Unearthing hidden treasures at Westminster Abbey

Step back in time with this small-group, exclusive guided tour of the stunning Westminster Abbey. Start your day in the cool vaulted charm of the 14th-century Cellarium, once the storage space for Benedictine Monks, now a quaint café. Sip on a warm cup of coffee and nibble on delectable pastries as you brace yourself for the grandeur that awaits. Your professional guide, a fountain of knowledge, will then usher you through the priority access into the grand Abbey. Take your time strolling through the hallways of the Gothic-style monument and marvel at the Coronation Chair. Spend some time at the Poets' Corner which is the final resting place of multiple eminent poets, and explore the Royal Tombs.

Breathtaking views from the sky

Upgrade your experience with optional fast-track access to the London Eye which was initially known as the Millennium Wheel. After a short walk past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, climb aboard the Eye for a panoramic view of the city. From your prime position, identify landmarks like Buckingham Palace and St. Paul’s Cathedral. On clear days, you can see up to an astonishing 40 kilometers. This bird's-eye view of London is the perfect way to end your day of historical exploration and architectural admiration.
