Westminster Abbey Guided Private Tour

This private tour gave us an in-depth experience in Westminster Cathedral. Extremely knowledgeable and personable guide.

The private tour is the way to go. You can focus on what interests you or areas you want to learn more of. You can set the pace and work with your guide to get the best of your two hours.

Guy (tour guide) was amazing! Super knowledgeable and friendly and made the tour informational and also fun. Perfect amount of time and information!

Excellent private tour of Westminster Abbey. Our tour guide was patient and knowledgeable in extremely crowded conditions. We all enjoyed this tour.

Our guide, Turid, took us on the most wonderful tour of Westminster Abbey, enhancing our previous visits with new stories, tidbits, and things to see. By the time we were finished, we had become old friends. She was energetic, funny, told us history with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face - clearly the old kings and queens of England were her monarchs! Highly recommended!

Great experience. Tour guide Dani (or Danielle) was knowledgeable and engaging. Lively conversation and knew where to go and what to talk about

Dani with Urban Saunters is an outstanding guide. She breaks open the history and architecture of Westminster Abbey along with fascinating details that bring information to life. We heard about kings and their exploits and got to see all the critical sites beginning with the exterior and including the New Abbey Museum up in the gallery above the nave of the church. If you like history and good storytelling choose Dani.

Jackie is the best! She has a palpable love for history and English culture and, in particular, is incredibly knowledgeable about the art and history of Westminster Abbey. I would strongly recommend this tour. It dramatically enriched our experience and was well worth it! We had kids ranging in age from 10 to 19 years, and Jackie did a great job of keeping them engaged with colorful anecdotes.

Westminster Abbey with Private guided tour is worth every pound you pay. Super knowledgeable guide and answered all our questions. Layla made our experience that much more memorable.

Westminster is not to be missed. You walk where the royals did; see the graves of Queens and Kings; get British history among an amazingly beautiful church. Cannot believe the architecture. Had a tremendous guide in Ben. Would love to do experience all over again.

Ben was our guide and he was brilliant. He loves the Abbey and you can tell in the information he gives. You can hear the reverence in his voice. He has a great personality also. Highly recommend the tour and Ben.

Westminster Abbey is really a complicated big place with a lot of history and having a private tour guide was worth every penny. Maryy was wonderful and made the experience unforgettable

Excellent tour by Trudy! We had a wonderful time introducing our teenage boys to Westminster Abbey and having Trudy as our guide made it even better. She was full of energy, fun facts, brought history alive, and provided so much detail around every aspect of the Abbey. Most importantly she kept our boys engaged. Thank you Trudy!

This experience was amazing! We had 7 of us ranging from ages 14-51 and all enjoyed it. Such deep history, much we didn’t know before the tour. And we loved our tour guide, Edward. And being a private tour was so much better - no lines, questions answered immediately and such warmer feel.

I didn't know what to expect at Westminster Abbey, but now I know it is not like St Paul's Cathedral. It's smaller, with tourists more tightly packed inside the Abbey. There's very little room to move around freely, with hardly any room to capture good pictures. And while it is a beautiful structure, the pressing crowd prevents any time to stop and admire sites for very long. Everyone seemed to progress through in a long line snaking past the major sights. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the people and dates, but didn't really connect us to the historical significance or impact of what we were seeing. If felt a bit scripted. Maybe a bit more backstory or emphasis would have helped us to better appreciate the sites. The private tour was also shorter by about 30 minutes than I expected as well, especially for the cost. We've taken several great tours through Viator but this one was our least favorite. If I ever go back to the Abbey, I'd probably opt for the group or audio tour next time and go through at my own pace.

our tour guide was excellent and took into consideration our physical limitations. We couldn't of been treated better.

Without the guide we would have missed so much of the history and special items in the Abbey. You could go and wander around, but, our guide, Vivien brought history to life for us. Made the trip so much more memorable. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I loved this tour! Visiting Westminster Abbey can be very intimidating, but Trudy brought the Abbey and its story to life. We both learned a great deal about British history.

Saw the Abbey from top to bottom. Mary was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided us with background and insight. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Trudy, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and funny! We were able to see the Abbey at our own pace and ask lots of questions - Trudy answered them all! With a private tour, we were also able to be the first ones in the Abbey that morning and saw much of it before the crowds started. I would highly recommend Urban Saunters and especially, Trudy, as a tour guide.

We had a wonderful time with Vivien today on our tour of Westminster Abbey. She shared her extensive knowledge of history and we learnt so much. We are a family of 5 with children aged 9, 14 and 16 and all of us were fascinated by the beauty and depth of history of this sacred space. Thank you Vivien for an amazing experience!

The highlight the tour was learning about all the history of this great building.Robert gave is some great tales of its history and how the history of the Royal family fitted in, and was very engaging.All in all it was a great experience.

The private tour of Westminster Abbey was exceptional. Paced well, with engaging and professional historical narrative provided to enhance the experience. The guide was genuinely passionate about sharing her wisdom about the Abbey which was extraordinary and enjoyable to see. I gained a new perspective about the historical significance of the monarchy in Great Britain (as an American) as well as the social dynamics of church, state, and religious conflicts. A must do and well worth the cost.
