The ultimate way to experience the wonders of St Paul’s Cathedral. We provide skip-the-line tickets so you can bypass the crowds and spend more valuable time exploring the cathedral’s exteriors and interiors. This 17th-century church is one of the greatest examples of English Baroque, but also a treasure trove of British history and culture. Your Private Guide will help you uncover its story, from the construction of the original church on this site in 609 AD, through its rebuilding after the Great Fire of London, to the 2019 terrorist plot to attack the cathedral.

Stop 3

London is huge and difficult to navigate, so this is the easiest and most convenient way to join this tour. We will organize a private driver and car to pick you up directly from your London accommodation so you do not have to worry about getting lost.

Take advantage of a pickup and drop-off service directly at your accommodation and enjoy sightseeing London from your seat!

Follow your Expert Guide along the Thames river embankment and hear the disturbing origin story of the “London Bridge is Falling Down” nursery rhyme and other interesting facts and urban legends, such as the one about Jack the Ripper.

Stop 6

At St Paul’s Cathedral and enjoy a walking tour of the City of London. See historic buildings and monuments, such as the elegant Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London, and the Monument to the Great Fire of London, which is the tallest freestanding stone column in the world.
