We have a family with kids of varied ages - 7, 10, 14, and 17. Dan did a great job of keeping everyone’s attention and made the history fun and interesting for our large family. With his help, we made it through each building while learning interesting stories and getting a better appreciation for the history of the UK. We loved learning the background behind the Royal Jewels before we saw them. Learning the stories behind different jewels being stolen or people killing other people for them made them more exciting for my kids to go see them and search for specific jewels. We learned a lot about those who lived in the Tower and died there as well. The kids remembered so many of the stories and everyone said this tour was a highlight of their trip to London. Dan is very knowledgeable and great at taking questions. We would definitely do another tour with him.
This was our second visit to Westminster Abbey in two years. The first time we toured with the standard audio guide provided by the Abbey. While that was useful, it is very easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the site and all of the prominent individuals buried or commemorated in the Abbey. Determined to have a more meaningful experience this time, we booked this tour. Our guide Charlotte did an outstanding job of contextualizing the history of the Abbey within the course of English history. She was able to identify our focus and interest-level and brought in details we never heard in our first visit, but also helped us be more focused so as not to be overwhelmed. Moreover, she was able to keep our entire group engaged - from elementary school-aged kids through adults with post-graduate degrees. The entire group raved about the quality of Charlotte’s guiding, and we would highly recommend this experience.
Vicky was excellent! Her energy and enthusiasm was contagious. She tells great stories about the various royal families going back to 1066, how they undermined and murdered each other and even decided who was buried where in the Abby. She also highlighted special interest areas like the scientific corner and the poets corner and scandals like the monks trying to steal the royal purse and being filleted. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable experience. We had just landed in London that day and it was so nice to start our time in London with Vicky.
Tour guide was knowledgeable but guide was long winded. She wouldn't let you stand where you were comfortable or look at things that interested in. We was glad when it was over. She kept letting big groups take over where we were standing 1st. Made us move many times and it became unbearable.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. During the high season, some sites can become extremely crowded, and we understand that it can be frustrating. Unfortunately, these situations are not predictable. The Blue Badge guide assigned to your tour was selected for her extensive knowledge and vast experience leading tours at Westminster Abbey. She did her best to provide a worthwhile experience despite the challenges. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us continue to improve. Thank you again for choosing us. Best regard

Alexandra was wonderful ! She was knowledgeable and informative. We really enjoyed her tour! We wish we had time to do another tour with her!
We had Lucy as our tour guide and she was wonderful! She was so knowledgeable and was able to guide us through with ease. She pointed out all the major points. There's so much to see and take in. She made it very easy. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide Lucy was absolutely outstanding. She guided us through the crowds easily and was a fount of information about Westminster Abbey. She guided us to the interesting places and showed us things that we would have easily missed otherwise. It was a bit expensive but was worth every penny.
Denisa was amazing! Or daughter of 8 and 9 years old love it! Was our favorite tour. If you really want to enjoy and learn about the Westminster Abbey, this is the tour. Denisa was full of knowledge and Kees up captive and interested all the time. Our daughter and us learn so much about history, religion, politics and more information. She even helps us to get the right souvenirs. Don’t try another tour (we did and was son disappointed). We highly recommended this tour. Thanks Denisa!!
Lucy was extreme knowledgeable and gave us a comprehensive tour of the 13th to 16th centuries and British history We saw the setting for the Coronation, the shrine of St Edward the Confessor, the tombs of kings and queens, memorials of many famous poets, warriors and musicians . Five stars for this tour !
