Description:

Discover the architectural and cultural diversity of London on this guided tour of its historic old city, known as “The City” by locals. Learn about its origin, admire the impressive ancient buildings, and explore its maze of streets that date back nearly 2,000 years.

Begin your tour in Covent Garden and hear about the history of the district before you head east in the direction of St. Paul's Cathedral. Admire the Baroque style of this majestic landmark, which dates back to the 17th century. Next, see the empowering Bank of England and The Monument—learn about the significance of this landmark, including how it honors the Great Fire of London and celebrates the rebuilding of The City.

Continue to London Bridge and pass by imposing sights such as Shakespeare's Globe, the Mansion House, and the extraordinary Tower Bridge. Your guide tells you about the mix of old and modern architecture that symbolizes the city and then shows you the modern city, including the Millennium Bridge and the Tate Modern Art Gallery. Your tour ends with a walk by the riverside.
