Complete Westminster Abbey Tour with Royal Changing of the Guard

Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. She made this tour! Excellent day out!!

Our tour was supposed to include the changing of the guards. However, the day of our tour was the opening day of parliament where King Charles was going to give a speech. So instead our tour guide led us to a prime location where we could see the King approach in his carriage. As we waited Katie gave us information on the history of what was going to happen and a play by play as things unfolded. I learned so much from her as to the background surrounding this ceremony and it's significance. When we returned to Westminster Abbey I was afraid our tour would be shortened because of the other event. Instead, we had lots of time to see everything and hear interesting stories and information. Our tour guide was kind, informative and so knowledgeable. I would definitively recommend this tour to others.

Guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Westminster Abbey. She also was determined we were able to see and experience the entire cathedral.

Unknowingly, we scheduled our tour of Westminster Abbey and the changing of the guards for the day Parliament opened. That meant the changing of the guards wouldn’t be happening. I confess to being disappointed until Katie, our amazing guide, said she planned to find us a great viewing place to see the pomp and ceremony of the opening. It was awesome! The whole time we watched Katie was narrating the event through our earpieces. I feel very fortunate to have been there to experience and learn from the event. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the history enclosed by the beautiful Abbey walls; the beauty was breathtaking. Truly a highlight of our visit to London.
