Excursions in London
The most popular type of excursion is by far individual excursions with a guide in London in Russian. Having arrived in London, each of you, of course, wants to start getting acquainted with London with a sightseeing tour. It can be either on foot or by car, for 4 or 8 hours.
If you are comfortable with your budget, then the ideal option for your first excursion is a sightseeing tour of London by car for the whole day. In this case, we will pick you up at your hotel at a time convenient for you, usually from 09:00 to 11:00, and show you all the main attractions of London. And we will return you to your hotel 8 hours after the start of the excursion.
If you want to reduce your costs for a sightseeing tour, then it can either be half a car, that is, the guide will be with you for 8 hours, and the car will be only 4. Or completely pedestrian. It may not be comfortable here in case of rain and you will not see some of the attractions. Even cheaper would be a half-day walking tour or, the most economical option, a 2-hour group walking tour. Group excursions We run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 10:00 to 12:00. We also offer group bus excursions around London for tourists from cruise ships sailing to Southampton, Dover or Harwich.

A visit to Westminster Abbey usually takes from 1.5 to 3 hours. Guides with a Blue Badge license are permitted to conduct tours inside the Abbey. With our guides, you go to a separate entrance bypassing the queue.
Excursion to Tower Castle
Visit to Tower Castle is busy about 2 hours. This is one of the few places where it is impossible to avoid the queue. With our guides, you buy tickets at a separate ticket office and enter the castle itself quickly enough, but there will be a queue at the Royal Treasury.
Excursion to the National Gallery
Entry to the National Gallery is free. For this reason, there is no queue to enter and it takes on average 2 hours to view the gallery’s masterpieces. At the galleries, we provide you with specialized guides - art historians. Or, if you need an easy option, we can do it in 30 minutes.
Excursion to the British Museum
An excursion to the British Museum, in our opinion, is absolutely impossible without a guide. The museum has about 8 million exhibits. Our guides will present you with the British Museum in a very easy and fun way. Even children will find it interesting. The tour lasts 2.5 hours.
Excursion to the Cathedral
St Paul's Cathedral is the main church in London and the country. The excursion to the cathedral will take 1.5 hours if you do not walk to the dome of the Cathedral or 2.5 hours if you decide to climb more than 500 steps. With our guide you go without a queue, but after the security check.

An excursion to the world's largest museum of applied art can take up to 4 hours. Admission is free and there are no queues.
Excursion to the Science Museum
The science museum is also free. It takes 4 floors and 1.5 hours of your time. Very interesting and, almost always, combined with the Natural History Museum.
Excursion to the Natural History Museum
Even though admission to the museum is free, there is almost always a line that even our licensed guides cannot get around. We will try to plan a visit to the museum outside of rush hour. The inspection will take about 2 hours.
All this takes, on average, 4 days.
In the process of visiting the above attractions, usually starting from the third or fourth excursion day, we will offer you outbound excursions from London.

The excursion, including travel and lunch, takes about 6 hours.
Excursion to Stratford on Avon and Warwick Castle

You sit in the car for about 7 hours. Nevertheless, if you are interested in Shakespeare and have visited all the above-mentioned excursions, then you need to go here.
You can also go to Longleat, this is a safari park.
