Westminster Abbey Guided Tour

5.00My mom and I went on this tour of Westminster Abbey early in the morning on March 20th. It was our first time visiting and neither of us were very familiar with the history and cultural impact of this church besides what we’ve occasionally seen on TV. We had the absolute pleasure of having Frank as our tour guide and feel as if we lucked out being able to learn about the Abbey by such a knowledgeable and passionate man. Once a person meets Frank, it quickly becomes apparent that his love for England’s history and culture is infectious to anyone within earshot. When Frank smiled while telling the group about an exciting piece of the Abbey’s history, I unknowingly found myself smiling along side him. If anyone reading is this considering going on this tour of the Abbey all I can say is this: absolutely give it a shot and ask if you’re able to be guided by Frank, the most cheerful man in England.

5.00Tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave you so much information. The church got really crowded, you could almost not move at multiple times. Too many people in the church, but not the fault of the tour operator or guide. He was great, always pulling us into a corner or an away space so we could hear.
Wonderful guide. So...
