Along Parliament Street/Whitehall, we see Downing Street and The Cenotaph, reaching Westminster, where we experience Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben up close.
In the “feeling London” part of the tour, we descend to the river from Westminster Bridge and take a boat tour on the Thames; bridges and the riverside skyline look completely different from the water. On the opposite bank, we ride the London Eye and enjoy the city view from above (London Eye and Thames boat tour included). After walking across Jubilee Bridge, we continue to Covent Garden for the final part, where street performers, Apple Market, and cafés offer a short free time before meeting at the designated time and returning to the hotel.

WHY IS LOCAL TRANSPORT PREFERRED IN LONDON?
In a large and historic city like London, using public transportation helps avoid city traffic and time loss, allowing you to visit more places in a shorter time. Tours by metro, train, and bus also let you feel London’s dynamic life firsthand.
With these tours, you not only see tourist attractions, but also travel on the same lines used by Londoners in daily life, experiencing the city not as a tourist but as a “traveler.” In other words, this is not just a transportation choice, but the most natural way to experience London.
Additionally;
The hotel where accommodation will be provided is located in the Heathrow area, and public transportation must be used to reach the city center.
Breakfast at the hotel is included in the accommodation. The breakfast content may vary regionally depending on the hotel’s policy; in European standards, it is generally served in continental style.
A minimum participation of 15 people is required for the optional tours in the program to take place. Please note that if participation falls below this number, the relevant tour may not be operated.
For optional tours, local transportation such as metro, train, bus, and ferry may be used. In this way, time loss caused by traffic is prevented, and you have the opportunity to witness the real life of the city more closely.
