London guided tour

This guided tour will take in the majority of London’s classic sights. Our audio tour through the heart of London starts at Westminster with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, while County Hall sites cross the river. The audio commentary will explain the background behind such famous as the Millennium Wheel - British Airways' London Eye. In a half-hour ride it offers incomparable vistas of London’s skyline. After passing the South Bank complex, the Tate Modern, and Shakespeare's Globe, our audio guided tour offers a magnificent view of St Paul's Cathedral . Then we come to some of London’s most famous tourist sights - the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the HMS Belfast.

Using GPS technology our audio commentary explains the history of Tower Bridge as we sail underneath it. We then continue on to Docklands and then to historic Greenwich, the home of time itself. As the audio commentary of our London guided tour explains, the Naval College and Seamen's Hospital have taken on a new role as the main campus of Greenwich University and Trinity College of Music. Here you will find the National Maritime Museum, with its Neptune Court and galleries, the historic clipper ship Cutty Sark, the Old Royal Observatory, Queen's House, Fan Museum, a traditional covered market and many more attractions which make up the World Heritage Site of Greenwich.

River Red Rover

Our sightseeing tours can provide even more value when you purchase one of our River Red Rover tickets. With one of these you'll be able to hop on and off the boat at any of its stops, all day long, as well as travel on the Docklands Light Railway.

A typical guided tour of London will normally take you by bus or train, but our own tour offers a more relaxed way to travel - cruising sedately on the River Thames, the heart of London. There's no traffic, no distracting noise - nothing to get in the way of your enjoyment. Our audio commentary (available in five languages) will give you a wealth of background information and fascinating snippets and insights that it would not be possible to learn travelling independently. There are a number of different methods for seeing the sights of the capital and learning some its rich and varied history, but none rivals a City Cruises guided tour for comfort, relaxation, beautiful views and for providing some of the most in-depth background possible, via multi-lingual explanations of London’s most famous sights.

Whether you need a guided tour in French, Spanish, Japanese, German or English, our Thames audio commentary offers a unique taste of the capital.
