Westminster was extremely... - Westminster was extremely busy. Even with timed tickets, it seemed like there was just a steady stream of people. Nick, our guide, did a good job of keeping us together and providing as much information as possible without a personal audio system. Additional time to see the altar and be able to look around would have been appreciated, but the roping off off certain areas so you couldn't backtrack didn't help. At Parliament, we only did the highlights audio tour, which was fine, but probably would have been better if we did the full tour or had a guide.

Horrible Experience- no show guide. - The guide sent an email the late the night before that the guide would be 45 minutes late. Day of the tour the guide never showed and we were not able to see inside the Westminster Abbey. Feels like a scam to me. Do not book with this tour operator.
