Arrive in London, one of the most exciting cities in the world. Our adventure begins right away with a visit to Hampton Court

Palace, one of King Henry VIII’s most favoured residences. Breathe the fresh English air in

the Royal Gardens, step back in time in the Tudor Kitchens and Cellars, meander through

the Baroque and Tudor State Apartments and Great Hall, admire the Royal Art Collection,

and get lost in the famous Maze (the one time you won’t mind getting lost in England). Then,

as we enter London on the way to our hotel, we enjoy a short, guided panoramic city tour

by luxury motor coach, seeing highlights such as the majestic Houses of Parliament, the

thrilling buzz of Piccadilly Circus, the eternal River Thames, and the grandeur of 1,000 years

of architecture. In the evening at our hotel, you’re invited to Simon and Aliza’s Welcome

ravens. From there, we enjoy a panoramic cruise along the Thames River to Greenwich,

where Mark shares with us highlights of historic Greenwich, including the breathtaking

Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College, the statue of famous Canadian General Wolfe,

and time-keeping at the Prime Meridian. We finish our afternoon with a visit to Canary

Wharf, where we see how the West India Docks were transformed (by Toronto’s

Reichmann brothers) to become today’s upscale residential district. Evening at leisure to
