Morning sightseeing with Local Guide. (3 hours)
Tour includes:
St. Paul’s Cathedral inside visit (except Sunday – see below)
And panoramic of all/some of the following, depending upon traffic:
Parliament Square Marble Arch
Westminster Abbey Trafalgar Square
Houses of Parliament Tower Bridge
Albert Hall Tower of London
Buckingham Palace
NB
- Guard change has now been removed from all itinerary texts. New operating time and days of operation make it tricky to incorporate. Essentially a photo stop at Buckingham Palace should still be made. Emphasize the positives to GL.
- It is not possible to visit St. Paul’s on Sundays. Either visit with group another time (using voucher). Liaise with the office on this.
- St Paul’s galleries are now included. Meeting. Check that you have enough adults willing to do the climb, over 500 steps to the very top, as the Cathedral insists on one adult per ten students.
- Explain to the group that the coach will not be returning to the hotel.
- Remember to warn groups about pickpockets, to keep together and keep up with the guide at all times. The VOX headsets will help.
