Very different church to visit and to view from up high. We missed out last time we visited London so wanted to visit this time. Loved the architecture and the crypt and stories about some of those who were buried there 

Tuvimos que enviar los boletos a un correo de la catedral ya que debíamos llevarlos impresos y nunca se nos indicó eso. Fuera de ese inconveniente lo demás excelente 

We had to send the tickets to a courier at the cathedral since we had to bring them printed and we were never told that. Apart from that inconvenience, everything else was excellent.

Magnifique expérience, l'audio guide nous permettait de comprendre précisément ce que l'on voyait. Ma fille de 10 ans, qui aime beaucoup l'histoire, a adoré la version "enfant", elle a appris beaucoup de choses et ça reste un des moments clé de son voyage à Londres.

A wonderful experience, the audio guide helped us understand exactly what we were seeing. My 10-year-old daughter, who loves history, loved the "children's" version. She learned a lot and it remains one of the highlights of her trip to London.

The attraction was a fantastic experience, the displays and tour guides were informative, great language choices including Polish, which is hard to get at some places, I would recommend this tour.

The visit to St Paul's was great.

The booking of the tickets were easy. However I was asked for a printout of the tickets. This delayed the entry. What is the point of booking online and then expected to print

Beefeater talk was so interesting and he had a fabulous sense of humour. Really kept our attention and we learnt so much from his talk
