Itinerary

  • Westminster Abbey

    Prepare to step into a realm where history and legend intertwine—the awe-inspiring Westminster Abbey. Nestled upon the very spot where a humble fisherman once glimpsed a celestial vision of St. Peter in the 10th century, this sacred sanctuary boasts over a millennium of religious significance. Although the remarkable structure you are about to behold dates back a mere 750 years, having been consecrated in 1269, its legacy reverberates through the ages. Within these hallowed walls, monumental chapters of British history have unfurled like an epic saga. Witnessed by a staggering 2.5 billion people worldwide, nearly 40 royal coronations and the somber funeral of Princess Diana have unfolded amidst its majestic confines. Today, it continues to serve as the sacred stage for royal nuptials and the final farewells of esteemed figures from British society. Brace yourself for an odyssey through time as you immerse yourself in the tapestry of its enthralling history.

Published on Mar, 2025

Our group of six had a fantastic time on this tour. Dan, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable and also very efficient over the 3 hours concluding the tour right on time. He highlighted all of the major sites and also took our group some lesser known nooks of Westminster Abbey with amazing history. Dan also positioned our group in a great spot to view the changing of the guard. All the while giving us interesting tidbids of British history. I can't recommend this tour enough and count yourself especially lucky if Dan is your guide.
