St. Paul’s is great, but Viator is terrible. I thought I was buying a ticket direct from the venue, but Viator forced me to use their app, which didn’t allow me to put my ticket in an Apple Wallet. Their app appears to have the sole purpose of trying to sell me other trips. When a company puts their own interest ahead of their customers, that is the definition of a bad company. For all I know, I probably overpaid for the tickets as well. Phooey!
Really enjoyed the option of a free guided tour, the same thing on audio guide, or the express audio guide. The stairs are great and views amazing. Lots of good exercise.
Good basic overview of St Paul’s. 30 minutes long. Works well with handset with admission ticket. Good introductory information.
ETicket worked great. St Paul’s Cathedral was a great experience. The steps to the dome were well worth it. There are 2 stop levels to enjoy and catch your breath before reaching the top. Great experience!
This was a lovely experience in this beautiful cathedral. We enjoyed the entire walk through and the peaceful ambience.
Wonderful experience but do on your own time with audio guide. Our volunteer guide for highlight tour got lost on some of info
A wonderful place. We attended Evensong on Sunday afternoon and did a self-guided tour. I highly recommend both a worship experience and tour, including the climb to the top!
Beautiful Cathedral, lots of history and the best part, we had a guided tour vs using the headsets!! I highly recommend!!
The traffic was horrible so I got there at 9:06am and I did the tour alone 😔 but I used the voucher from VIATOR to get in.
Awesome church
Easy access and allows for all the time you need to explore the vast cathedral and the burials in the crypt below.
The headset had an annoyingly loud buzz that was hard to remedy. The tour guide, Laura, was soft spoken but very good.
Take your time and go through the entire audio options. Great information and perspectives. You can move at your own pace.
Cathedral fab
Guide excellent
Really loved it
You can spend hrs there
The stories about all the history is unreal
This is a wonderful site to visit. We were greeted very politely by the staff and joined a tour tour with a volunteer guide for no extra charge. The tour was excellent as the guide points out highlights within the cathedral and crypt underneath. You can even climb to the upper galleries if you wish. I highly recommend going up to at least the stone gallery for a great view of London.
We visited St. Pauls during the very busy August tour season, but it was not as crowded as other venues within London such as Westminster Abbey and the Tower.
Easy entrance into the Cathedral. Our time was 20:00 am and we were able to enter early. Thus enabled us to join the 10:00 your given by the guides in St. Paul’s.
Obviously this is a lovely building but we also had the benefit of a very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide (Diana) to show us around. Highly recommended.
This was our second stop on our private tour with David on August 14th. Again he dropped us very close and gave us instructions on the layout.
The cathedral was amazing. The art work, stain glass and overall architecture was breathtaking. The crypt had some interesting exhibits. Once again you can spend hours in this location if you take time to see it all in detail.
Easy access. Complementary tours were provided once inside that gave great information and access to parts of the cathedral the general public doesn’t see.
IN some ways this was the best tour I did on ALL my excursions over my 14 days in London. This tour was not expensive, easy access to Cathedral then for no extra money, they immediately set me up with a small group guided by Jane.
This tour was excellent and highly recommended. I wish it were a bit longer as there is so much history. Highlights for me were all the notables in the crypt. Horatio Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and the architect of the Cathedral, Sir Christopher Wren.
Not a tour. Just an alternate way to purchase tickets.
Just use the website as the app is far harder to pay with.
In person guides said that they were at capacity even though we had reserved timeslot ticket. Because they were not able to accommodate us we were only able to the audio tour.
This was an audio tour and it was very good you and go at your own pace Cathedral is beautiful and worth it
My friend made it to the top, but I didn’t try it. The view was beautiful, but I settled for pics. The interior is gorgeous, lots of history. Audio guide was sufficient.
The Architecture of this church is simply amazing and gorgeous.
I like having the opportunity just to casually stroll around and observe things in my own timing
The cathedral is amazing. We took the many steps to the upper levels. Incredible views, glad we were there early as parts of stairs are very narrow.
We put this tour through Viator. Saint Paul’s Cathedral is amazing and worth taking the tour in order to see places within the cathedral, that you would not otherwise be able to access. Once inside the cathedral, you will need to go to the tour desk to be assigned to a guide. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of of the cathedral and we were able to visit the crypt to see the Duke of Wellington‘s monument. Overall, this was a nice tour and a good experience.
Alex E. was a great guide. He was able to answer all questions- a wealth of historical facts about Oxford University. I enjoyed the tour and recommend the tour to better understand the different colleges within the university.
The audio tour is good. I would not tour without it. There are over 800 steps to the top of the dome. I would not recommend it for anyone with health or leg problems.
Not too crowded for a Tuesday afternoon. I did walk to the top (all 528 steps). There are lots of buildings with great views of the city if walking up spiral steps isn't your idea of fun. There was a nice breeze at least. The church is stunning and lunch in the cafe was delicious.
