Beautiful place and it has rich history. I enjoyed reading about the individuals whom were located in the tombs around the church.
Both cathedrals were breathtaking. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to wait in th queue for appx 1 hour (we arrived at 9,15 am). The tour took 3 hours (and could be longer if we really stops everywhere). At Westminster you can go with the online ticket, but St. Paul's requires the paper one. So print it first otherwise there is a difficult procedure to get the ticket. We received electronic guides in both. The recommended application from the description in Headout did not work. I really appretiated the view from St. Paul¨s evend the stairs are really long (appx 500 stairs).
Seeing all those tombs of great monarchs gave meaning to history. It was a privilege to see them. I loved Poets Corner too.
Review of Westminster Abbey – A Truly Breathtaking Experience Visiting Westminster Abbey was an absolutely incredible experience. To be able to walk through such a profoundly historic place — in its entirety — was something truly special. Every corner of the Abbey is filled with centuries of history, and you can genuinely feel the weight and significance of it as you explore. The architecture alone is awe-inspiring. The sheer beauty and grandeur of the building took my breath away. From the intricate details of the stonework to the stunning stained-glass windows, everything about the Abbey speaks of a deep and rich past. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, or simply want to experience one of the most iconic landmarks in London, Westminster Abbey is a must-visit. Unforgettable and deeply moving. Getting tickets through AXS (AheadOut) was also extremely easy and smooth — the whole process was hassle-free and straightforward. Highly recommended!
Westminster Abbey was sublime and luminous, as we were lucky enough to visit it in glorious weather. The audio guide is really well designed, so you can adapt your visit to your own pace. For the Tower of London, take the tube and you'll cover the 4.5 km in 10 minutes. Try to catch the changing of the guard. There are 6 of them and they pass right in front of you.

Was a wonderdull experience. Grate!!!!!
Just a breathtaking experience.
Our guide, Alexandra, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate how she organized the trip and helped with photos.. We had trouble finding our group on a busy corner with other tour groups meeting at the same location. There was a lot of commotion with the police at the time and we found our group later, after joining the wrong group.. Suggest starting in a more unique spot, and with a description of the contact.
Ticketing experience was good. Our guide, Bossa, was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her commentary was very inclusive of all members of the group, relevant and illuminating. She is a credit to the tour guide 'profession'. After our tour with her, it is easy to understand why Westminster Abbey is widely acknowledged as one of the most special places in England, if not the world. Loved the walk up to Buckingham and St James' palaces also.
Simplicity. On the other hand, contradictory information on the email about the arrival time at the abbey. On the one hand, you had to arrive absolutely 15 minutes before the chosen time. On the other, entry possible at any time from 9:30am.

We had a great tour and learned a lot about the Abby I hadn't learned on my last self guided tour. Tracey did a great job.
We liked seeing the band head to the palace, but we're very disappointed when we were too far back to actually seeing the changing of the guard. The horse parade was also great!
It was very interesting and the staff were helpful but i wasn't in a tour group and my info device stopped working. It would be great if the Abbey was more like a modern museum with written information, but apparently the King doesn't fancy it.
The Abbey's architecture is impressive. I get to learn the structure of a medieval church. The queue was long and we had to wait and shuffle with the crowd.
The history in the building is incredible and Gabrielle our guide did a terrific job conveying the importance of every inch of the building. We felt privileged to witness the site where so many important events have played out over centuries
I've been to Westminister Abbey three times now, and I'm fairly certain, this will be my last time. The first two times I went, we bought tickets at the ticket office the same day, went inside and leisurely moved throughout the Abbey with our own printed guide. The second time much the same happened. This last time, although we booked our tickets for the time that your site insisted was one of the least crowded (Tuesday at 9:30 am.), our movement through the Abbey, especially at the beginning, was hampered by a claustrophobic crowd of people who also had to move with us. The Audio Guide was just bad. Hardly anything was included on it, and it was often difficult to discern which number to press, so I ended up not even seeing Queen Elizabeth I's tomb. Also, my partner and I both went looking for Anne of Cleaves tomb, which the guide said was near Richard II's tomb, and simply couldn't find it. I don't know why the Abbey can't do what other tourist places do, even religious ones, and simply put up small plaques at important sites, perhaps with a barcode to link to a fuller description. Of course, Westminister Abbey is in itself astounding, even when it's crammed with people, but, since we paid so very much to get in to see the place, it would have been nice if the actual visit could have been more pleasant.
The quire area was beautiful. We loved exploring the crypts and stained glass. We found it very crowded and restrictive because there was a mass in progress.

Lucy was an excellent and energetic guide on a freezing afternoon. Lucy was extremely knowledgeable about the British monarchy and broke up the monotony with stories about the royals. She took pride in teaching my kids British history, which tied in nicely with the Westminster Abbey tour.

I have already replied in an email. It was too long a tour visiting some places that were of no interest to me. I was only interested in the 3 places of the hire: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and, above all, Wensminter Abbey.

