Westminster Abbey birthday trip 2023
Catherine_R, June 2023
Westminster Abbey was so awesome to see in person after seeing it only on TV. This place is beautiful and the story our guide gave was so interesting. I would definitely love to come back and most definitely will recommend a trip here.

Don’t use Amigo tours
Deborah_O, June 2023
The company never showed up. Other people also standing around us … no one showed up to meet us. The Abbey admin wanted the group name said we were not the only ones that got stood up by Amigo tours. Will be asking for my money back since we all had to get our own way in again. We checked with security when we were done. They said this company was a scam.
Response from Host, June 2023
Amig@ Deborah_O We are very sorry for what we have experienced. We have a record of your reservation as a "No Show". We understand your discomfort, however, we have had other clients who had no problem finding the meeting point in time to start their activity. Dulce, Amigo Tours
Never use Amigo Tours UK through TripAdvise/Viator
Maria_D, May 2023
Our Parliament tour has been booked via Tripadviser and we organized our London's 3-days schedule based on this booking. However, when we came to the meeting point, no tour guide appeared. We came 20 min before the scheduled time and waiting one hour after that. Nobody has shown up. We tried to call to tour operator - Amigo Tours UK - using our roaming (we are from the USA and did not have a local phone), however, we were able to record our call on a recording machine only. Finally, we waisted a lot of time, we broke our day plans, we we very disappointed and angry. In several days we got the following e-mail from the Amigo Tours UK : "dear valued client, we are very sorry for the late response, and the inconvenience, we proceed with the total refund. thank you". That's it. The company like Amigo Tours UK strongly put down the reputation of TripAdviser/Viator and I strongly suggest to terminate a contract with the Amigo Tours UK.
Response from Host, June 2023
Amig@ Maria_D We apologize for this situation. We had to cancel the tour due to force majeure, but we have registered that this notice was sent to you with enough time in advance Dulce, Amigo Tours
Informative
Bella_G, May 2023
A great and informative tour! Our guide Richard was thoughtful and incredible. It was a bit long, but worth it. There was breaks and opportunities to sit. Westminster Abbey is a must see in London and this tour was a perfect way to see and understand it.
Response from Host, May 2023
Amig@ Bella_G We are delighted to hear that you had a pleasant experience, and we hope to be at your service again on your next trip. Dulce, Amigo Tours
Great experience with a tour guide
martynnicoll, May 2023
Such a special day with our tour guide Jane. We all thought her knowledge was incredible but she made history fun and enjoyable. Thank you

Amig@ martynnicoll The day was so special thanks to you, for having been part of this experience Dulce, Amigo Tours
History versus politics
Alexander_I, May 2023
Impressive part of English history and culture! Unfortunately you are not allowed to make pictures, which decreases your future memories and feelings. Watching images online and in books helps, but not connecting you personally to the place. Audio guide pays to much attention to political system.
Response from Host, May 2023
Amig@ Alexander_I thank you very much for having been part of this experience and for your observation, we will take it into account.
Wonderful Tour
Angela_Y, May 2023

Be careful when booking the package, it may be cancelled even that morning when you arrive!
Peter_W, May 2023
We purchased train tickets for this joint event of Westminster Abbey Tour and Houses of Parliament. We arrived at the designated spot with our confirmation email but the guides told us we could not do the Houses of Parliament as it was over subscribed. There was no further discussion we were told to contact the tour operator and to make a decision whether we wanted to see Westminster Abbey or cancel everything. Great, the train wasn't cheap either. We contacted the agent that day, but still haven't heard anything back.
Response from Host, May 2023
Amig@ Peter_W The coronation has brought complications that are difficult to manage, but now everything is fine, we are very sorry for the discomfort caused Dulce, Amigo Tours
Poor meeting place directions
Renee_D, May 2023
Tour guide Jane was great. Your directions to the meeting place are not clear. The specific directions to meet next to the Abbey Store are not listed under “directions “ but only under “tickets”. This causes us to be very late as there were hundreds and hundreds of people in dean’s Yard. .
Response from Host, May 2023
Amig@ Renee_D We appreciate your comments, We try to be very clear in our directions so that anyone unfamiliar with the site will have no trouble finding us. Dulce, Amigo Tours
Westminster Abbey
Lisa_D, May 2023
The Abbey was beautiful! Our tour guide could have been better. He talked in a low monotone voice. We lost interest so finished tour on our own.
Response from Host, May 2023
Amig@ Lisa_D Thank you very much for being part of this experience. We take into account your comments. Dulce, Amigo Tours
