5.Westminster 3 Hour Walking Tour and Visit of Churchill War Rooms

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 967 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $135.92

Walk Westminster's royal sights with a guide, then visit Churchill War Rooms with an audio guide. Big Ben, Abbey, WWII underground.

“If you want to learn more about Westminster and experience a wealth of attractions—many with strong ties to the Royal Family—don’t miss this tour. Our guide, Connor, was not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also warm, kind, and genuinely hilarious. He was also wonderfully quick-thinking: while we were viewing a sculpture of the late Queen Mother, he suddenly spotted a police brigade and whisked us over just in time to see Queen Camilla, resplendent in a wide hat, being driven from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace. I’ve visited London many times, but my tour with Connor will always stand out as one of the most memorable.”

“It was nice. Your guide quite knowledgeable and helpful. I wish he would have spoken louder. There were many tours going on, so it was pretty loud. He minded all the proper rules of the church. I could see and hear that not all tour guides did that. I appreciated his reverence.”

10.Tower Bridge River Sightseeing Cruise from Westminster

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 457 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $18.60Best value

A 1-hour Thames cruise from Westminster to Tower Bridge with top-deck views and live or phone commentary of London’s biggest sights.

“Enjoyed the sites on a beaytiful day, but: This was represented as a one hour round trip from West minster Pier to Tower Hill and Return. Actually it was 1/2 hour to "Tower Hill", but the other side of the river. We expected to exit the boat and immediately board another boat back to Westminster Pier so we could continue with Westminster Area sights and timed entry to Abbey. No! Instead there is noting interesting to see there and the next boat back was 1 hour and 10 min later, returning too late for our scheduled entries. Had to take a taxi back to Westminster Abbey. Disappointing.”

Did on a Sunday so less commercial boats on river so we really had a great Adrenalin speed run - my teenage kids loved it! Great to be out on the water on a sunny day to see London for a different viewpoint. Recommended!”
