Westminster Abbey
Your day begins with skip the line entry into Westminster Abbey, the most serene time to see Britain’s most cherished church. With roots dating back over 1,000 years, this Gothic masterpiece is the traditional coronation site and burial ground of kings and queens, along with national heroes like Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and William Wilberforce. On your visit, you’ll learn from a local expert guide how the British monarchy helped shape the country’s conversion to democracy, as well as a few interesting tidbits about Winston Churchill, one of the only non-royals to ever lay in state in the Abbey after his death.

1.00We were not allowed to get into the Parliament for that portion of the tour unless we had a totally GUIDDD TOUR booked. We were supposed to have a totally guided tour but that’s not what happened. I feel we got ripped off of a very expensive tour.

5.00Tour guides were nice. They met us on time and skipping the line for entry was wonderful. The head sets were helpful to hear everything.

5.00Tour guides on both tours have a wealth of knowledge and answer questions as you go. The 2 tours combined took 3.5 hours. We were allowed pictures at Westminster Abby and the first 2 rooms at Parliament. Both tours are were equally impressive.
