It was an amazing trip back in history! The stained glass windows were incredible, not to mention the architecture. A definite must do in London.

The Cathedral is a work of art! Enough said! I booked the tickets through the specific cathedral web site, received electronically and still had to queue up and get that converted to a paper picket! What's the point? I assumed it would be expedited!

I was on a tight schedule and understood that by buying a ticket in advance I could avoid the queue. This was not the case. Otherwise, wonderful and very interesting venue to visit

Ladies and Gentlemen, Unfortunately, your conclusion is wrong! I am not rating you (...average), but my booked event. You can see that, but you don't necessarily have to. Yours sincerely Bernd Laibner

Walking where many influential people had walked before for happy and sad events was truly a privilege. There was a feeling of sadness for me seeing all who were buried here. We had a conversation with one of the staff regarding the knights of the bath which was absolutely amazing and he showed us a book from the 1700's. Our time at the Abbey was absolutely incredible and I'm so happy we took this tour.

Westminster Abbey

One of London's oldest buildings, the Westminster Abbey boasts stunning Gothic architecture and exquisite stained glass. This iconic structure has hosted 38 coronations, starting with that of William the Conqueror. It has also seen the royal weddings of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Prince William. You will also get to see the Coronation Chair, which was created for King Edward I in 1296 and has since been the seat for the crowing of every monarch. To explore Westminster Abbey is to take a trip back in time. It is here that 17 British monarchs, and other exemplary figures such as Isaac Newton and Charles Dickens, are laid to rest. Apart from the Coronation Chair, you will also get to see Poets' Corner, named as such due to the number of poets and writers buried there.

St. Paul's Cathedral

Head over to St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren to stand on Ludgate Hill after the Great Fire of London. A church here has stood since 604 AD. St Paul's, with its world-famous dome, is an iconic feature of the London skyline. The dome is the world's second-largest dome and has adorned the London skyline for more than 300 years. Enjoy the Cathedral's awe-inspiring interior, and uncover fascinating stories about its history. Then visit the famous Whispering Gallery with its unique acoustics. Continue to the Stone Gallery, then the Golden Gallery atop the dome for a photo opportunity of the breathtaking panoramic views across London. Visit the crypt which is the resting place for famous Britons such as Lord Admiral Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Christopher Wren.

Your visit to the Cathedral is enriched by a multimedia guide available in 9 languages - English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. Each language offers an adult or child-friendly format for optimum convenience.

Note: The Whispering Gallery is temporarily closed. Entrance to the Golden Gallery is subject to availability due to capacity controls currently in operation.
