Vintage London Open Top Tour + Stonehenge Skip the Line**Thames River Cruise | Tower of London | Changing of the Guard**

What better way to see the highlights of London than on board a vintage Red double Decker bus? Enjoy great views of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and London Eye as we tour the streets and history of our great city. Have your cameras at the ready as we stop for photos at Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece: St. Paul's Cathedral, where Admirals Nelson and Wellington lie buried, and where Princess Diana was married. Then join us at the Tower of London, built nearly a thousand years ago during the reign of William the Conqueror, now home to the Crown Jewels protected by the famous Beefeaters. The imposing former palace was once used as a fortress and a prison. You will see Traitors Gate, where prisoners entered the Tower for the last time! Next we'll take a leisurely cruise on the River Thames, passing Shakespeare’s Globe, Cleopatra’s Needle and Tower Bridge before arriving at Westminster pier, where we'll rejoin the bus and head for Buckingham Palace, making our way to the perfect spot to watch the world famous Changing of the Guard. Following one free hour for lunch (own expense), we'll board a luxury air-conditioned coach headed for the most famous prehistoric monument in the world: Stonehenge, standing alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Dating back nearly 5,000 years, Stonehenge was once the site of pagan religion and spiritual worship. What was this vast collection of stones intended for? Was it observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40 ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design. Entrance to the site with audio guide is included.

The tour will end at Victoria Coach Station.
