What a delightful treat! We weren’t sure if touring the inside was worth it (time was tight and interest was neutral) and line was long. The gal managing the line offered online suggestion for purchasing tickets and we entered within minutes. It’s stunning inside. So unexpected. So much to see and great audio tour to share all information. We toured for about 1-1.5 hours and took countless pictures. We’ve said many times how grateful we were to book it. Fascinating history and a must if in the area.
Terrific Guide and info from Ash on a crisp December morning in London. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

This was one of the first things we did when we got into London. We had a great overview of the Westminster area, the history of London, and a perfect viewing of the changing of the guards. Our guide will was fun, informative, knowledgeable, and always helpful. Highly recommend taking this to her if it's your first time in London.

This tour was a great way to see some of the royal family and political sites in London. Ari was a fabulous guide who dealt with the rain and several hurdles (leaf blowers and noisy helicopter included) giving us great insides into London and its historical sites. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to walk around London!