There was mention of Big Ben and seeing the changing of the Horse Guard during the tour and neither of those truly happened. Big Ben was talked about from a distance, outside and I believe given the amount paid for the ticket we would at least walk inside and do a brief tour after the Abbey. The tour guide was great for what we did see but felt mislead

The relaxing and instructive aspects of the visit are very much appreciated. We let ourselves be guided through Westminster with pleasant little poses. The guide was diligent, very friendly and naturally conveyed her London culture in French! The discovery of Westminster Abbey was fascinating, and some details would have gone unnoticed without Carole. It's a pity that the tour specifies a visit to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace when it's not possible to enter them in April. The descriptions of these buildings from the outside were very interesting. I'd recommend

On the list of attractions linked to my ticket there was the London Eye, but once I got there, I've received the information that your pass is no longer supported there. There was already late, so I couldn't use my pass for any other attraction.
Nothing was special. You sold me tickets to got to sea life the day I baught the ticket. Sea life was fully booked that day so could not get in. I also wanted madam tussauds that's why I got the 2 attraction ticket and madam tussauds wasn't included in hat ticket so couldn't use the ticket at all. You robbed me it's a pure scam. I've asked for a refund and been told I need to give 24 hours notice before the attraction time to get refund. I bought the morning of the day I wanted to go so how can I give 2r hours notice to get refund when tickets didn't work due to sea life being fully booked that day and the ticket not cover the other attraction we wanted. I feel robbed and scammed. My 6 year old daughter had the worst day she cried all the day amd all ay home on train back to Surrey. I'm fuming I want my money bacj
I am waiting on a refund as the app wasn't working kn the day , therefore I paid a lot of money for nothing , very disappointing
It was great vacations in London.

Headout is not a ticket to Westminster, rather it is a voucher. We had to wait 1 hour in line to turn our voucher in for a ticket. If you book directly with Westminster, then you get let right in no wait. Like a Disney FastPASS.
A 1000 years of history. Unfortunately I don't read Latin so a lot of the inscriptions were unintelligible. For better to have a translation next to the effigy and/or tomb. Thank you.
Description and use of tickets exactly as stated. Organization at the Abbey very easy to understand, staff friendly and helpful.

Entrance to the abbey during very ample hours, from 9 a.m. to noon, so you have plenty of time to get to the abbey. Headphones with guide to follow according to areas of the church at will. Beautiful choir and poets' corner, many tombs of important people. Shop outside. Easy and quick purchase I recommend

My wife and I booked a 3-day trip to London and wish we had stayed longer. London is a fantastic city and would be more than happy to visit again. In the short time we were there, we visited The London Eye, Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, went to see Les Miserables, Westminster Abbey, and Churchill's Warroom. Everything we went to was great and can highly recommend to others.
The Abbey is outstanding a breathtaking place that displays the richness of history.

The attraction was very informative and the wardens were helpful and very accommodating. Loved the ravens! And the crown jewels were A-MAZ-ING! Lots of steps to contend with on site so wear comfortable footwear if you go. Booking online made tickets and entry easier. Would highly recommend
the tower of london was ama inv so much to see and our three grandchildren loved it all ,especially the crown jewels and the mint collection ton ,can't belive we are londoners and have never been before ,the poppy displays were stunning ,that was the highlight for me so beautiful we all had a fab time ,the children loved chatting with the friendly yeomans as well , ,we had lunch in the cafe which was all plentiful & delicious ,we will definitely go again

Brilliant day out, lots of interesting things to see and it was lovely to see the Poppies cascading around the Tower. Would highly recommend anyone who hasn't visited to go ahead and buy a ticket, you will not be disappointed.
Seeing all those tombs of great monarchs gave meaning to history. It was a privilege to see them. I loved Poets Corner too.
I had no idea of everything that was in the Tower. We would have allotted much more time. Fanscinating. The Yeoman, AJ, was an outstanding guide - mixing humor with the history. You should allot 3 hours for the tour!
It was obvious from minute one that the most entertaining part of the experience of the Tower of London was going to be the Yeoman who led the tour. He knew his stuff and educated as well as made us laugh.
The tickets were easy to buy, download and use. Great experience. The Tower itself was extra crowded due to VE Day celebrations. We paid for the headphones which are definitely NOT worth it. The headphones are not user friendly and do not improve the experience.
10 a.m. visit with a light flow Very nice exhibition Very interesting site I highly recommend However, from noon onwards, monstrous queues !!!! Prefer early mornings

Absolutely loved the Toer of London. Fantastic place to visit, we visited on a bank holiday weekend and as you can imagine it was busy but the queue flowed very quickly. Lots to see and do, coffee shop, gift shop. Audio tours. An excellent attraction with the Crown Jewels to top it off.

Easy scanning of the tickets on the cell phone, smooth processing. You can stay on the grounds as long as you like The only drawback is that nothing depends on the time slot you have booked, you queue as normal and there is a huge queue at the Crown Jewels.

