Don’t miss this opportunity. Terrific visit to Westminster Abbey with our guide, Amber. And thank you to our guide David who took us through Parliament. These tours and especially our guides remain bright highlights of our time in London.

Incredible tours. We had difficulty finding the starting point but finally did. The guide Jackie was so knowledgeable about the abbey. Incredible place
Then Sara took over for Houses of Parliament. She too was incredibly knowledgeable. A lot of history was given. Had a wonderful time.

Very detailed and informative tour. Each guide had a very good personality. A tad too long standing for 4 hours for seniors.

A must do for any history buff. This tour was great! Our Westminster Abbey guide was awesome & incredibly knowledgeable. He was also very engaging & personable. He brought to life so many of the stories you read about in textbooks & provided additional tidbits & insights. Absolutely a must do. Our parliament guide was good, but he was still very new so he didn't have a lot of historical knowledge that couldn't be found in a quick Google search. With time, I'm sure he'll be an expert
