We had a wonderful informative guide who made the tour fun. She was extremely knowledgeable yet did not go over the top with the history of the Abbey. I highly recommend this tour.

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.

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!
