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!

4.00Our guide was very knowledgeable but his voice didn’t project and it was difficult to hear. Recommend this guide use vox hearing devices for his tours in Westminster Abbey which is very crowded.
Do even if you’ve done the audio tour.

5.00Nick was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Glad we did the tour. We did the audio tour 6 years ago. This was a nice addition to what we’ve done in the past. The Abbey does get crowded so pay attention to your guide to help you. It was raining so the outside of the parliament tour was a bust. Nick gave us the lay of the land and we got what we wanted. Always worth going to back to the Abbey.
