorgeous park or garden. It’s been home to many for 2,000 years, and we will cover all those years in just one hour! Where to begin? At the beginning, of course – the remains of the City’s Roman wall, where we talk about Londinium’s emperors, followed by kings and rulers (Saxon, Danish, and even Viking) that have led the City until a man from France came on the scene, William I. He is responsible for building the next stop on our tour, The Tower of London. The Tower has had many uses through the years, including a fortress, prison, mint, and a few other things we’ll find out. It is situated next to the Thames River where we discern the difference between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Later we travel past a church that goes back to the 600s and has American connections, to a pub aptly named, The Hung, Drawn and Quartered! Next we stop at buildings with scars from the fiery past of London including The Great Fire of 1666 and The Blitz of World War 2. There is also a stop at the quaint Victorian market commonly thought to be the one mentioned in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and finally we stop in amongst the towering buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries with very British nicknames like the Inside Out Building, the Cheesegrater and the Gherkin! Whew! 2,000 years in just 1 hour! It’s possible, and you don’t even need to leave your home! $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
