What to expect
On this exclusive guided tour, dive into the history, architecture, and pageantry of Westminster Abbey. Gain skip-the-line access to the Abbey, a true gem in London's crown, and optional priority entry to a more modern architectural marvel, the London Eye. Nibble on refreshments in the Cellarium.
Your tour begins in the Cellarium, the medieval undercroft. Meet your guide under the vaulted walls of this 14th-century Benedictine cellar. As you enjoy a selection of coffee, tea, and pastries in the cool air of the restaurant, imagine the lives of the monks who stored food and wine here.
Following refreshments, enter the Abbey through the cloisters in Dean's Yard. Here, gain priority access and begin your tour of the Abbey itself. Wander past the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, tombs of kings and queens, and countless memorials to the famous and the great.
As you walk, stories from your guide help you to relive the 40 English and British coronations that have taken place at Westminster since 1066, including the most recent coronation of Charles III in 2023. Hear about royal weddings at the Abbey including William and Kate’s, and celebrate the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II whose state funeral also took place at the Abbey.
If you've chosen to visit the London Eye after your Abbey tour, follow your guide on a short walk past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben to the modern marvel. With your fast track ticket, ascend the 135 meters to observe the center of London. Enjoy the panoramic views, then conclude your tour.
