Westminster Abbey Private Tour: Statues, Saints, and the Coronation Chair

A group tour means sharing your guide's attention and pace with everyone else in line. This Westminster Abbey private tour is just your party and a Blue Badge guide, so the questions, the pace, and the focus of the visit are entirely yours.

No. This private tour does not include the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. It's focused entirely on Westminster Abbey and Parliament Square.

The tour meets at 6075 Niagara River Parkway, in the garden across from the main steps. Look for your guide in a yellow vest holding a yellow Walks sign. The tour ends nearby at Niagara Parkway, 5920 Niagara River Parkway.

Yes, to an extent. Your guide covers the Abbey's essential highlights, the Coronation Chair, the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, Poets' Corner, and more, but because it's a private tour, you can ask to spend more time in the areas that interest you most.

No. Photography isn't permitted inside Westminster Abbey, with one exception: the Cloisters, where you'll have a chance to take photos.

Yes, with a little planning. The stops are close together and each one involves sitting rather than standing for long stretches, though some venues have a step or two at the entrance. Let us know your needs when you book, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect at each stop.

This tour works well for families, and the self-guided Palace visit gives kids room to explore at their own pace.

Wear comfortable walking shoes. Expect to cover about a mile on foot, and note that all guests pass through security and possible bag searches before entering the Abbey.

Yes, a group version of this tour is also available if a private experience isn't what you're looking for.

The tour runs rain or shine, so dress for the weather and bring an umbrella if needed.

Gratuities aren't included in the price, though they're appreciated if your guide made the visit a little easier.
