Review of London’s Westminster Abbey and Westminster walking tour, with priority entry, expert stories, landmark views, tips, drawbacks, and value advice.

Taste classic London food, historic pubs and City lore on a small-group tour ending at Leadenhall Market.

Dine on a six-course meal aboard a glass-roofed bus while London landmarks, bridges, and riverside sights glow after dark.
“The service and the food were amazing. Francisco did an outstanding job. Since it was a tour that stated there was an audio guide, that’s what we had expected. There was a website that was offered on a QR code that you had to open on your own device and it was just a map with dots of locations we would pass. So basically you eat a nice meal on a vehicle with a window top while driving around. No details and no audio tour. You could eat more comfortable in a nice restaurant. It also said there was air conditioned and it didn’t feel like it was on.”
Compare the Go City London Explorer Pass, covering 2 to 7 attractions such as the Tower, Shard, Westminster Abbey, cruises, museums, and tours.

Follow Shakespeare through London with actor-guide Declan, from Blackfriars to Barbican, finding theatres, homes, churches, speeches, and secrets.
“Declan was an excellent guide. Passionate about Shakespeare’s history, he enthusiastically presented historical information and entertaining stories about the Bard. As a small group, he took time to interact with each of us while guiding us to places we never would have found ourselves. If you are interested in Shakespeare, this is a fantastic tour for you.”

Walk Roman London to Tower Bridge, hear stories of the City, and enjoy Garden at 120 rooftop views on Sunday or Monday.
“This was an excellent walking tour of London. It was full of great information and stories and was entertaining as well. If it’s your first (or 50th) time to the city there will definitely be lots you can pull from this activity. It was the perfect way to get acclimated to London. Great guide as well. Would highly recommend!”
Cycle from Waterloo through London’s old docks, Roman walls, Tower Bridge, and quiet lanes on a four-hour guided history tour.
“We had a small group of four on our tour with Katie. It was a pleasant surprise to have a small group and it definitely helped navigate some of the more crowded areas. We navigated around some popular sights and many hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. Our tour did go from 10:30-2ish and my only suggestion for riders would be to get a large breakfast before the tour. Or adding a market stop or making sure we have time to get lunch at the pub on the tour would be a nice option.”
Pick a river, a palace or a pavement.
