Itinéraire
Retrouvez votre guide à l’entrée de l’abbaye de Westminster à 9:15, puis regardez vers l’intérieur du monument historique qui retrace les pas de rois et reines. Depuis le couronnement de Guillaume le Conquérant en 1066, tous les couronnements de monarques d’anglais et britanniques ont eu lieu à l’abbaye, tout comme la célébration de nombreux mariages royaux, y compris celle du Prince William et de Kate Middleton en 2011.
Ensuite, partez pour une visite panoramique de la Chambre du Parlement et traversez la tour Élisabeth où la célèbre cloche Big Ben sonne tous les quarts d’heure. Vous en apprendrez plus sur le rôle des députés qui siègent dans la chambre des Communes et la fonction de la Chambre des Lords.
Comprendre comment et pourquoi, la tour Élisabeth et sa grande horloge et le légendaire clocher ont été construits. Désigné comme un site classé au patrimoine mondial en 1987, le palais de Westminster (le nom officiel du Parlement) jouit d’une façade ostentatoire avec les flèches dorées et les statues des rois qui se reflètent dans la Tamise. Écoutez votre guide vous expliquer l’histoire du bâtiment, de la première ville médiévale de l’horloge construite dans le vieux palais de Westminster, la conception et la construction de la présente tour Élisabeth.

Do not book with Amigo Tours. The Tour Guide did not show up at the dedicated time and meeting spot and the company refused to refund the amount paid. AWFUL!
I paid for the guided parliament in Westminster tour. Approximately 2 days ago they canceled out of the blue, the department tour. I sent three to four messages saying that I would like to be refunded for the other tour and to give me options for the parliament guided tour. I received no response. I showed up at the change time based on their message and there was no amigo tours representative outside of the Abbey shop as indicated they would be. I have now requested full refund of the tour and at this point and so disappointed with their response and lack of planned events for me in London, I would not use them for any other tour. That is wasting my time and money. We shall see how this resolves and that would indicate whether I would ever use them for any other tours
The tour guide is present for Westminster abby until you reach inside parliament, after which you have an audio guide. Both are very good & make for a high quality experience
Jane was awesome and so knowledgeable about history and explained in detail architectural designs.
Our tour time was changed 24 hours earlier and we didn't see any notification as it was only in the app. We wanted 1 hour standing around waiting for a guide. There was no seating or toilets there. Eventually a guide turned up. They give lots of information about who is buried there etc. At parliament we were basically given entry pass and had to walk around ourselves without the guide. For the price we paid, I expected more. You could easily do it all by yourself.

Had a wonderful guide named Nick Morrison. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend visiting Westminster with this tour.
Tour was great though crowded. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts.
Sue was a wonderful guide who steered us through the crowds and shared a great mix of history and fun factoids. Due to traffic we were late and was gracious enough to allow us to join the tour a bit late.
The meeting address given in the info received was incorrect. 20 Deans Yard is a specific address not close to the Abbey Shop. The tour guide talked nonstop for close to 3 hours. Too much info over too long a period of time… the tour could have been much shorter. Parliament was good as we had audio headsets and could go at our own pace.
