You Can Choose From Among The Many Custom Tours London Visitors Love

By Mary Wilson


Visiting England should be on the wish list for everyone who loves to travel. It is brimming with ancient histories, wars, royalty, and international intrigue. The thatched cottages look like pictures in a children's storybook. If you have plans to visit the capital for the first time or the fiftieth, it might be a good idea to sign up for the custom tours London visitors raves 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.

After lunch you will tour the Tower of London, the place where Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, lost her head, and Richard III had the Princes imprisoned. The Crown Jewels are here. You may not have the chance to try them on, but you can get a glimpse at what the Queen has to choose from. After a leisurely trip down the Thames River, it is on to the London Eye. You will take a flight on the highest observation wheel in existence before you end your day.

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.

The Great Hall and Dumbledore's private office are open to visitors, and a new and improved train station now gives everyone a chance to stand on Platform 9 3/4. You can purchase your own Quidditch broom and wizarding wand at the shops along Diagon Alley and use them for protection as you enter the Forbidden Forest.

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.
