Guy (tour guide) was amazing! Super knowledgeable and friendly and made the tour informational and also fun. Perfect amount of time and information!
Excellent private tour of Westminster Abbey. Our tour guide was patient and knowledgeable in extremely crowded conditions. We all enjoyed this tour.
Our guide, Turid, took us on the most wonderful tour of Westminster Abbey, enhancing our previous visits with new stories, tidbits, and things to see. By the time we were finished, we had become old friends. She was energetic, funny, told us history with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face - clearly the old kings and queens of England were her monarchs! Highly recommended!
Great experience. Tour guide Dani (or Danielle) was knowledgeable and engaging. Lively conversation and knew where to go and what to talk about
Dani with Urban Saunters is an outstanding guide. She breaks open the history and architecture of Westminster Abbey along with fascinating details that bring information to life. We heard about kings and their exploits and got to see all the critical sites beginning with the exterior and including the New Abbey Museum up in the gallery above the nave of the church. If you like history and good storytelling choose Dani.
Jackie is the best! She has a palpable love for history and English culture and, in particular, is incredibly knowledgeable about the art and history of Westminster Abbey. I would strongly recommend this tour. It dramatically enriched our experience and was well worth it! We had kids ranging in age from 10 to 19 years, and Jackie did a great job of keeping them engaged with colorful anecdotes.
Westminster Abbey with Private guided tour is worth every pound you pay. Super knowledgeable guide and answered all our questions. Layla made our experience that much more memorable.
Westminster is not to be missed. You walk where the royals did; see the graves of Queens and Kings; get British history among an amazingly beautiful church. Cannot believe the architecture. Had a tremendous guide in Ben. Would love to do experience all over again.
Ben was our guide and he was brilliant. He loves the Abbey and you can tell in the information he gives. You can hear the reverence in his voice. He has a great personality also. Highly recommend the tour and Ben.
Westminster Abbey is really a complicated big place with a lot of history and having a private tour guide was worth every penny. Maryy was wonderful and made the experience unforgettable
