Overview

Explore London’s top 20 world famous landmarks on a 5 hour walking tour and visit the Sherlock Holmes museum to learn about the world's most famous investigator sleuth.

Start with a walking tour of the history, culture, and legends of one of Europe’s best-loved cities. Head through Green Park to Buckingham Palace, watch the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony (daily Jun & Jul, otherwise Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun). Head to Westminster, see Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament. Go to the London Bridge area to see Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London.
