May or June: This photography tour is not currently in the schedule, but can be added by request

  4 nights/5 inclusive days  |  Maximum of 7 participants, and a minimum of 4 participants

Photography Tour Overview:  This photo tour of London will consist of photo excursions to the city’s icons led by English photographer and guide John Baker. Photography highlights will include the Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, the 'Changing of the Guard' at Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Westminster Abbey, a sunset 'flight' on the London Eye, Lifeguards on horseback and the three River Thames icons of Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge. As with all of our photography tours, early and late shooting is scheduled for each day.
 

London notes: This trip is predominantly a walking tour of London as one doesn't even attempt to drive around this great city! We do however take our time, hop onto the London Tube train to cover the greater distances or to get home, and stop for tea/coffee/photography critique and instruction breaks. Average health is sufficient for this trip.
