Buckingham Palace & Westminster Tour with Thames Cruise

Explore London on a small-group guided walk and river cruise, with a self-guided visit to The Shard. Take in Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey as you pass through Westminster, rather than touring their interiors, and enjoy a different perspective on the city from the water and above.

Itinerary
