Following complimentary coffee and pastries at the Cellarium, the 14th century medieval under croft, we enter the Westminster Abbey through the cloister. The cloister entrance offers priority access. This will be followed by an exclusive tour with our professional qualified guide.
You will hear about the most recent coronation of Charles III that took place on the 6th May, 2023, the marriage of William and Kate – the Prince and Princess of Wales, and also stop briefly to pay our respect and celebrate the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II whose state funeral also took place at the Abbey.

What To Expect
Westminster Abbey
An architectural masterpiece, Westminster Abbey presents a unique pageant of British history – the shrine of St Edward the confessor, the tombs of kings and queens, and countless memorials to the famous and the great. Our guide will help bring to life this remarkable building where 40 English and British coronations have taken place since 1066. You will hear about the most recent coronation of Charles III that took place on the 6th May, 2023, the marriage of William and Kate – the Prince and Princess of Wales, and also stop briefly to pay our respect and celebrate the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II whose state funeral also took place at the Abbey.
Our first experience of Westminster Abbey, one of the jewels in London’s crown and a must see for any visitor, is in the 14th century medieval under croft. Originally used by the Benedictine monks to store food and drink - the Cellarium is now a unique restaurant, and we pause here for refreshments. (Refreshments included in the price)

5.00Zozo was a great guide. He is a natural story teller that brinks the entire experience to life. There are so many things I think I would have missed if I was not in this tour. Get the behind the scenes narrative that brings the entire experience to life. And we were a few minutes late due to some transportation issues, and they worked with us to make sure we got caught up and only missed the pastries- Thank YOU for that kindness.

5.00We had a wonderful time on our tour. It was so nice to start with tea and croissants with our tour group, and get into the Abbey right away without waiting. Our tour guide, Zozo, was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and could answer any question thrown his way. He made sure we saw all the best parts of the Abbey, navigated us through the crowds very efficiently, and was completely charming and engaging. It was such a great experience and I highly recommend it!
