Nick was very knowledgeable. Our group size was just small enough so we could huddle around him to hear. I saw other larger groups having difficulty with audibility. Nick was very kind helping children in the group spot things. He was very flexible with timing and let us ask to pause whenever we needed pics.

Our guide, Alexandra, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate how she organized the trip and helped with photos.. We had trouble finding our group on a busy corner with other tour groups meeting at the same location. There was a lot of commotion with the police at the time and we found our group later, after joining the wrong group.. Suggest starting in a more unique spot, and with a description of the contact.

Ticketing experience was good. Our guide, Bossa, was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her commentary was very inclusive of all members of the group, relevant and illuminating. She is a credit to the tour guide 'profession'. After our tour with her, it is easy to understand why Westminster Abbey is widely acknowledged as one of the most special places in England, if not the world. Loved the walk up to Buckingham and St James' palaces also.

The history in the building is incredible and Gabrielle our guide did a terrific job conveying the importance of every inch of the building. We felt privileged to witness the site where so many important events have played out over centuries
Unearth centuries of history
Westminster Abbey is where British history gets real. Think coronations, royal weddings, and the final resting place of over 3,300 legends—including Charles Dickens and Isaac Newton! The Gothic architecture is unreal, and the Coronation Chair? It’s been used for every British monarch since 1308. From towering stained-glass windows to the stunning Henry VII Lady Chapel, every corner has a story.
Elevate your experience, go big!
History’s way more fun when you’ve got a guide who knows their stuff! Skip the lines at Westminster Abbey and let an expert (speaking English, German, or French) bring its royal past to life. Want a snack before all that history? Upgrade with a coffee and pastry at the Cellarium. Or, stretch your sightseeing to Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, or Buckingham Palace. Small groups of 20 people, dramatic stories, and upgrades that are too good to pass up—your London sightseeing itinerary deserves the best of the best, so make your choice!
