Custom Tours London Visitors Can't Stop Talking About

By Mary Wilson


If you have never had the opportunity to visit England, you have missed one of the most beautiful, interesting, and historic countries in the world. Everywhere you look there are castles and keeps dating back hundreds of years. The landscape is lush, and most of its cities are kept in pristine condition. If you are planning to visit the United Kingdom for the first time, you should consider the custom tours London visitors always rave about.

If you are a first time visitor, you can get a great general sense of the city by taking one of several popular excursions touring companies offer. You will be first in line in the morning to take a walk through Christopher Wren's masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral. From there you will travel to Westminster Abbey for a photo opportunity. Next comes the Queen's home, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guards.

The ravens will greet you at the infamous Tower of London, the last home of Anne Boleyn and the Princes in the Tower. This is where the Crown Jewels are kept, and you will have a chance to view them on your way to the White Tower. A leisurely boat ride down the Thames will give you spectacular views of this city. Finally it is time to fly up and away on the London Eye, the highest observation wheel on the planet.

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.

A walk through Smithfield Market is next, and you can have a chance to view the spot where Braveheart was tortured. No tour of this kind would be complete without walking through the alleys where Jack the Ripper murderously ended the lives of eleven prostitutes. This should make you thirsty enough to enjoy a pint at the Sherlock Holmes pub at the end of your evening.

Children and adults of all ages are huge fans of the most famous wizard of all, and a tour of the making of Harry Potter at the Warner Brothers Studio is something not to be missed. You will get to walk through the sets, view original costumes and props, and get the inside story about those amazing special effects and animatronics.

During your time here you'll visit the Great Hall, see Dumbledore's private office, and walk down Diagon Alley to visit the shops where Harry and his friends picked out their favorite wands and brooms. The train station and Platform 9 3/4 has been expanded and the Forbidden Forest is now open for visitors to step into.

No matter what your tastes and interests, you'll find a tour to enjoy. In this magical city, the possibilities are endless. England's capital is like no other place on the planet.
