    We traveled through England, Wales and Scotland on our trip, and one of my favorite places was Parliament. Growing up hearing about Parliament, did not indicate that I knew much about how Parliament really worked or its traditions., although we did have an ancestor who served in the House of Commons. Our guide was David Watt and he was more than excellent. He was so knowledgeable about Parliament, its history and current workings, and he had a sense of humor. Also, being from the US, he was able to compare and contrast Parliament with American concepts. We really learned from our tour of Parliament and highly recommend it to anyone. If you are a history buff, we especially recommend a guided tour, particularly with David Watt.

    Really great tours - our guides Liz and Sue were both very friendly and knowledgeable and kept us on track. Westminster Abbey has a wealth of history and Liz brought everything to life and was able to answer any questions asked. The Houses of Parliament with Sue was also really interesting and Sue was able to give a wonderful overview of daily practice as well as the history. Skipping the queues meant that it was even better! Really enjoyed both tours. Thank you!

    It is a long tour, some parts can be skipped or done faster, crowded, in the abbey not very behind the scenes or skip the lines really

    Both Westminster Abbey and The Houses of Parliament were magnificent. I had forgotten how beautiful Westminster Abbey is inside. Going thru Houses of Parliament was fantastic, our tour guide took us to a place that is normally not open to the public, it is dressing room for the King Charles and Queen Camilla where they put on their robes and King Charles put on his crown. The room is near the house of lords, where he read the opening of Parliament from the current government. I would recommend taking this tour if you can it is worth it.

    Westminster Abbey

    Your day begins with skip the line entry into Westminster Abbey, the most serene time to see Britain’s most cherished church. With roots dating back over 1,000 years, this Gothic masterpiece is the traditional coronation site and burial ground of kings and queens, along with national heroes like Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and William Wilberforce. On your visit, you’ll learn from a local expert guide how the British monarchy helped shape the country’s conversion to democracy, as well as a few interesting tidbits about Winston Churchill, one of the only non-royals to ever lay in state in the Abbey after his death.

    Duration 90 minutes

    Houses of Parliament

    Then, discover The Houses of Parliament. Enjoy a guided tour of the British Democracy with a qualified, Blue Badge tour guide, instead of following the audio guide. Visit the Chamber of the House of Commons, where Britain’s elected Masters of Parliament meet. Head over to the chamber of the House of Lords, where peers who had inherited their titles from the bluest bloodlines in the nation used to sit. Learn the highlights of the building’s history, including a failed bomb plot in 1605 that the British still celebrate today (ever hear of Guy Fawkes Night?). Walk in the footsteps of Henry VIII and Winston Churchill. History, legend, lore, and a lot of pomp and circumstance mix and mingle as you take in nearly one thousand years of history from one of the best guides in London.
