5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided incredable history and perspective. Due to the number of other tours taking place all around us she was often difficult to hear. Use of headphones or ear buds would have improved the experience.
Awesome Westminster Abbey experience

5.00Of all the tours this is the one we loved the most. My husband told Nick M. Our tour guide that he could listen to him describe the inside of a bathroom. His tone was soothing and he was so knowledgeable. And with my husband in a wheelchair he was so helpful making sure he was comfortable and could see as much of the Abbey as possible. Taking us to Parliament and making sure the guards were able to help with all of the searches required, Nick was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour of Westminster Abbey and the London Parliament -so interesting, but especially with Nick.
Nick was an amazing...

5.00Nick was an amazing guide! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, sharing facts in the Abbey then after on our walking tour around parliament, but he had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing! Highly recommend if you can request him at the abbey or Clarence House you do!
