Custom Tours London Visitors Can't Stop Talking About

By Mary Wilson


Visiting England should be on the wish list for everyone who loves to travel. It is brimming with ancient histories, wars, royalty, and international intrigue. The thatched cottages look like pictures in a children's storybook. If you have plans to visit the capital for the first time or the fiftieth, it might be a good idea to sign up for the custom tours London visitors raves about.

There are favorite excursions that touring companies have to offer and one is a day long trek through the city starting at St. Paul's Cathedral. Guests on this tour are there when the doors open and allowed to walk through Christopher Wren's masterpiece. A photo opportunity outside Westminster Abbey is the next stop, and then it is on to the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace.

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.

If you have already taken a tour of this city and have an adventurous spirit, there are specialty excursions that highlight the notorious and mysterious history that surrounds England's capital. You will begin with an open bus tour of the haunted streets of the city and travel to Tower Hill where beheadings routinely took place.

Next you'll take a walk through the notorious Smithfield Market and see where Braveheart was tortured. As the day winds down, it will be time to walk the alley ways where Jack the Ripper performed his macabre murders. Once you have completed that tour, you will be ready to relax at the Sherlock Holmes pub and discuss with the other tour members who Jack really was.

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.

The Great Hall and Dumbledore's private office are open to visitors, and a new and improved train station now gives everyone a chance to stand on Platform 9 3/4. You can purchase your own Quidditch broom and wizarding wand at the shops along Diagon Alley and use them for protection as you enter the Forbidden Forest.

No matter whether you are a first time visitor or have enjoyed the city multiple times, you can find a tour that is perfect for your needs and interests. Each one will show you things you have never seen before. This is truly a city like no other.
