I thought our tour guide, Nick was excellent. Very informative and entertaining. He made sure all questions were answered and we saw all the most important parts of the abbey.

Pauline is a wonderful and super informative tour guide. Westminster Abbey is huge and just so full of history, and yet Pauline was able to guide us to all the most significant parts of the Abbey, all the while telling us of the historical events and people that have played a part in the Abbey‘s history. As one can expect, there were plenty of people also touring/visiting, so Pauline knew where to go and at what time so that we could have a more enhanced experience. We highly recommend Pauline for your Westminster Abbey tour.
