Immersive Tour on The Thames Sailing Barge, Lunch and Entry to The Shard with Champagne for Two
About this experience
See London from two very different viewpoints with this Immersive Tour on the Thames Sailing Barge for two, including a riverside lunch and entry to The Shard.
Begin the day with a visit to the Tower Bridge Experience before climbing onboard ‘Will’, a historic and rare sailing barge. See some of the capital’s most notorious sights cruising past the O2 Arena, Royal Naval College, Cutty Sark and so much more. Enjoy an onboard lunch with tea and coffee, whilst the crew entertain you with historic tales. You’ll see a rare sight of London Bridge’s 1,000 ton bascules lifting as your barge sails through for a truly unique once-in-a-lifetime experience.
You’ll be whisked up to level 72 of the Shard for unforgettable views of London. You’ll get a unique insight behind the making of this building, as a well of a view of London’s skyline as it was 100 years ago and a glimpse of what it will look like 50 years from now. Toast to your wonderful experience with a celebratory glass of fizz.
