London – it’s the bustling, crowded capital of the UK that’s packed with history, culture and things to see and do. But getting from A to B in the capital can be a challenge – navigating the tube (underground) system or finding the right iconic Red London bus to take is no mean feat! That’s why you should consider private tours; London is best seen with a guide who knows it well.
Why choose a private tour?
You might think that a chauffeur-driven tour is only for the very rich; in fact, more people than ever before are opting for tours like this as a great way to ensure they don’t miss out on any of London’s sights. Hopping on a tour bus around the city is all very well, but a private tour gives you a more personalised service, which means you can ask questions about the city’s history or any of the sights that you see.
What should you see in London?
A tour of London by night is one of the best ways to take in the stunning surroundings. You’ll see buildings such as The Shard, the Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace and of course Big Ben. Visit Southbank and see The London Eye and Tower Bridge lit up or head for Trafalgar Square. The city skyline is simply beautiful at night and is not to be missed!
Rich history
London’s maritime history is fascinating, so why not take a private tour of the Royal Naval College, The Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum to find out more about this fascinating side of the UK’s capital? The Royal Observatory in Greenwich is where the world’s time measurement was born – heard of Greenwich Mean Time?
Musical notes
If you’re a fan of The Beatles, you’ll love London. You could enjoy a tour of Abbey Road and the famous studios where their albums were recorded, or even have your photo taken on ‘that’ zebra crossing! There’s also the opportunity to visit filming locations, check out the shops on Carnaby Street and see the band’s London homes.
Forget hopping on a crowded, stuffy tour bus when the sun is shining in London. Don’t pack yourself into a sweaty, busy tube carriage or worry about missing your stop on the train – enjoy a private tour and you’ll travel in comfort, with a knowledgeable guide. You can make your own itinerary so you’ll have plenty of time to spend at the sights you want to see more of, and can skip any that don’t interest you. It’s the perfect way to see London!
