Westminster Abbey

Prepare to step into a realm where history and legend intertwine—the awe-inspiring Westminster Abbey. Nestled upon the very spot where a humble fisherman once glimpsed a celestial vision of St. Peter in the 10th century, this sacred sanctuary boasts over a millennium of religious significance. Although the remarkable structure you are about to behold dates back a mere 750 years, having been consecrated in 1269, its legacy reverberates through the ages. Within these hallowed walls, monumental chapters of British history have unfurled like an epic saga. Witnessed by a staggering 2.5 billion people worldwide, nearly 40 royal coronations and the somber funeral of Princess Diana have unfolded amidst its majestic confines. Today, it continues to serve as the sacred stage for royal nuptials and the final farewells of esteemed figures from British society. Brace yourself for an odyssey through time as you immerse yourself in the tapestry of its enthralling history.

    Not the personalized, small group we were led to believe. Ended up with a huge group traveling together that had to stop and wait for each other and get photos taken by each other all the way through.

  • Outstanding! Great tour guide!
