Start this hair raising tour with a journey aboard our vintage open top bus through the dark and haunted streets of London. Listen to the tales of the legends buried at Westminster Abbey and see the banqueting house where Charles I was beheaded, a relatively common punishment for crime at the time. Your expert guide will explain how the executioners, who worked regularly in front of large crowds at Tower Hill which we will also see, would often raise the severed head showing it off to the crowd and that would often continue to twitch for several seconds after the brutal blows. We then travel to the Old Bailey - the site of numerous public hangings, the Royal London Hospital where the Elephant Man lived, and hear tales of Mrs Lovett’s pie shop with her speciality fillings, the butcherous barber who lived next door and who would cut off more than just your hair; gangland warfare, great train robbers and more.

Stay close to our guide as the tour takes us to the deserted Smithfield market and the surrounding cobbled streets. You’ll see the William Wallace plaque where Braveheart was tortured, and learn of the 19th century body snatchers who dug up local cemeteries ‘in the interests of science.’ Two of the most famous snatchers, John Bishop and Thomas Williams, were hanged at Newgate prison in front of several thousand boisterous Londoners. Then listen out for the scratching sounds of Fanny Lynes, the Cock Lane ghost, and hear her true story of death, sex, loan sharking, arsenic poisoning and séances. It all took place 250 years ago and has troubled the nation ever since.

As the shadows lengthen, we approach London's East End, a hotbed of crime and vice in the 19th century. During the autumn of 1888, terror struck when Jack the Ripper came out of the fog and dimly lit alleys just long enough to stalk and butcher his five victims. At this point we leave the safety of the bus and walk his death trail inspecting the murder sites, deciphering the evidence and discussing his suspects. To this day the case remains unsolved. Come and investigate the case for yourself - who was Jack the Ripper?

Fancy a nightcap? Then join us in the warmth of the Sherlock Holmes Pub. The pub also boasts a wide collection of the investigators memorabilia. Feeling hungry? The pub also has a wide variety of meals including a traditional fish and chip supper on offer which can be purchased from the bar. The tour ends at the Sherlock Holmes pub which is situated close to Trafalgar Square.

Enjoy a selection of craft beers at our first stop, and discover how this venue has embraced the craft beer renaissance.

Highlights
●Learn the correct way to 'taste' beer and discover why the flavors of beer are often just as complex as those of wine.
● Meet the staff at a micro-brewery, sample a selection of beers straight from the tank, and learn about the brewing process as well as this venue's unique approach to sustainability.
● Enjoy a cheeky drink in our fabulous secret venue!
● Navigate between the historic City of London and the vibrant, Hipster streets of Shoreditch (with a touch of history thrown in), as we continue to our final venue.
● Relax and enjoy the great atmosphere and intriguing interior of a traditional, historic pub, hidden away in the backstreets.
● Indulge in a grand total of 7 different tasty beers throughout the tour.

Discover all the darkest secrets of the area of Westminster, one of the most interesting parts of London.

Highlights
- Entry to the fascinating Churchill War Rooms and Museum
- Step back in time and learn all about the people behind the war effort and wartime London
- Listen to Churchill’s famous speeches

Begin by walking by some of London’s most famous sites, such as 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Visit the intriguing Cenotaph, originally a memorial for the First World War and now the UK’s main war memorial. You will even set eyes upon some iconic statues: that of Sir Winston Churchill and that of the women of WWII.

Westminster was one of the most affected areas during the bombings of WWII, and with good reason: it was home to the undercover and underground base of a complicated secret world of governments in exile, overseas forces, spies and counterspies. Here was located the bunker in which Winston Churchill and his government hid during the blitz of London. Delve into the Churchill War Museum and the war rooms to learn all about London’s darkest hour.

As you descend into the wartime bunker of the Churchill War Rooms, you will feel as if you are walking into the past. Feel as if you are reliving the terrifying moments politicians lived while they planned and plotted about the future of Europe in these claustrophobic rooms.

Here, your guide will salute you as your experience concludes with an audio guide tour of the War Rooms, preserved exactly as they were left the day the lights were switched off in 1945! Here, the thick walls teem with history. This was the nerve centre of Prime Minister Churchill’s war efforts, where he and the British cabinet planned and prepared the defeat of Hitler.

As you go deeper into the labyrinth of rooms, you’ll discover how life and work continued underground, from top-secret conversations between Churchill and President Roosevelt in the Transatlantic Telephone Room to simple domestic concerns in Churchill’s kitchen. Wander for as long as you like before making your way out in your own time.

Three is a magic number in London with this whistle-stop tour taking in three of the best activities in just over three hours.

Highlights
- Witness a quintessential British tradition at Buckingham Palace
- Admire the stunning St Paul’s Cathedral
- Take in the sights and sounds of London with a bus tour

Begin with a panoramic bus tour of the capital, visit the stunning St Paul’s Cathedral and end on a high at Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard.

The panoramic tour explores the main cultural and historic sights of the West End and the City, with a special photo stop at the wonderful Westminster Abbey; the final resting place of many monarchs and famous figures such as Geoffrey Chaucer and Isaac Newton as well as the Unknown Soldier.

Towering high above the concrete and glass of the City, the baroque beauty of St Paul’s Cathedral is a majestic reminder of old London. Enter the Quire and marvel at the beautiful mosaics inside (On Sundays, due to Church services, there is no guiding inside).

The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is one of those quintessentially British events that are known the world over. A mass of red tunics and those iconic bearskins make for one of the ultimate London scenes. This tradition dates back to 1660, when the monarchy had been restored after Cromwell’s dictatorship ended. It is an awe-inspiring ceremony endowed with the pageantry that the English are so renowned for. The tour visits the Horse Guards Parade when Changing of the Guard is unavailable.

If you buy the option with Cruise get to experience a fresh and airy side to London and its numerous attractions with our River Thames boat cruise which goes from Tower Pier towards Embankment Pier so you’ll be able to see Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, Tate Modern and the London Eye amongst others.
