Exceptional tour of Westminster Abbey with Ana
jameswW9377BS,Jul 8, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Exceptional guide with the most engaging and thoughtful and insightful tour. The test of a good tour is what you retain, and how the stories inspire your imagination and your curiosity. Ana took us through a journey of history and storytelling at Westminster Abbey, weaving intrigue and art and war and humor and religion and royalty. I had done a tour of Westminster Abbey before and I hesitated to do it again but my family was going, so I did. I learned all new things. Highly recommend this guide and her tour experience. A+

Informative and Fun Tour of Westminster Abbey
Kim J,Jul 6, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Tour starts promptly and begins with tea. We did the early morning tour and it was so nice to skip the crowd. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide also gave us a few recommendations like to attend Evensong later in the day and to pay the modest fee to tour the upstairs...both were great experiences.
