Arriving in London for the first time is a hugely exciting experience. The sounds, the lights and the sights of the city are calling, and it’s hard to know where to begin.
For some people, this can be a little too much. For those that don’t like too much hustle and bustle or shuttling from one sight to the next, some tour options can be a little too intense. That’s why we’ve put together a couple of options to make your sightseeing tour of London a little calmer and stress-free. Staying at the Montcalm Finsbury Square, you’re in a perfect spot to find your own way to London’s most famous sights.
Take to the Water
While seeing London on foot or via tour bus is a great experience, it’s also not for everyone.
If you want to take in the sights but do it in a leisurely, relaxing way, a sightseeing tour on the Thames could be the perfect solution. City Cruises offers a range of tours and options, whether you want to see London by day or night, and they even provide the option of evening dinner on the Thames.
As for sightseeing, a City Cruise is one of the best ways to construct your day the way you want it to be. With a day ticket, for example, you can ride along the Thames for as long as you please but, importantly, hop off at different destinations. Say, for example, you want to take a closer look – and perhaps a tour – of the Tower of London. All you do is get off at the right stop, do your thing, and then catch the next City Cruiser to wherever you want. Boats pick up and drop off every thirty minutes, and most are close by to your Montcalm Hotel – how’s that for stress-free?
Get an All-in-One Pass
If you find the idea of sourcing tickets for different tours, attractions and transport stressful, The London Pass might be perfect for you.
The idea of The London Pass is to combine everything you need – travel passes, entry to attractions and famous sights and fast track entry – in one, handy and stress-busting package. Attractions, tours and museums included in The London Pass include the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and many more. All are easy to reach from the Montcalm Brewery Hotel, so you’ve got everything you need to explore at you own pace.
The package also includes a hop-on-hop-off bus tour to make it easy to maximise the use of your pass, as well as an optional Oyster Card for use on London’s Tube system.
There isn’t much The London Pass doesn’t cover, even offering tours and entry to many smaller museums and attractions – all folded into the package, with nothing extra to pay. It’s a great way to see London and offers incredible flexibility, enabling you to see what you want, when you want.
