Private guided tour inside St Paul's Cathedral
Go inside St Paul's Cathedral, enjoy a highlights tour with your guide. One of the most important places of Christian worship in the world, and architecturally a masterpiece of baroque grandeur. Vast amounts of pure white stone contrast with colourful mosaics within the saucer domes, giant statues of British heroes stand to watch like oversized historical ghosts - it is an overwhelming experience. The central dome of St Paul's is an excellent engineering wonder; people draw breath when seen. If you are feeling energetic, climb the 533 steps into the superstructure of the said dome, stop at the famous Whispering Gallery before reaching the outside for incredible views of London.
Private guided tour inside the Tower of London
Enjoy a private tour inside The Tower of London, an ancient royal palace, castle, and infamous prison. The Tower of London is quite rightly famous for being a jail of sorts, not an ordinary one, a super VIP prison. The incarceration of Queens, Kings, and government officials, such as Queen Anne Boleyn, Thomas Cromwell, Princess Elizabeth and Saint Thomas More. See the English Crown Jewels, including the Imperial State Crown, the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the First Star of Africa, the largest diamond in the world.
Take a walk-through-time and discover London's layers of history. Stroll the old alleyways and your guide will reveal hidden squares, ancient chapels and fragments of the Roman London. Go below ground and see those layers of time, hear tales of fire, buried treasure, and gladiatorial combat. The Old City of London has many secrets; in fact, two thousand years of stories, buildings and culture.
Leave London feeling like you know its origins, its soul and culture.
