You Can Choose From Among The Many Custom Tours London Visitors Love

By Mary Wilson


If you have never had the opportunity to visit England, you have missed one of the most beautiful, interesting, and historic countries in the world. Everywhere you look there are castles and keeps dating back hundreds of years. The landscape is lush, and most of its cities are kept in pristine condition. If you are planning to visit the United Kingdom for the first time, you should consider the custom tours London visitors always rave about.

If you are a first time visitor, you can get a great general sense of the city by taking one of several popular excursions touring companies offer. You will be first in line in the morning to take a walk through Christopher Wren's masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral. From there you will travel to Westminster Abbey for a photo opportunity. Next comes the Queen's home, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guards.

In the afternoon, you will be treated to a tour of the Tower of London to see where Anne Boleyn lost her head and where the Princes were imprisoned. You will have a chance to view the Crown Jewels and visit the White Tower. A trip down the Thames is next on your agenda with this tour. You will end this busy day with a flight on the London eye. This is the highest observation wheel in the world and offers breathtaking views over the entire city.

Repeat visitors, looking for an adventurous and fascinating tour of the seamy side of old England, can take one of several excursions that highlight London's mysterious and notorious past. The tour begins with an open double decker bus tour through the city's haunted streets to Tower Hill, infamous for the routine beheadings that occurred there.

Notorious Smithfield Market may be next on your agenda. This is reportedly the site where Braveheart was hanged, drawn, and quartered as the opening attraction in a medieval carnival. If that is not gory enough, you can retrace Jack the Ripper's steps in his murderous pursuit of prostitutes. A final stop at Sherlock Holmes pub to discuss the identity of the killer is a good way to end the day.

Harry Potter fans won't want to miss the Warner Brothers Studio Tour that has been recently updated and expanded. This tour takes visitors behind the scenes to see the sets, costumes and props that make the movies so special. Tour guides will reveal secrets about the animatronics and special effects no one else knows.

During your time here you'll visit the Great Hall, see Dumbledore's private office, and walk down Diagon Alley to visit the shops where Harry and his friends picked out their favorite wands and brooms. The train station and Platform 9 3/4 has been expanded and the Forbidden Forest is now open for visitors to step into.

No matter what your tastes and interests, you'll find a tour to enjoy. In this magical city, the possibilities are endless. England's capital is like no other place on the planet.
