In the afternoon, meet your guide in central London and set off on an entertaining walking tour of Old City. Begin with a short history of Covent Garden, a colorful area that was once London’s most active red-light district. Then stroll along cobbled alleyways as you hear the stories of Old London, passing famed London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
Continue on to St. Paul’s Cathedral, London’s highest point for much of the city's long history. Rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, St. Paul's has hosted many national events including the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer. As you stroll through London's oldest district, learn more about catastrophic events like the Great Fire that reshaped the city and the plague that killed a third of London’s population.

Conclude your tour with a stop at the Tower of London. Learn how this 11th-century stronghold of William the Conqueror became a palace, prison, and gruesome execution place, and hear tales of prisoners like Anne Boleyn—Henry VIII's unfortunate second wife—who met her end there in 1536.
Your tour ends at the Tower in the evening.
