The visit to Westminster definitely deserves to be included among London's many attractions. I really appreciated the helpfulness of Headout, I appreciated the help of a virtual assistant who clarified a doubt just hours before the visit , instantly answering my question. I had read that one necessarily had to print out paper tickets, but they immediately replied that it was not necessary.

We had a great time on our tour of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. Our guide was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable.

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.

The historical significance of this place is breathtaking. Unfortunately, it was very crowded and I wasn't able to appreciate all the graves and places. But I think it's nice that you are allowed to take photos. So you can look at many things again at home in peace.

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.

Our tour was booked unknowingly on a day when the monarch was visiting parliament. We couldn't get over to Big Ben or buckingham. Our tour guide Lucy made the absolute best of it, however, and gave us a wonderful tour of the Abbey and then found a way to get us through road closures and over to St. James's park where we lined the roadway (front and centre) to see the King! What an experience. She could have decided to tour the Abbey and then let us go, but she was determined to make this shortfall a win for us. We loved her commentary and knowledge of the area, she was 7/5 stars!!

The visit to Westminster definitely deserves to be included among London's many attractions. I really appreciated the helpfulness of Headout, I appreciated the help of a virtual assistant who clarified a doubt just hours before the visit , instantly answering my question. I had read that one necessarily had to print out paper tickets, but they immediately replied that it was not necessary.

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

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.

Westminster Abbey highlights
Poet's Corner
More than 100 poets and writers, including Shakespeare, Dickens, and the Bronte sisters, are buried or have memorials here. The first poet to be buried here was Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales, in 1400. This area is located in the eastern aisle of the south transept.
About the Poet's Corner
Coronation Chair
The Coronation Chair in St George’s Chapel has remained the centerpiece of coronations for over 700 years with 38 ceremonies for reigning monarchs. The back of the chair has graffiti as a result of Westminster schoolboys and visitors carving their names in the 18th and 19th centuries.
About Westminster Abbey coronations
Royal tombs
Westminster Abbey is the final resting place of 30 monarchs. King Edward the Confessor and Henry III are buried next to each other. In the Confessor’s chapel, you will find the tombs of Edward I, Richard II, and Anne of Bohemia. George II was the last monarch to be buried in the Abbey.
About the tombs
Henry VII Lady Chapel
The Lady Chapel is an example of late medieval architecture with a fan-vaulted ceiling and 95 statues of saints on the walls. It is the burial place of 15 monarchs including Elizabeth I, Mary I, and Mary, Queen of Scots. The chapel has been used to install the Knights of the Order of the Bath since 1725.
About the Lady Chapel
Choir
Established almost 600 years ago, the abbey choir sings every day. There are two organs, the Harrison & Harrison organ and the Queen’s organ. The abbey also hosts other musical events all year long, including choral concerts, weekly organ recitals, and the Summer Organ Festival.
More about the choir
Chapter House
The Chapter House in the East Cloister was where monks gathered with the abbot to ‘hold chapter’: to pray, read from the rule of St Benedict, and discuss the day’s business. Construction began in 1246 and was completed in 1255. It is shaped like an octagon with seating for 80 monks.
St Margaret’s Church
Known as the "parish church of the House of Commons," it served as a place of worship for over 500 years. Founded in the 12th century, the building dates to the late 15th century with Gothic and Tudor architecture and has seen many events, including Sir Winston Churchill’s wedding.
