Information for the customer (Know before you go) - Please check your email the day before the tour to receive important information. - Please note that the number of attractions included in the itinerary depends on the selected option. Sightseeing in the City of Westminster and tickets to the Westminster Abbey are not included in a 2-hour tour. - 4-hour tour: due to abbey regulations, 1 licensed guide can lead a group of 1-20 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide. - Skip-the-line tickets to Westminster Abbey are reserved for a specific time slot, so it's important to arrive at the meeting point on time. You will save time by skipping the line at the ticket office. - Guided tours inside the churches during mass and special events (such as scheduled concerts) are limited, therefore the guide may provide all information outside. - Please note that the ceremony may be canceled last minute for reasons beyond our control. In this case you will not see the changing of the guards, but you will follow the royal route to the gates of Buckingham Palace.
