The tour was excellently organized. The many explanations came with lots of stories and punchlines, so that the many dates didn't get in the way, but helped to place the events in time. Highly recommended and we would love to go again.

Skip the lines and step into Westminster Abbey, a stunning Gothic cathedral brimming with over 1,000 years of royal history. Admire the architecture, the famous Poets’ Corner, and the Royal Tombs. Be sure to check out the Lady Chapel—its intricate design is a shining example of medieval art! And, you know the best part? You get to pick your style!

Step up your Westminster tour!

Big Ben’s calling your name, and trust me, its sheer size will leave you in awe!
