The London Eye

One could spend months walking through the streets of London and still not see the whole city. But thanks to the London Eye, visitors can now have a bird’s-eye view of London’s skyline. And by riding in one of its 32 capsules (乘坐舱), visitors can see up to a distance of 40 kilometers, or even as far as Windsor Castle (on a sunny day, of course).

Inside the capsules, you can use the touch screen devices to read more information on the different buildings and landmarks you’ll be able to see during your visit. Also included in your ticket is the London Eye 4D Cinema Experience, where visitors can watch a four-minute video to see the London Eye in 4D in its special theatre.

The London Eye is open every day (except Christmas). However, opening and closing times change depending on the time of the year you visit. So you’d better check out the London Eye’s official website before you visit.

There are Saver Tickets (priced at £21.20 per adult), but if you want to avoid the long lines, it may be a good idea to buy a Fast Track ticket which is priced at £28 for an adult. It is highly suggested that you buy these tickets from the official website and save 10% on the total ticket costs.

Buckingham Palace Tour

Watching the traditional changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace is a must when in London, and on this 4.5-hour you’ll get to experience this event, as well as other typical British traditions. The package combines three major attractions: the changing of the guard, a tour of the State Apartments and traditional afternoon tea. The guided tour passes through St. James Park before stopping to watch the guard ceremony with soldiers dressed in traditional uniforms, followed by entry into Buckingham Palace for an audio tour. After, travelers will head to a luxury hotel for traditional afternoon tea, scones and sandwiches.

Thames River Sightseeing Cruise

Afternoon tea is a British tradition, and to make this casual, elegant experience even more relaxing, you can combine it with a sightseeing cruise of London’s Thames River, the main waterway that flows through the heart of the city. Board a window-lined vessel for an hour-and-a-half voyage from Tower Pier to Westminster that includes traditional tea service with pastries, scones and sandwiches. The boat will float past iconic sites like the Tower of London, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, as well as Shakespeare’s famous Globe Theatre. On the return, feel free to wander the outside deck for photos and listen to informative commentary from the staff.

London Royal Parks Bike Tour

London has some spectacular parks that are located among the city’s most famous attractions and a guided bike tour is a fun and relaxing way to cover a lot of ground quickly and experience these lovely public spaces. The four-hour, morning or afternoon bike tour begins in Central London where bicycles and helmets are issued, followed by a leisurely ride through Westminster to the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben with narration from the tour guide followed by busy Trafalgar Square. Next, the ride heads to all four Royal Parks: Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park and St James’s Park. Before returning to the start, riders can visit the Princess Diana Memorial at Kensington Palace.