Purchasing tickets was easy. The tower was beautiful. Exhibits were informational. There were a lot of people! So many people that sometimes it was hard to move freely and see exhibits. My only real complaint is that there were so many people, that the wait to see the Crown Jewels was at least an hour. Unfortunately, we were unable to see them , which was the one thing I was most excited about seeing. I was disappointed about that. Overall, a good experience.
Very impressive and really worth seeing. It's practical that you can book everything from the comfort of your own home and don't have to queue forever for a ticket.

Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral. She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.

Entry taken for 9:30 am we returned at 11:00 am !!!!! 1h30d'attente avant d'entrer faudrait penser a revoir l'organisation

Once allowed in enjoyed the experience. I printed QR codes only but was not sufficient to enter. They wanted booking reference no. So why not say print booking reference no. ???
The French audio guide and the fact that you can take the tour at your own pace. On the other hand, I didn't understand the need to wait and queue (which was quite long) once through the security checkpoints. And during the tour, there wasn't always any indication of which level (which audio guide number) ô was at, whereas sometimes yes....dommage

Headout is not a ticket to Westminster, rather it is a voucher. We had to wait 1 hour in line to turn our voucher in for a ticket. If you book directly with Westminster, then you get let right in no wait. Like a Disney FastPASS.
The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful! I didn't give a 5 star rating only because entering the Cathedral took a long time at the desk. We purchased tickets in advance and I had them available on my phone. However, the gentleman at the desk had to look at my phone, take pictures of three different sections of my phone tickets, and then finally admit us. Four families that arrived with NO tickets, purchased and entered before we did. I wouldn't repurchase tickets again. Slower process. It took 15 minutes and we were already on a time crunch.
A 1000 years of history. Unfortunately I don't read Latin so a lot of the inscriptions were unintelligible. For better to have a translation next to the effigy and/or tomb. Thank you.
Description and use of tickets exactly as stated. Organization at the Abbey very easy to understand, staff friendly and helpful.

On arrival I had to email them the tickets you had sent as they would not accept them as tickets. I had no signal was directed to desk to queue I then had a signal and was able to email them. I don't know if I could have gained entry if I had been unable to email. Seemed clunky system. My issue is with St Paul's staff not overly helpful
We loved seeing all the memorials and reading the information . The people with red robes were very pleasant and helpful .
I was advised to print ticket. This proved difficult so I didn't as a qr code is normally accepted at venues. This particular qr code was not acceptable at the venue (why not) so I had to screen shot, email this to St Pauls. All the while with the queue building up behind me. Very patient staff at St Paul's. They couldn't do enough to sort this.

Chaucer didn't know it, but his 1400 burial inspired a literary tradition—Poets' Corner. Over 100 legends, from Shakespeare to Dickens, are honored here. Tucked in Westminster Abbey's south transept, it's a breathtaking mix of simple stone slabs and grand memorials.
About the Poet's CornerThis isn't just any old chair—it's the Coronation Chair, the throne of kings and queens since 1308! Commissioned by Edward I to house Scotland's Stone of Scone, it's seen 38 monarchs crowned. Originally gilded and ornate, it now bears graffiti, war scars, and four regal lions.
About Westminster Abbey coronationsFrom Plantagenets to Tudors, Westminster Abbey holds the remains of 30 monarchs, each with a story carved in stone. Henry V's tomb sits beneath a chantry, Henry VII's is a Renaissance showstopper, and Mary, Queen of Scots, was reburied here by her son.
About the tombsWhat started as a planned shrine for Henry VI became one of Britain's most dazzling royal mausoleums. Henry VII's Lady Chapel is home to 15 monarchs, including Elizabeth I and Charles II. Its fan-vaulted ceiling is world-famous, and the tomb of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York gleams in stunning gilt bronze.
About the Lady ChapelFrom coronations to BBC Proms, Westminster Abbey's choir knows how to put on a show. Established in the 14th century, it features 30 boy choristers and 12 professional Lay Vicars. Their repertoire spans everything from medieval chants to modern masterpieces, making them one of the world's most celebrated vocal ensembles.
More about the choirPicture this: monks gathering for daily meetings, kings delivering speeches, and medieval artists painting end-of-the-world scenes on the walls. That's the Chapter House—a striking 13th-century octagonal space with a dizzyingly high vaulted ceiling, ancient floor tiles, and flying buttresses that only add to its dramatic flair.
History meets politics at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster's unsung gem. Founded by monks, rebuilt under Henry VII, and serving as the House of Commons' parish since 1614, it's seen Churchill's wedding, Raleigh's burial, and generations of high-profile figures.
Once a monks' dormitory, it is now a treasure trove of history; Westminster Abbey's library has been collecting rare books and manuscripts since 1591. It holds 14,000 pre-1801 books, medieval gems like Liber Regalis, and centuries of coronation records.
About the library & researchHave you ever wondered what Westminster Abbey looks like from 52 feet up? The Diamond Jubilee Galleries answer that in style. Stunning views, medieval artifacts, coronation treasures, and ancient manuscripts fill this space, blending history with modern exhibition design.
