Panoramic tour of London
Our day begins with a drive past many of London's famous monuments - the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Downing Street, the official London residence of the British Prime Minister, Trafalgar Square with the statue of Lord Nelson, Pall Mall and much more.
Westminster Abbey
We will make a photo stop at this magnificent Gothic building that has been the site of every coronation since 1066 and is also the final resting place of many Kings and Queens of England, as well as famous people including Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Dickens and Sir Isaac Newton.
Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard
We alight at Buckingham Palace, to witness the Queen's Foot Guard in their red tunics and bearskins marching to the accompaniment of a military band- a colourful spectacle. (Or we will visit Horseguards Parade when this ceremony not available).
Avebury
Voted Britain's third most spiritual site, Avebury is one of Europe's largest prehistoric stone circles and a World Heritage site. You can walk right up to the stones and touch them! Many of the stones were re-erected in the 1930's by the archaeologist Alexander Keller who uncovered the true wonder of one of the most important megalithic monuments in Europe.
Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago these 40-ton rocks were dragged to the lonely windy plain of Salisbury Hill, and their secrets continue to tantalise and intrigue scholars and visitors to this day. Some say that Stonehenge was a religious temple, others that it was an astronomical clock, or a Bronze Age burial ground.
We will return to London around 6.30pm.
