Great tour of Westminster Abbey! - Our guide was so very knowledgeable and was able to get us into the gardens at Westminster! We offered to forgo Buckingham Palace walk around as we had already toured there. The guide was amazing and it was just the 2 of us on the tour so very personal and professional.

Exceeds Expectations - One of the best tours ever. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her job. We were at bit skeptical about doing a private tour, but realized that it was worth it to get a Blue Badge guide. My only critique is the tour itself. I feel that the outside tour about Buckingham palace should be excluded because it takes away time from being able to take in everything at the abbey. We skipped the part about Buckingham and barely had enough time to make it through both floors of the church as it was. The staff were nice at the church and it was wheelchair accessible, except for the back of the building. The tour had great value for everything that was included. Very thorough!

Don is the best! - We were the only four on this tour and they didn’t cancel on us. So we had guide Don to ourselves for the time and it was so fantastic. Don was personable and so incredibly knowledgeable. Amazing time for the whole family.

Amazing experience - We attended this tour with my elder mother, myself and my adult neice and the pace was perfect… Warren we so knowledgeable and shared such great insight into the history and architecture of the Westminster Abbey, buckingham palace, 10 Downing Street as well as the park we walked through and all the information along the way was shared in a pleasant tour. He gave us options on the walking path to the further points based on our ability and made us very comfortable. He was able to answer all our questions and is really an asset to this tour.

Maria was a very... - Maria was a very knowledgeable and thorough guide. She knew her history. She asked at the outset what we were interested in seeing and tailored the tour based on our response. I would be happy to have her as our guide at another venue.

Worst experience ever! - I cried, our experience was disastrous...My guy and I were traveling to Amsterdam and Edinburgh. I realized we would be close to London, and Westminster Abbey was on my bucket list. I am 74 years old.. should do this now! We decided to add a side trip to London for a couple days, booked a flight, room, and a top notch visit to the Abby with Tripadvisor/ Viator. My dream was coming true, I was excited. We waited at the location to meet our guide. No one came. We walked to the other side of the building, was told we had the correct locating for our tour and went back to our previous location. No one came. We called to discover the tour was booked for the day before. We had our e-ticket in hand showing we had the correct day and time. They checked the information to find a mistake had taken place. They offered to book us the next day but we were traveling to Edinburgh early the next morning, our room was booked, too late to cancel. They refunded our tour money. I called once home letting them know what happened in anticipation of receiving some form of compensation. Our airflight and hotel was costly. I received an email saying they would give us a 15% discount on our next booking if used in a short period of time. Because of our trip to London it shortened our time in Edinburgh. Adding to the sting! When I think of this fiasco, my heart is heavy.
