Head out customer support is first rate and the sole reason for the good rating. St Paul's Cathedral staff were obstructive and unhelpful. St Paul's itself was not worth the expense or effort.
Ann

St Paul's is odd to get in and out of. There are several ways to 'do' the entrance tickets, and hopefully St Paul's staff can keep up with them. It is not a smooth entry experience. But once you're inside -- wowza! The staff is incredibly helpful about questions and polite. This visit I left my prescription glasses in the Whisper Gallery. Staff was on it with walkie talkies and I got my glasses back on the main level immediately. Now THAT was magical teamwork.

I had visited the cathedral before, but this time it was a renewed and expanded experience! Being able to visit the top of the church and take a closer look at the wonders it contains, as well as enjoying a 360-degree panoramic view of the city of London was amazing! I highly recommend it!

St. Paul's Cathedral was a wonderful experience. A great place to visit and learn it history. However, we had to provide a paper ticket. As tourist we don't carry a printer with us. Fortunately the customer service at the Cathedral was able to help us. There should be an easier way such as providing a electronic pass

Pretty nice visits. In the church, you can get devices to follow your own visits with comments. Only thing is that you have to send the ticket/email to the church prior to going there. They can't scan the ticket. This is a bit painful if you are on holidays and you don't have printer.

I always wanted to come to St. Paul's because I play "Feed the Birds" on the piano and dream of it. I loved lighting a candle for my father and my uncle. I loved sitting and looking up at the dome and then climbing the stairs to the Whispering Gallery, the Stone Gallery, and the Golden Gallery. I loved looking out over London. Afterward I sat on the steps and sketched. Had the most wonderful afternoon at St. Paul's Cathedral.

Very fast and simple procedure to book the ticket, but not the simplest way to get in : need to send the confirmation by email, print the voucher, swap it with a ticket... Note that there were almost no queue at that time, so little advantage to book in advance. That said, the visit was fine :-)

Booking the tickets was very easy and intuitive. It is important to pay attention to the warning to print the tickets. In any case, if you don't, there is no problem, but it does make the ticketing process a little longer.

Westminster Abbey is magnificent, and although it's well organized, there are still a lot of visitors at the same time, which means you're "pushed" by the crowds and it's sometimes difficult to linger in certain places. The London Eye is a great way to get a feel for the immensity of the city, and the view is magnificent.

Very good visit ! we stayed there for a little over 2 hours to tour the site and explore the different rooms. There is a lot to see and it is very interesting. Opportunity to see the Crown Jewels (which is the reason for our visit) but everything else about the tour is just as amazing ! You will be able to see for example: the White Tower, the ravens, the Chapel, as well as different exhibition rooms which give you a lot of explanations... all with a view of the Tower Bridge.

Buying the tickets was quick and easy, and we were inside the Tower in no time. Every 30 minutes, there’s a free guided tour with a Yeoman, which we joined and would highly recommend. Our guide was both funny and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. After the tour, we explored the different buildings inside the Tower at our own pace. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tower of London, especially the Warden tour. We allocated 4 hrs but it just wasn't enough time. Was disappointed with tower bridge as we thought that we would see under the bridge workings a d engine e room, but it was just a display of the engines in a building. The walkways were interesting. Views were amazing

Given the price of the attraction, I expected the audio guide to be included. I used the online audio guide indicated at the time of entry but had difficulty, especially at first, locating the tour route and identifying the places corresponding to the comments in the guidebook itself. I suggest that the route of the visit be more clearly indicated by also putting up signs at the places with which a commentary is associated in the audioguide

We had a wonderful time and the half day trip to Windsor Castle was defenitley worth it! If you are thinking about going, do it! Our guide Ava and driver Trisha were excellent! The bus was very nice and clean, and pick up was a breeze. There was plenty of room on the bus as the entire group size ended up only being about 20 people, which was nice! Trisha was an excellent driver and very nice! Ava was fantastic and talked about some of the history of the castle and royalty on the ride up. Ava walked us up to the castle and gave us our wristbands for entry. She gave great instructions on how to get back to the bus after as well. After going through quick security, We got there just in time to see the changing of the guard. We had plenty of time to see the State Apartments & St.George Chapel (we skipped the dollhouse) & then grabbed some coffee and did some shopping before heading back to the bus. Only a few times/rooms throughout the tour did it feel busy/crowded, so it was nice to take our time and see everything without having to wait on people/room to move around. We were dropped back off at our pickup point after. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting London and has never been to Windsor before.

I thought purchasing the tickets on line, would just make things simple, but when we arrived, everybody had that purchased on line had to then e mail them to the cathedral, so they could pring them out....seemed a bit of a odd way to do things, when we were trying to make things paperless!

It wasn't you, but the gentleman at the ticket office who couldn't read the ticket correctly. We had one family (1 adult, 3 children) and another adult. After a long back and forth, he then asked his colleague, who then explained to him that the ticket was not wrong.

When we got to St Paul's we were told that they needed the printed ticket not the QR CODE! So they gave us a strip of paper with St. Paul's email on it for us to email the entire email from you to them..... Did I miss something on your email ticket that said to print it and take it with me to the Cathedral? Please sort this situation ASAP. Thanks

The view from the London Eye is splendid and well worth the price. On the other hand, Sea Life is far too crowded to take advantage of weekday mornings.

Head out customer support is first rate and the sole reason for the good rating. St Paul's Cathedral staff were obstructive and unhelpful. St Paul's itself was not worth the expense or effort.
Ann
Oct 2024Verified booking
St Paul's is odd to get in and out of. There are several ways to 'do' the entrance tickets, and hopefully St Paul's staff can keep up with them. It is not a smooth entry experience. But once you're inside -- wowza! The staff is incredibly helpful about questions and polite. This visit I left my prescription glasses in the Whisper Gallery. Staff was on it with walkie talkies and I got my glasses back on the main level immediately. Now THAT was magical teamwork.

I had visited the cathedral before, but this time it was a renewed and expanded experience! Being able to visit the top of the church and take a closer look at the wonders it contains, as well as enjoying a 360-degree panoramic view of the city of London was amazing! I highly recommend it!

St. Paul's Cathedral was a wonderful experience. A great place to visit and learn it history. However, we had to provide a paper ticket. As tourist we don't carry a printer with us.
