We had the best guide who...
We had the best guide who had a great sense of humor and was super knowledgeable about the abbey and general history. She also had amazing tips for how to make sure we saw everything we needed to see without getting caught up with the crowds. We also did this tour our first day and it was such a great discussion since the abbey touches a lot of the history you’ll explore other places like Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, etc.

Westminster Abbey
We had a great tour with Jane and she has a great knowledge of Westminster Abbey. Well worth the time and tour.

DO NOT BOOK WITH AMIGO TOURS
Do not book with Amigo Tours. The Tour Guide did not show up at the dedicated time and meeting spot and the company refused to refund the amount paid. AWFUL!

Major disappointment
I paid for the guided parliament in Westminster tour. Approximately 2 days ago they canceled out of the blue, the department tour. I sent three to four messages saying that I would like to be refunded for the other tour and to give me options for the parliament guided tour. I received no response. I showed up at the change time based on their message and there was no amigo tours representative outside of the Abbey shop as indicated they would be. I have now requested full refund of the tour and at this point and so disappointed with their response and lack of planned events for me in London, I would not use them for any other tour. That is wasting my time and money. We shall see how this resolves and that would indicate whether I would ever use them for any other tours

The tour guide is present...
The tour guide is present for Westminster abby until you reach inside parliament, after which you have an audio guide. Both are very good & make for a high quality experience

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 599 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry?
+
Around 210 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London: Guided Tour Westminster Abbey + Optional Parliament Entry start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
