Overview

Dr Geoff, your guide, has a Ph.D. in Medieval History from the University of Oxford - specializing in Medieval Church Architecture. In this 2-hour private tour, you will get a comprehensive, and thorough understanding of the Abbey and its many phases that began in the 11th century.

You will learn about how this marvel was built, and why it is a Gothic masterpiece. There are many historical and cultural links to American history you will find surprising, including the slave trade, the War of Independence, World War 2, and the American Civil Rights Movement.

You will marvel at the list of kings, queens, and the greatest Britains who are buried within its walls, over the last 1,000 years. It is not to be missed especially as it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
