Top 4 London Sightseeing Tours for 2012 | United Kingdom
In 2012 it is estimated that there will be over 10 million tourists to the UK and this could be vastly higher with the Olympics coming to London. With the help of one of the leading UK Sightseeing Tour Companies we have compiled a list of the top 4 London Sightseeing Tours voted by the number of customers booked on the tours. Of course we need to remember that there is a lot more to the UK than London and that there are tours from London across the UK to places such as Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath but for those who just wish to see London the 4 most popular tours are below.

1) Original London Tour Company
This is the hop on hop off London Bus Tour that you will see going around London town all day every day (except Christmas). The buses run the same route every day and the tour lasts approximately two hours but you can jump off whenever you want and then hop back on again later in the day. Your ticket lasts for 24 hours so you have no rush. This is an ideal way to see London on a budget and with minimal fuss.
2) Jack the Ripper Tour
Follow the path that Jack The Ripper took across Whitechapel and hear the harrowing stories of how he picked his victims and how he viciously murdered them. This is definitely a tour you will want to take before you have eaten and is not recommended for those under twelve years old.
3) Buckingham Palace Tour
Se this magnificent palace in all its glory, the current residence of the Queen of England it is located right in the heart of London and is a wonderful symbol of Britain. Of course with 2012 being the Jubilee Year we have the Queens diamonds on display – these diamonds have been used by Her Royal Highness the Queen and her ancestors for the last 200 years also. This exhibition also includes a number of The Queen’s personal jewels – and those handed down to Her Majesty or those given to her during her time as Queen of England. It really is a fantastic collection of the most stunning jewels you may ever see.
4) The London Eye
The London Eye is over 135 metres tall and this makes it one of the worlds tallest big wheels! You can see all across London on it and its truly a magnificent place to see London. A full circulation takes approx 25 minutes and we would recommend seeing it at both night and day to get the different perspectives of London. It really is something that should not be missed.
The top 4 tours was compiled by Fiona Spelling a writer for Sightseeing Tours London who offer great value London and UK Tours including full day tours to Stonehenge.
