“Phil is literally the best guide you could ever wish for, what a delight it has been to learn a little more about beautiful London from his experience! Westminster Abby is absolutely gorgeous, there is so much to see and so much to learn about it. If you are into history or just facinating architecture, the abby is your place to be. But that wasnt all! Phil is able to tell you something about practically every corner stone of London, making the royal walk feel like your favorite schooltrip through the busy streets. We highly recommened this tour!”

“This was my husband’s first time through Westminster, though my 2nd. I did the audio guide my first time, however. I can say this made this experience sooo much more enjoyable! Our guide, Matt Ware, was not only knowledgeable, but seemed to thoroughly enjoy sharing what he knew, which is always infectious. He knew his history, had great tips on the best photo ops, had interesting lore to share, and mixed in humor here and there to make it all more enjoyable.”
