London:

Your morning is free to further explore London. In the early afternoon, make your way to the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich, using the Underground, the Docklands Light Railway, or a river ferry from Westminster Pier. Meet your tour guide at 1:30 pm at the Sir Walter Raleigh Statue, located just outside the Royal Naval College. Here you'll begin a 3-hour walking tour of Greenwich—visiting the Greenwich Market to sample some of the international food on offer. Then visit several cafés and eateries known only to locals, as you explore the secret side of Greenwich's food world. Along the way you'll gain historical and cultural knowledge of the area from your guide. At the end of the tour you'll have time to continue to explore historic Greenwich.

London:

Today you'll explore one of the oldest parts of London by taking a 4-hour guided tour of the London Docklands. Use your Oyster Card to get yourself to the Rotherhithe Tube Station in East London, where the tour begins. You'll visit some historic pubs that used to be hangouts for sailors, pirates, and even thieves. Today this former bustling port is a quiet residential area with cobblestone streets and old warehouses with breathtaking views of the Thames River. You'll sample local craft brews, ciders, and pub food, as this tour takes you back in time. You'll finish near the Tower of London, and you have the rest of the day to explore on your own.

London to Cornwall

Today you'll have a private car transfer to Cornwall in Southwest England. Along the way, stop at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire to visit the Bombay Sapphire Distillery. First up is a self-guided tour with an interactive map, followed by a 15-minute guided tour of the still house, and concluding with a complementary drink at the mill bar. Then continue on to Cornwall to your next hotel.

(Breakfast, London; Accommodations, Cornwall)

Cornwall:

This morning you'll head to Plymouth Harbor to begin a 3½ hour Catch & Cook Fishing Trip. You'll head out to sea to fish for mackerel; once you've caught a sufficient number, the boat will head for a nearby reef or shipwreck, where you'll fish for other species such as herring, whiting, cod, and pollock. After your fishing excursion, you can relax and have your catch prepared, cooked, and served to you at The Boathouse Café, along with bread, fries, and salad.

(Breakfast, Lunch on Tour, & Accommodations, Cornwall)

Cornwall:

This morning, travel to St. Austell for a Tour of St. Austell Brewery. A "beer ambassador" will guide you through the brewing process from grain to glass. You'll also sample some of their award-winning beers along the way, concluding with a pint in the brewery's bar. The rest of the day is at leisure for relaxing or further exploration of Cornwall.

(Breakfast & Accommodations, Cornwall)

Cornwall to London:

Today you have a private transfer back to London, with a stop on Salisbury Plain at the mysterious monument of Stonehenge. Stonehenge's ring of standing stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds. Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. One of the most famous landmarks in the UK, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon. Following this visit, continue on to London where your tour ends.
