Tower of London Private Shore Excursion with London Sightseeing

Meet your private guide at Southampton Cruise Terminal

Your tour begins right at the cruise terminal, where your guide greets you with a warm welcome. Settle into your private vehicle for the scenic drive to London while hearing stories about the historic sites you'll soon see up close.

Sightseeing drive through Westminster and St. Paul's

Enter central London and pass Westminster Abbey, the Gothic church where every monarch since 1066 has been crowned. Next comes Buckingham Palace, home to the King, followed by Big Ben's iconic clock tower. Then you'll spot St. Paul's Cathedral, the Baroque masterpiece built after the Great Fire of 1666, its massive dome still dominating the skyline.

Skip-the-line at the Tower of London

Pull up to this 1,000-year-old fortress on the Thames, originally built by William the Conqueror. Skip the line and step through the ancient stone walls that have witnessed royal ceremonies, political prisoners, and bloody executions. Your guide leads the way into one of England's most historic landmarks.

Guided tour of the Tower of London

Follow your guide through the White Tower, where medieval armor lines the walls, then into the Bloody Tower, where two young princes vanished in 1483. At Tower Green, hear how Anne Boleyn and other nobles met their end. Finally, see the Crown Jewels—glittering crowns, scepters, and regalia still used by the royal family today.

Your tour ends at your central London hotel

After a full day of royal history, your guide delivers you straight to your hotel in central London. You'll arrive relaxed and ready to explore the city on your own or unwind after soaking up centuries of British heritage.
