Enjoy an authorised private tour inside Westminster Abbey, place of burial of royalty, poets, statesmen and actors. Westminster Abbey has been the place of coronations and royal burial for a thousand years.

Westminster Abbey was once a Benedictine monastery, features of which still remain intact, see the arcaded stone cloisters, chapter house and strong room. Apart from the history, the abbey is also one of London's and Britain's most impressive buildings architecturally. The soaring vault and chapels are breathtaking.

Alternatively, have a private tour inside St Paul’s Cathedral, with its beautiful dome, one of the largest in the World. St Paul's is one of Britain's greatest buildings. The church was hewn from gleaming white Portland stone almost 300 years ago. A ten-year cleaning project has returned the church to its former magnificence. The interior view of the dome is awe-inspiring and giant marble statues of Britain's great military heroes grace the aisles. If you are feeling energetic, climb the 533 steps to the very top of the dome and be rewarded with incredible views of London.
