Our guide was so very knowledgeable and was able to get us into the gardens at Westminster! We offered to forgo Buckingham Palace walk around as we had already toured there. The guide was amazing and it was just the 2 of us on the tour so very personal and professional.
¡Qué maravilloso que vuestro guía consiguiera acceso a los jardines de Westminster—eso es local knowledge en acción! El hecho de que pudiera adaptar la visita a vuestros intereses y ofertar alternativas muestra exactamente por qué nuestros guías son expertos tanto en historia como en creatividad logística. Una visita tan personal y profesional es lo que LetzGo City Tours persigue. ¡Gracias por elegirnos!
One of the best tours ever. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her job. We were at bit skeptical about doing a private tour, but realized that it was worth it to get a Blue Badge guide. My only critique is the tour itself. I feel that the outside tour about Buckingham palace should be excluded because it takes away time from being able to take in everything at the abbey. We skipped the part about Buckingham and barely had enough time to make it through both floors of the church as it was. The staff were nice at the church and it was wheelchair accessible, except for the back of the building. The tour had great value for everything that was included. Very thorough!
It's wonderful to hear the tour exceeded your expectations. We're delighted that your Blue Badge guide's knowledge and enthusiasm made such a strong impression, and that you found the experience to be such great value. Thank you as well for your thoughtful feedback about the itinerary. The Buckingham Palace walking tour is included to provide the wider royal context before visiting Westminster Abbey, but we appreciate that some guests would prefer to spend even longer inside the Abbey itself. We're pleased you were still able to enjoy both levels and found the experience so thorough overall. We hope to welcome you on another LetzGo City Tours experience in the future.

We were the only four on this tour and they didn’t cancel on us. So we had guide Don to ourselves for the time and it was so fantastic. Don was personable and so incredibly knowledgeable. Amazing time for the whole family.
What a gift to have Don's full attention for your Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace tour—that kind of personalized experience, paired with his deep knowledge and genuine warmth, is exactly what makes LetzGo City Tours special. So glad the whole family got to experience those iconic London landmarks through his eyes. Thank you for choosing us!
A wonderful tour of Westminster Abbey. Our tour guy Ben was informative and knowledgeable and helpful with our requests. I definitely recommend this Tour.
Ben's combination of deep knowledge and genuine attentiveness to what guests need—that's the foundation of the Westminster Abbey with Upper Gallery & Buckingham Palace tour. His ability to bring the Abbey's history to life while staying responsive to your questions is exactly what LetzGo City Tours is built around. Thank you for choosing us!
I cried, our experience was disastrous...My guy and I were traveling to Amsterdam and Edinburgh. I realized we would be close to London, and Westminster Abbey was on my bucket list. I am 74 years old.. should do this now! We decided to add a side trip to London for a couple days, booked a flight, room, and a top notch visit to the Abby with Tripadvisor/ Viator. My dream was coming true, I was excited. We waited at the location to meet our guide. No one came. We walked to the other side of the building, was told we had the correct locating for our tour and went back to our previous location. No one came. We called to discover the tour was booked for the day before. We had our e-ticket in hand showing we had the correct day and time. They checked the information to find a mistake had taken place. They offered to book us the next day but we were traveling to Edinburgh early the next morning, our room was booked, too late to cancel. They refunded our tour money. I called once home letting them know what happened in anticipation of receiving some form of compensation. Our airflight and hotel was costly. I received an email saying they would give us a 15% discount on our next booking if used in a short period of time. Because of our trip to London it shortened our time in Edinburgh. Adding to the sting! When I think of this fiasco, my heart is heavy.
Thank you for sharing this, and we're sorry to hear your visit to Westminster Abbey didn't go as planned. We take meeting arrangements seriously — guests are provided clear meeting point and time details prior to the tour, and our guides are reliably present and ready at the designated location. We're unable to determine from this account alone what led to the mix-up, but we did take the steps available to us at the time, including refunding the tour and offering a further gesture of goodwill for a future booking. We want future readers to know that this tour is consistently rated 5 stars, with guests regularly praising our guides' knowledge, storytelling and warmth in bringing Westminster Abbey's history to life. We understand how disappointing this was given the significance of the trip, and we hope you'll consider giving the experience another chance in the future. Best wishes for your future travels. The LetzGo City Tours team.

Great experience to have a very small group! Ours was 3 guests plus our amazing Tour Guide named Ben. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable and friendly Guide! Thank you Ben!
We attended this tour with my elder mother, myself and my adult neice and the pace was perfect… Warren we so knowledgeable and shared such great insight into the history and architecture of the Westminster Abbey, buckingham palace, 10 Downing Street as well as the park we walked through and all the information along the way was shared in a pleasant tour. He gave us options on the walking path to the further points based on our ability and made us very comfortable. He was able to answer all our questions and is really an asset to this tour.
Maria was a very knowledgeable and thorough guide. She knew her history. She asked at the outset what we were interested in seeing and tailored the tour based on our response. I would be happy to have her as our guide at another venue.
Maria was a very knowledgeable tour guide who was very kind and pleasant
