Coca-Cola London Eye

Roll up roll up come and enjoy spinning on the Coca-Cola London Eye and see London from high up.

Any day any week an amazing panoramic view of all the main attractions you need to see.

The Spin takes about 25 mins but is well worth it.

As a result of its popularity with tourists I would certainly come early.

Hampton Court

Visit the original Tudor palace which was started by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 16th century. Most importantly it soon attracted the attention of Henry VIII, who brought all his six wives here.

When William III and Mary II (1689-1702) took the throne in 1689, they commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to build an elegant new baroque palace.

Hampton Court was conveniently down the river from the Tower of London and was used as a daily commute for the royal house hold.

Washington Irish RFC Tour To England & Wales Testimonial

I would just like to say what a seamless, fun and perfect experience!

Our tour guides did such a great job keeping everyone on time and smiling. Not one detail was missed and we all appreciated being in their hands.

As the team’s coach, it was such a relief not to have to worry about travel details especially when I had a game to plan.

It was a pleasure working with Irish Rugby Tours. We look forward to working with you on our next overseas tour. I would thoroughly recommend Irish Rugby Tours to anyone looking to travel overseas.
