1. Guide did not not show up. 2. Viator should not even have taken the booking since as it happens the Abbey was not open to the public that day (Sunday).

Worst "tour"
Worst agency. Cancel at the last minute and not refund. Fraud to steal your money. Bad communication with Get you Guide. Don't do it.
Response from the operator: Dear karenivonnej, We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. We aim to provide clear communication and reliable service, please know that it is never our intention to cancel tours, but sometimes there are issues that lead us to take these kinds of hard decisions. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. Warm greetings from the entire quality team at Amigo Tours. Chelsea

Great Experience
We did the tour with Jane, and she was fantastic. Great stories, fun to tour with, and accommodated my elderly parents and their limited capacity. Arranged to get a wheelchair at parliament and was overall a joy! Would 100% recommend again!
Response from the operator: Dear peytong2020, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Jane! We're glad to hear she made your tour enjoyable and accommodated your parents so well. We look forward to welcoming you back on another tour soon! Best regards from the entire quality team at Amigo Tours. Chelsea

Great visit
We took the tour on March 30th and the crowds at Westminster Abbey were the most the guide had ever seen. Regardless, Jane did an excellent job of moving us through the Abbey and providing information. We also enjoyed the parliament tour and her commentary on the walk to it. Jane did a great job!
Response from the operator: Dear P3681FNphilw, We appreciate your kind comments and that you enjoyed the tour. We hope to see you again at another one of our tours. Best regards from the team at Amigo Tours, Lorena.

THIS TOUR IS SUPERB
Rebecca conducted an absolutely superb Tour of the House of Commons and Lords with wit and knowledge weaving together an immense knowledge of history alongside wonderful anecdotes that brought history alive. Her pace was pitch perfect giving enough history to be easily absorbed and retained. Cannot recommend her and the tour more highly. Thank you

Why this scores 41
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London 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 Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London 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 Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London?
+
Around 5 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 Private Tour to Westminster Abbey with optional Houses of Parliament in London 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.
