4 reviews

You can't come to London without visiting Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and the famous Big Ben. On this tour, you'll gain insight into the roles and lives of MPs, Lords, and key officers across Parliament, and discover how and why Elizabeth Tower, its Great Clock and Great Bell, Big Ben, were built.

Meet your guide at the entrance to Westminster Abbey for a guided tour of the building, followed by a short self-guided audio tour of Parliament, where you'll enjoy picturesque views of golden spires and statues of kings reflected in the river.

Flanked by Victoria Tower, you'll learn about the history of Elizabeth Tower, better known as Big Ben, from the first medieval clock tower built at the old Palace of Westminster to the design and construction of the current structure. Don't miss the chance to visit one of London's most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
