Westminster guided walking tour with pre-booked Westminster Abbey entry, 20 landmarks, and a free audio guide. 5 hours, English.
“The tour involves good amount of walking and is a good over view of the historic places. It has ticket of Westminster Abbey there is no guided tour of the Abby. So if you want to just go to the Abby you would be better of buying ticket for the Abby on the spot. Our guide Mark was very polite and knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of background history and showed us important buildings which we would not have noticed. Thank you Mark for a memorable experience.”
Walk Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace in one efficient half-day, with Blue Badge guidance and skip-the-line Abbey entry.
“Olga was an amazing tour guide! She taught us so much about Westminster and Buckingham Palace and we learned way more than if we had gone on our own. We highly recommend this tour!!”
A silent-disco West End walking tour with show tunes, big theatre landmarks, and optional singalongs, all heard clearly with headsets.
“This is a lively experience where you join others as you move, sing and dance while walking through the West End and SoHo sections of London. Your leader will tell stories about the different theatres and shows, as you pass by them, and lead you in songs from those shows. Everyone in the group has on headphones that are pumping music and your guide’s voice. It is a BLAST!!!”
Westminster on foot to Big Ben, then visit Churchill War Rooms with included entry and audio. Guided small-group, about 5 hours.

Great time, great guide, great tour!”
