Stop 1

We will finish this visit with the last stop at the London Eye, where if you want to get up you can enjoy some of the best views from the heights of London.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is often called the Millennium Wheel because it was built to celebrate 2000 years since the birth of Jesus Christ. The London Eye is 443 feet tall, weighs 28.5 tonnes and has a diameter of 394 metres. Its 32 capsules can carry up to 14 people each and it takes 25 minutes to complete one revolution.

We can also see the famous Tower Bridge. Very close to this monument is the Tower of London where our guide will explain almost 1000 years of history and we can meet the beefeaters who were the guard guarding the tower.

Tower Bridge is the iconic, yet enigmatic Victorian bridge that bisects the River Thames. Built both as a gateway to the developing East End and a tourist destination in its own right, it is a masterpiece of Victorian engineering and one of the most recognizable bridges in the world.
