Golden Tours
Golden Tours is a name one might regularly see in the capital, especially in London's most famous tourist spots. Their distinctive blue open-top sightseeing buses pass through Westminster every day, brimming with tourists wishing to soak up Britain's rich history and heritage. They aim to provide London's tourists with an innovative, all-encompassing experience of the city and of other culturally significant parts of the UK. Despite current levels of economic unrest, Golden Tours reports that the tourism market in London continues to thrive - a fact they attribute to the favourable pound and the wide variety of historical and innovative experiences London offers. Managing Director Mikesh Palan goes into further detail about the company's approach and the conditions under which it operates.
Our hop-on hop-off bus tours are probably the most visual representation of the brand within London, but the breadth of services we provide goes much further and deeper than just this; our luxury day excursions take visitors to destinations across the country, including Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath, Oxford, Canterbury, Liverpool, Cardiff and Edinburgh to name a few.We are also the preferred partner for Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter. We offer day and overnight trips by train to Paris and Brussels as well as providing tickets to all of London's tourist attractions, river cruises, afternoon tea experiences, theatre tickets and everything in between.
A broad range of experiences for a broad range of peopleIt's worth remarking that our company is more than just a useful and efficient service for customers. London is an ever-changing multicultural city and we offer a truly British experience, showcasing some of the country's most famous locations, all while bringing people together. Indeed, tourism is the only business that actively brings cultures together - and it is through experiencing other cultures we come to understand one another. At the core of our open top tours and luxury day excursions are our tour guides; many have gone through years of training and hold the coveted Blue Badge - the top of the tour guide hierarchy. These guides don't just narrate facts: they tell stories, interweave the British culture, engage customers in a way that cannot be done online and - above all - transform the journey into a long-lasting experience. This is something that our guides never lose sight of. The reason our day trips are so valued is because it is often difficult for tourists to plan a perfect journey in a country they are not familiar with and often whose language they do not speak. By using our services, tourists are granted an easy and stress-free opportunity to experience the UK's most famous sites. Our preferred partnerships with Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, English Heritage, The Royal Collection Trust, Merlin Entertainment Group, City Cruises, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Eurostar, GWR and dozens more keep us ahead of the curve, providing us with the ingredients needed to offer an all-inclusive, fully encompassing service to our visitors.When we began in this industry in 1984, we were entering into unchartered territory. Since then the landscape has completely changed and we continue to adapt and innovate to remain at the forefront of our marketplace.
