Oversigt over Parlamentet og Westminster Abbey med fuld vejledning
Beskrivelse
Westminster Abbey og parlamentshusene er to af Londons højdepunkter - og på denne tur har du særlig adgang til begge. Spring linjen ved Westminster Abbey og gå ind i den skyhøje kirke, hvor din guide vil dele fakta om dens kongelige historie. Dernæst vil du have den sjældne mulighed for at udforske dele af det indre af parlamentshusene, som ofte er uden grænser for offentligheden.

Rejseplan
Mød din guide og en lille gruppe rejsende. Her vil din guide præsentere sig selv, inden du tager til det første stop på turen.
Din dag begynder med at hoppe over linjeindgangen til Westminster Abbey, den mest rolige tid til at se Storbritanniens mest værdsatte kirke. Med rødder, der går tilbage til over 1.000 år, er dette gotiske mesterværk den traditionelle kroningsplads og begravelsesplads for konger og dronninger, sammen med nationale helte som Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin og William Wilberforce. På dit besøg vil du lære fra en lokal ekspertguide, hvordan den britiske monarki hjalp med at forme landets konvertering til demokrati, samt nogle interessante ting om Winston Churchill, en af de eneste ikke-kongelige, der nogensinde lå i staten i klosteret efter sin død.
Derefter opdager vi Parlamentets huse. Nyd en guidet tur i det britiske demokrati med en kvalificeret, Blue Badge tour guide, i stedet for at følge lydguiden. Besøg House of Commons, hvor Storbritanniens valgte parlamentsmestre mødes. Gå til House of Lords, hvor kolleger, der havde arvet deres titler fra de blåeste blodlinjer i nationen, plejede at sidde. Lær højdepunkterne i bygningens historie, herunder en mislykket bombeplot i 1605, som briterne stadig fejrer i dag (hørte du nogensinde om Guy Fawkes Night?). Gå i Henry VIII og Winston Churchills fodspor. Historie, legende, historie og masser af pomp og omstændigheder blandes og blandes, mens du tager ind i næsten tusind års historie fra en af de bedste guider i London.

Patrick was amazing. Informative, charismatic, very knowledgeable and also not so detailed that he lost us. What a wonderful experience!!!
An excellent tour of Westminster Abbey with Amber. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and personable. She really brought the information to life with some interesting and fun facts. We then were taken to the Houses of Parliament where our Parliament Guide showed us the House of Lords, House of Commons and other areas. We found out so much about the history and the workings of Parliament. A great tour!
Paying extra to skip the line is absolutely worth it when you see how long the regular queue gets. We met our group in Parliament Square, and our guide Emmanuella talked us through the history of the surrounding buildings as she led us to the skip-the-line entrance. Using whisper sets, Emmanuella guided us through Westminster Abbey, weaving through the crowds to the tombs of past monarchs and pointing out the people honoured there with burials or plaques for their contributions to humanity. It was wonderful — the history felt alive rather than recited. From there, Emmanuella handed us over to Nick, one of the House guides, for the Houses of Parliament. Nick was a consummate guide — building suspense as he brought us into each room, blending history with how the spaces are still used today, and giving us the chance to sit where we could as he brought the day-to-day life of the building to life. Bottom line: Emmanuella and Nick were both knowledgeable, generous with questions, and made this tour well worth the cost. Couldn't have asked for better guides.
It was wonderful, not very crowded. Rosie was amazing. She was knowledgeable and funny. She that. Made the whole experience smooth and easy. Thank you Rosie!
Tour guide to the Abbey and separate guide at Parliament were both very good. Tour started at the Abbey at 9 and then at Parliament at 11, including travel and time to enter Parliamant. Would have liked more time in the Abbey.
Very nice visit to do in the morning. Very informative, and Rowland was great
We had a lot of fun. Informative in a fun way. You can tell he loves giving tours and sharing knowledge.
Such a great way to learn about the history of the abbey and Parliament. The tour was roughly 4 hours but the time flew by. While there are few stairs and it’s not a tremendously long walk, it is a long time on your feet and there are very few places to sit, so keep that in mind. Our tour guides were fantastic and very helpful!
Great tour, Robert is a vault of historic facts presented in a tasteful, unrushed, and humorous way.
Yulia is a terrific guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and provides detailed answers to questions.
