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.

First time visitors might enjoy one of the day long excursions that take you all over the city to view the most iconic sights. It starts first thing in the morning at the doors of Christopher Wren's architectural masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral. After a respectful tour, it is off to Westminster Abbey for a picture taking session. Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guards rounds out the morning.

The ravens will greet you at the infamous Tower of London, the last home of Anne Boleyn and the Princes in the Tower. This is where the Crown Jewels are kept, and you will have a chance to view them on your way to the White Tower. A leisurely boat ride down the Thames will give you spectacular views of this city. Finally it is time to fly up and away on the London Eye, the highest observation wheel on the planet.

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.

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.

For children of all ages, the Warner Brother Studio Tour of its making of Harry Potter is a must see. For your added enjoyment, the attraction has recently been expanded and updated. Visitors get to see props, costumes, and behind the scenes looks of this great movie series. The hidden secrets of the special effects and animatronics will be revealed to you.

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.

There are many ancient cities in countries around the world. They all have their charm, but for many England's capital is special. No matter how often tourists get to visit, they always find something new to do and see. Not every city can boast the same.
