Tour 3- Shakespeare & Dickens Walking Tour

London held both Shakespeare & Dickens in its thrall. The city was their canvas, inspiration, workshop and raw material. Each in turn made it his own, imaginatively colonizing it with characters bequeathed to us today. Now, despite the ravages of time, bombings, and fire, traces of their London still abound in corners of the city you could never find on your own. Discover the secret locales that were a part of their world.

2 Hours - 150 GBP (1 - 8 people)

Tour 4- Literary London Pub Walk

London is a moveable feast - a procession of Georgian squares amid the busy warren of streets. But right in their midst are a couple of the best old pubs in London. Your host - a born raconteur - will stir things up as he tells you about how the literary greats lived, loved, laughed, caroused, quarreled and spun their nimble words. Learn how London touched the lives of Oscar Wilde, G. Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, W. B. Yeats and T. S. Eliot.

2.5 Hours - 150 GBP (1- 8 people)

Tour 5- Jack the Ripper Walk

Begin your Jack the Ripper Walk at Tower Hill, right on the boundary between Scotland Yard territory and the City of London Police territory. It was this conflict of jurisdiction that hampered the investigation and made it easier for the Ripper to slip through police nets. You'll enter the pub where one of the Ripper's victims drank and enjoy the speculation that continues to this day about the Ripper's identity. The walk ends at the site of the last ghastly murder.

2 Hours - 150 GBP (1 - 8 people)

Tour 6- London Tour with Thames Cruise

You begin as London began - with the River Thames. This silvery lifeline, main highway, and chief processional route is London's Grand Canal. You'll cruise from the Tower Bridge to the Westminster Bridge carried along by the same current that cradled Kings and Queens on golden state barges past St.Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare's theaters. Once ashore you'll see the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St. James's Park, Whitehall, Buckingham and St. James's Palaces, the Mall, and Trafalgar Square.

2.5 Hours - 150 GBP (1 - 8 people) Boat cruise fees- £ 4.00 per person
