Tour description

Are you visiting London and not coming to see the oldest area from where the city was founded?


Come with us to see the main sights of the City of London and the River.


On the City of London and the River (Southbank) free tour tour, apart from exploring the oldest part of the city, we will also see many of the city's most modern and sophisticated buildings


You will get to learn about how this area was affected by plague, fire and the London Blitz during the Second World War, and why this is now, one of the most modern and important areas of London. 


However, our route goes one step further and dares to explore the other side of the River Thames (Southbank). Visiting places like the Tate Modern, and its collection of modern art, the Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare developed his plays and other places like the Southwark Cathedral, the English galleon the Golden Hind or the Clink Prison, let yourself be surprised and get involved by the incredible history of the place. 


To finish the tour, we will end the tour at the Tower of London, with its spooky and interesting stories and the Tower Bridge, always surprising and majestic for the visitor.


This tour is perfect whether you've just arrived in London or you've been here for a few days, it's not to be missed!
