Your experience

Step into Westminster’s royal heart with a guided walking tour, Abbey entry, and live viewing of the Changing of the Guard in one complete experience.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the designated meeting point in central Westminster. After a short introduction, begin your three hour walking tour through key landmarks before heading to Westminster Abbey for your included entry and self guided visit with audio support.

What to expect

Your tour blends live guidance with free time inside Westminster Abbey. You see historic streets and royal landmarks first, then explore the Abbey at your own pace while learning through an included audio guide. The experience also includes viewing the traditional Changing of the Guard ceremony.

Features

• Three-hour guided walking tour: Follow an English speaking guide through Westminster and hear clear explanations about Parliament, royal history, and major landmarks as you walk past them in person.

• Westminster Abbey entry with self guided time: Enter Westminster Abbey with included admission and spend two hours exploring its chapels, tombs, and sacred spaces independently while moving at your own pace.

• Audio guide inside the Abbey: Use the included audio guide to understand key highlights such as royal burial sites, memorials, and architectural details as you explore the interior.

• Changing of the Guard ceremony: Watch the live Changing of the Guard ceremony and see guards march in formation with music and tradition outside Buckingham Palace.
