Whether it’s taking one of the many guided tours, exploring on your own, there are so many different fantastic adventures in London, it is sure to be fun for the whole family. You will have a hard time being bored with so many different presentations, and you may not experience everything in one shot. If you are booking a travel package to London, the it would be a good idea to see what sights are included in the price, and ask if there is anything else that can be included for a nominal fee.

Many times you will find guided tours that take less than a day and are well worth it. When booking ahead, you will avoid the large crowd, and long lines that are usually associated with many world famous sites, like Buckingham Palace, London Tower and so many others. Booking these tours also not only provides an opportunity to skip the masses altogether, but many offer areas that are not even made available to the general public. With so many different ones to choose from, you will be sure to find something that fulfills the curiosity of every member of your family.

The other advantages of these tours are that you have a knowledgeable guide walking you through every step, and often provides information about an attraction or building that wouldn’t normally be provided on your own. Everything is included with the exception of some meals, entry fees, boat tickets, etc. so you are saving money and time. Since many of these are less than one day, you can get in a tour and still be able to visit other offerings on your own. Spend the day touring old castles and cathedrals by day, and then go out for a night on the town later on. Shorter ones are an average of just three hours, so you may be able to fit more than one in a day.

Another must see attraction that can be included in your travel package is London’s famous subway system, called the Tube, by the locals. With its extensive rail system, you can find yourself at many well know destinations much faster and less stressful than renting an automobile. If you want you could even travel to France this way, using the channel tube.

Some of these tours include visits to famous castles and palaces, including Windsor, Buckingham, and the Kensington Palace. A full day general guided tour that includes more famous sites like London Tower, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and even a boat ride down the River Thames. There are private walking tours of London’s East End, as well as a visit to London’s darker side, with a trip through the LONDON, DUNGEON!!!

Everything on this tour is based on actual events. You will see things like where Jack the Ripper performed his grisly deeds, or where the Great Fire of London occurred. With the many live performers, shows and interactive effects, you will feel like part of this dark world.
