Experience the Hallowed St. Paul’s Cathedral

One of the most recognizable features of the London skyline, St. Paul’s Cathedral has survived three-hundred years of turbulent British history, including the two World Wars, enduring on as a true symbol of English resilience. Designed by the great architect Sir Christopher Wren, the Cathedral was built to replace the old St. Paul’s which had burned down in the Great London fire. Step under the awe-inspiring dome of the cathedral and explore its vast collections of stunning paintings stored at the Golden Gallery, as well as its haunting crypts that house the remains of Lord Nelson. All the while, your expert guide will relate to you the history, facts, and anecdotes about this London treasure.

After St. Paul’s Cathedral, the tour arrives at the entrance to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen’s Foot Guard will march to the palace alongside a military band, all dressed in snazzy red outfits and bearskin hats.
