It was a wonderful experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and receptive. He gave us the history of the Abby as well as English history. He answered all our questions. It was a highlight of our month in London.
Thank you for the fabulous review. It was a real pleasure taking you around the Abbey. I hope we can chat about the Tudors next time you are in London.
Geoffrey Sedleszky, Oxford PhD, gave my wife and I the PERFECT three hour tour of Westminster Abbey. He showed us the outside and every corner of the inside, without waits or crowds. He understood our needs and interests, and gave us clear and thorough explanations of the history, architecture, art, notable episodes, and little known structures. And he is charming. Recommend at the highest level.
Thank yo so much for the great review. It was a pleasure showing you around especially revealing the American links to the Abbey. Hope to see you in June for Wars of the Roses Tour 2026.
Great tour. Geoff is very knowledgeable and engaging. We could not have picked a better person to explain the culture, history, and architecture of the Abbey. We highly recommend his tour. Thank you so much Geoff.
Hi James, I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour. I’m looking forward to showing you more of London next time you’re back on this side of the pond. Regards, Geoff
It was a wonderful and fantastically interesting tour of Westminster Abbey. I am very much impressed by Geoffrey’s knowledge and the way he imparted it to us during our visit there. I really could listen for hours to his stories about the Abbey and the history of England in the broad context of universal history. It was a great pleasure that we could listen to Geoffrey's stories and it was a very good investment to the tour he offered. I would certainly like to come back and learn from him (a true erudite) about other aspects of English history and historical places in London. I recommend Geoffrey’s tour to all visitors to London who would like to learn more about its history, and Westminster Abbey in particular. Bernard, Poland
Hi Bernard, It was a real pleasure showing you and the family the Abbey. You all had such a great passion for history which made the tour that much more memorable for me too. Hope to see you in Poland next year. Geoff
We had planned a weekend trip to London and were very excited to learn about the history and architecture of the Westminster Abbey. We booked with Private tour Oxford PhD guide Geoff. His degree and knowledge is unparalled for this tour and we would highly recommend booking with him. His love of cathedral architecture was apparent in our conversations. He is enthusiastic and professional and a joy to converse with. Our flight was canceled twice and he worked tirelessly to make accommodations for us as our arrival time continued to change. Truly, the level of care and compassion that Geoff showed was unprecedented and we will absolutely book a tour with Geoff on our next visit!
Hello again! Many thanks for the great review. I’m so sorry the airline messed up your plans. Still I’m pleased that you were happy to receive a full refund even though I bought your admission tickets. I sure hope to show you the Abbey when you’re back in London. Regards, Geoff
Our tour guide was magnificent. He gave us more than we had scheduled for, was always able to answer our questions, and was helpful with difficulties. His knowledge and mastery of his subject was thorough. At the same time he was pleasant and fun to interact with. My wife was so impressed, she is seeking to obtain a copy of his book! Would go on another tour with him in a second.
Hi Scott, I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. Please let me know when you are next in London and we can see the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace or other great places. Geoff
It was a great trip led by Geof. In fact, this was not my first time to visit Westminster Abbey. But since I'm traveling with my daughter (10 years' old), I wanted the trip to be more informative and interactive. I felt really lucky that I found Geoff's tour. His knowledge and passion about the building and about history has certainly made the visit much more interesting and rewarding. One other plus is that we got to skip the queue since Geof is a member, and that certainly saved us extra time. I won't hesitate to recommend Geof's tour to anyone who wants to visit the Abbey, for the first time or just to know more about its history.
