We had a great time on our tour of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. Our guide was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. She led us around the Abbey and kept us together as we all admired our beautiful surroundings. We were always entertained as she gave us lots of information about the abbey. The walk to Buckingham Palace was also a great way to get in steps while also being kept well informed. My husband and I really liked the tour.
