St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, is an iconic masterpiece of English Baroque architecture. Completed in 1710, its majestic dome dominates the city's skyline. The cathedral serves as a symbol of resilience, notably surviving the Blitz during World War II. Rich in history, it has hosted royal weddings, state funerals, and jubilees. Inside, stunning mosaics, the Whispering Gallery, and its crypt inspire awe and reflection.
Big Ben
Big Ben, the iconic clock tower in London, is a symbol of British culture and history. Officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, it stands adjacent to the Houses of Parliament and was completed in 1859. Its massive clock faces and resounding chimes, especially the hourly "bong," are renowned worldwide. Restored in recent years, Big Ben combines Gothic Revival architecture with intricate craftsmanship, making it a timeless landmark and a beacon of tradition.

You will see all the sights with a very knowledgeable guide. Make sure you are fit and have comfortable sneakers because you will walk about 5 miles! If you have limited time in London I would highly recommend this tour.
