This full-day option pairs a London driving tour with an afternoon interior visit to the British Museum, led throughout by a licensed Blue Badge guide.
After pickup at your hotel, the day begins with a driving tour of London's top landmarks with photo stops, covering Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, the Tower of London, the Globe Theatre, Tower Bridge, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. The number of sites seen depends on your interests and traffic conditions.
A free lunch break follows the driving tour (meal not included), and your guide is happy to recommend a traditional British pub nearby.
In the afternoon, you visit the British Museum, one of the most visited museums in the world. Founded in 1753 around the personal collection of physician and naturalist Sir Hans Sloane, it was the first free national public museum anywhere in the world. Its collection has grown to more than 8 million objects spanning human history from the beginning of the British Empire's global reach, so seeing everything in an afternoon is not possible. Highlights typically include the Egyptian and Greek galleries, home to the Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799 and key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, and the Parthenon Sculptures, removed from the Acropolis in Athens in the early 1800s and still a subject of ongoing debate between Britain and Greece over their permanent home.
