Every option includes priority group entry and a tour with a licensed guide. Private experiences last 2, 3.5, 4 or 5.5 hours.

The four-hour shared tour operates in one language, is led by a licensed Blue Badge guide and is limited to 20 participants.

Available tour options

The two-hour private option focuses on the abbey and nearby landmarks. The 3.5-hour option adds approximately 1.5 hours for return transfers.

The four-hour private tour adds St Margaret’s Church and a longer walk towards Buckingham Palace. The 5.5-hour tour includes private transfers. The shared option combines the abbey with an outdoor route past Big Ben, Parliament and Buckingham Palace.

Who is it best for?

The tour is well suited to first-time visitors, travellers interested in British history and anyone who prefers to book admission and guiding as a single package.
