    Lucy was an excellent and energetic guide on a freezing afternoon. Lucy was extremely knowledgeable about the British monarchy and broke up the monotony with stories about the royals. She took pride in teaching my kids British history, which tied in nicely with the Westminster Abbey tour.

    Ulrich was an excellent guide. He made it very entertaining and told lots of stories about Westminster and the royal family. Everything was very coherent at the end and he had a common thread the whole time. Many thanks for the wonderful experience.
  • A 1,000-year-old story: history and royalty at Westminster Abbey

    Your adventure begins in the heart of Westminster. 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! Join a small group of 15-20 people for an English, German, or French guided tour with an upgraded ticket, or go solo with entry tickets for a self-guided adventure, soaking in the Abbey’s beauty at your own pace.

    Step up your Westminster tour!

    After you’ve snapped your pics, you can upgrade your tickets and check out the Changing of the Guard or choose the walking tour if you’re more into soaking in the view. Big Ben’s calling your name, and trust us, its sheer size will leave you in awe! Admire Buckingham Palace’s stunning exterior or catch the Old Guards handing over duties to the New Guards in the Changing of the Guards ceremony. So, whether you’re with a guide or exploring solo, this tour gives you London’s royal heart like no other!
