Your Adventure
- Arrive in London Meet your tour director, board your coach and check into your hotel.
- London city walk Take a walk with your tour director to take in the sights on London including Thames Rives, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, Picadilly Circus, Convent Gardens, Leicester Square, and Soho.
- National History Museum visit Come face to face with a life-size blue whale. And see what happens below earthquakes and volcanoes before eruptions. Plus unearth vast collections of insects, plants and extinct species inside the Darwin Centre. You’ll also see world-leading scientists in action through a one-of-a-kind Cocoon experience.
- London guided sightseeing tour Join a local guide for an in-depth look at London, from the royal haunt of Buckingham Palace (the official London residence of Queen Elizabeth II) to the slightly more democratic Speakers’ Corner of Hyde Park, where anyone can pull up a soapbox and orate to his heart’s content. You’ll see the changing of the guard (season permitting), the clock tower of Big Ben with its 14-tonne bell, and Westminster Abbey, where almost every English king and queen since William the Conqueror has been crowned. After a stop at the Houses of Parliament, continue on to the magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral, the masterpiece of London architect Christopher Wren.

Enjoy some free time in one of London's greenest areas.
- Classic fish and chips dinner Nothing's more British than fish and chips - there are eight fish and chips shops ("chippies") for every McDonald's in the county. Head to an authentic pub with your Tour Director for a taste of this national food, generally served with malt vinegar.

However, it is best known for the University of Cambridge, which was founded in 1209 and is home to one of the largest legal deposit libraries in the world.
