Priority Access Tour of Westminster Abbey with London Eye option
Overview
Following complimentary coffee and pastries at the Cellarium, the 14th century medieval under croft, we enter the Westminster Abbey through the cloister. The cloister entrance offers priority access. This will be followed by an exclusive tour with our professional qualified guide.
You will hear about the most recent coronation of Charles III that took place on the 6th May, 2023, the marriage of William and Kate – the Prince and Princess of Wales, and also stop briefly to pay our respect and celebrate the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II whose state funeral also took place at the Abbey.
After the tour, why not join us for a flight on the London Eye? (if option selected). Our representative will take you on a short walk passing the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben before helping you avoid the queues with your fast track ticket. Standing at an amazing 135 meters, the London Eye is the world’s highest observation wheel and offers magnificent panoramic views of London.
