Practically everyone’s read the book, lots of us have seen the film – and this summer thousands of visitors to London will be looking for the city’s landmarks that form a key part of the plot of The Da Vinci Code.

Now they can do it in comfort, and view everything from the open top of a luxury double-decker bus, thanks to a unique new Da Vinci Code route from ‘The Original Tour’.
