UNESCO World Heritage Site Greenwich tour and Thames River cruise
Discover Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a private tour that starts in your hotel lobby and keeps the crowds out of the picture. Your expert guide handles every detail, so you can simply enjoy the day. You'll step inside the Royal Naval College's Painted Hall, a 40,000-square-foot masterpiece often called the finest dining hall in the western world, then explore the National Maritime Museum, where Lord Nelson's Trafalgar coat is among the highlights. At the Royal Observatory, you'll stand with one foot in each hemisphere on the Prime Meridian and hear how Greenwich came to set the world's clocks.
Travel the way Londoners do, by taxi, Tube, and on foot, with your guide beside you for the whole day. Along the way, you'll tour the old Docklands, once the busiest docks on earth, and hear tales of pirates and crime. In Greenwich, you'll stroll the old palace grounds before stopping for lunch at a local pub. Afterward, step aboard the Cutty Sark clipper ship and wander through the Queen's House. Your pace is yours to set: this private tour is fully customizable, and your guide can adjust the plan on the day to suit your mood and energy.
End the day in style with a private Thames cruise to Westminster, where your driver meets you and returns you to your hotel. The tour runs about seven hours, including lunch.

Discover Maritime London
Take the Tube and explore London’s old docks with your guide, hearing stories of pirates, crime, and the area’s gritty past. Once the world's busiest docks, these former basins and warehouses have been transformed into a striking modern district.
Continue to Greenwich for a walking tour of the old palace and the Royal Observatory. Stand the Prime Meridian astride and learn why it matters. Visit the National Maritime Museum (Greenwich) to see highlights such as Lord Nelson’s Trafalgar coat and the world‑famous ship‑in‑a‑bottle. Step inside the Painted Hall — a breathtaking 40,000‑sq‑ft masterpiece often called the finest dining hall in the western world.
Before returning to central London, enjoy lunch at a local pub and see the Cutty Sark and the Queen’s House. You can head back by boat, walk the Thames Tunnel, or take the Tube — the weather may guide your choice. End your day in style with a Private Thames Boat Cruise to Westminster, where your driver will meet you and whisk you back to your hotel.
