Want to do London at your own pace? Take time to explore London before or after your Contiki tour. With this 3 day package at the Royal National or Imperial hotels, grab a great value collection of extras, activities & accommodation. The London Explorer package is a bit different from our other tours, as it does not include a Tour Manager. Instead, we give you all the info you need to squeeze the max out of the city & to do it on your terms. With your included London info booklet, hit the streets & dive into the buzz – there are so many things to see, do & experience in London. From the iconic Big Ben to the Houses of Parliament & Buckingham Palace, there are photo opportunities at every corner. An included bus sightseeing ticket is a great way to experience the city from a different angle as you ride past the sights. With an open top, it’s the best way to get some great views. It’s also a hop on hop off tour, so you can enjoy the sites at your own pace. Stop off in between, maybe visit a museum, take a walking tour or just take in the vibes. London is famous for it’s shopping, with the streets of the central city providing a haven for shopaholics. Head to Knightsbridge for a look into the most famous department store in the world, Harrods. Check out the array of delicious food on offer in their enticing foodhalls & amazing displays, then maybe head to Oxford Street for some high street shopping & big name brands. While you’re in the area, drop by the quirky Carnaby Street where you might see some street performers or grab a coffee & take in the atmosphere. For a historical fix, jump on the Tube & maybe make your way to the Tower of London. Take a guided tour with one of the Yeoman Warders around one of the most famous fortified buildings in the world. You could also try the British Museum, National Gallery, the Tate or jump on the London Eye for amazing city views. Seeing a famous West End musical whilst you’re here is a must-do & with an included ticket to a show, you will. From the dancing sensation ‘Billy Elliot’ to rocking it out to Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ there is something for everyone. There’s always something going on here, so make sure that you ask at the Contiki Basement for some other tips on must see sights & things to do.
