London is packed with plenty of things to do so let us guide you through the city to visit the prime locations and top attractions including historical museums, lush green city parks, and modern galleries.

Our bus tours offer you the chance to hop off the colourful bus at any one of the marked stops and explore numerous attractions all in one day.

A short stroll away, you will encounter an extraordinary piece of engineering design and architecture – The London Eye. For those who enjoy overlooking the city from a great height The London Eye will take you on a flight above and beyond for exhilarating views as far as Windsor Castle! You will also observe many of the grand sights and can hop off at St James’s Park, the royal Buckingham Palace or St Paul’s Cathedral!
