    Our guide was very motivated and showed us the best way through London, which was overcrowded on our weekend! Her explanations were very entertaining and informative, and we were able to put her tips into practice in the days that followed! Many thanks again ... absolutely recommendable!!!

    The guide was very kind and willing However, the experience is very long for children: lots of explanations that are difficult for them to follow.

    The relaxing and instructive aspects of the visit are very much appreciated. We let ourselves be guided through Westminster with pleasant little poses. The guide was diligent, very friendly and naturally conveyed her London culture in French! The discovery of Westminster Abbey was fascinating, and some details would have gone unnoticed without Carole. It's a pity that the tour specifies a visit to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace when it's not possible to enter them in April. The descriptions of these buildings from the outside were very interesting. I'd recommend

    Jeremy was a great guide and we learned so much from him! His pacing was great--not overwhelming, but still imparting a ton of information.

    Your adventure begins in the heart of Westminster. Step into Westminster Abbey, a stunning Gothic cathedral brimming with over 1,000 years of royal history.

You get to pick your style! Join a small group of 15-20 people for an English, German, or French guided tour with an upgraded ticket, or go solo with entry tickets for a self-guided adventure, soaking in the Abbey’s beauty at your own pace.

    After you’ve snapped your pics, you can upgrade your tickets and check out the Changing of the Guard or choose the walking tour if you’re more into soaking in the view. Big Ben’s calling your name, and trust us, its sheer size will leave you in awe! Admire Buckingham Palace’s stunning exterior or catch the Old Guards handing over duties to the New Guards in the Changing of the Guards ceremony.
