We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral.  She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.

Visita piacevole e ben organizzata con le audio guide che descrivono in modo divertente i vari punti di riferimento durante il percorso. Nessun problema di code per accedere ne durante la visita della cattedrale di St Paul's e Westminster Abbey.
