Description
An absolutely essential part of any visit to London, Westminster Abbey is one of the city’s most iconic buildings. Steeped in over a thousand years of history, Benedictine monks first started worshipping at this site in the middle of the tenth century and the current building has been there for over 700 years.
Glorious Architecture
This magnificent gothic construct is a sight to behold and the incredible stained glass is some of the most impressive in the UK.
Coronation Chair
Created for King Edward I in 1296, the chair has been the seat for the crowning of every monarch since 1308, including Queen Victoria and our current reigning Queen, HRH Elizabeth II. It is the oldest piece of furniture in the UK that is still used for its original intention.
Poets’ Corner
The literary corner of the Abbey is named due to the large amount of poets and writers buried there, including Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling and Thomas Hardy, as well as many memorial stones and busts dedicated to the likes of Shakespeare and loved Scottish poet Robert Burns
Kings and Queens
Westminster Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and seventeen monarchs are buried there. The Abbey was also the place where William and Kate tied the knot in 2011.

Cannot recommend enough
Could not have gone better. The room at Canto dos Poetas Prague is a gem in itself. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. If only every tour were run like this.

Nos encantó
Cumplió con todo lo que prometía y un poco más. Muy prolijos con los horarios. Nos encantó la zona de Italian. Una de las paradas estaba cerrada ese día y no lo avisaron. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

Absolutely worth every penny. You could tell the guide was a local, telling it first hand. For what is included, the price is more than fair. If we come back to Londres, we will do it again.

Perfect intro to the city
It flew by and we wanted more. The group was not huge, which made it much more comfortable. They dropped us at German with no detours. My only complaint is that they did not warn us about all the stairs.

Vale la pena
Un buen paseo, sin llegar a ser inolvidable. Es una noche redonda: comés bien y ves un espectáculo de verdad. Muy bien que incluyera entrada a la Abadía de Westminster Los tragos incluidos eran bastante básicos. Lo recomiendo, con las aclaraciones que hice.

Casi perfecto
Contentos con la experiencia, aunque no todo fue perfecto. El auto tenía agua fría esperándonos, un detalle mínimo que se nota. El chofer nos fue contando qué era cada cosa hasta Hindi. La confirmación tardó un día en llegar y nos puso nerviosos. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.
