St. Paul's - Stunning building. We walked all the way to the top of the dome. Dramatic views from up there. You can see the entire city, no need to go to the Shard!

St Paul's Cathedral Highlights Tour - The best ticket I have purchased in London. Don't go for the self guided audio tour. The Highlights tour is included in the ticket price. Our guide was Paul. He brought the history of the building to life with his fantastic knowledge of the building and the people involved with it throughout its history. You can do the tour and then explore on your own with all the knowledge from the tour.

Amazing experience. - My wife and I visited over the May bank holiday weekend. it is a truly amazing building and I absolutely loved it. We climbed the 528 steps to the "Golden Gallery" and we were rewarded with absolutely amazing views over London. On the way to the top we passed through the Whispering Gallery (257 steps) and the Stone Galley (376 steps). The walk up to the top is worth the effort. We also went in the Crypt that was very interesting. The building is a great testament to Sir Christopher Wren and the many thousands of people who built it and have maintained it over the years,

Would highly recommend - Very good value for money as guided tour for the cathedral and headphones for the Crypt were included in the price. Our tour guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable, personable and had a sense of humour which made his talk fun. Would highly recommend the whole experience.

Beautiful Cathedral - Spectacular cathedral, just entered remains amazed of the frescoes inside. very nice also to climb and observe first the works from above and then, climb even more and observe the city from this magnificent cathedral. The crypt, also very beautiful although I liked it less than the rest. The price although a little high is worth it.

Beautiful cathedral with calming vibes - St. Paul has tours and also individual tours in the form of audio guides, which can be customized to a quick 30-minute tour that covers the highlights or a more in-depth tour, probably about 2 hours. I myself switched between the two; I did all highlights but sometimes I went more in depth depending on the location. I spent about 1-1.5 hours there. Regarding the audio tour, I loved the attention to the cathedral’s architecture. Considering how large the cathedral is, the organization did an excellent job explaining the layout and sites of importance. Never was I confused or lost! For the spaces that aren’t accessible (the galleries above), St. Paul’s provides audio/visual guides to take you up there. I only went to the first gallery, the Whispering Gallery. And let me tell you, the trek is not for the faint of heart! But it is pretty cool to see the cathedral from a different perspective, even just the first gallery. I’m not religious whatsoever, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable or anything like that. Depending when you visit, you may see a service, but no one is forced to partake. In the audio guide, the more in depth version included videos with parishioners, which can be skipped—no harm, no foul. Was this a must visit? That depends on your interests. The cathedral was beautiful and provided a unique experience; my London trip would’ve been complete without it, but I’m glad I visited anyway.

Open time entry was nice - It was nice experience. Beautiful church . We could have just bought tickets that day and entered in the same amount of time . May have just been lucky to go at a good time. I do like that this was not scheduled at a specific time .

A Great Experience - A great experience, seeing England’s only domed cathedral in the baroque style. The ceiling mosaics are phenomenal. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps if going up into the dome galleries. Only the lowest was open, but it was high enough! Overall very impressive and well worth the cost of entry.

A beautiful place to visit. - The lines can be very long so it is strongly suggested to buy your tickets in advance. Before entering the cathedral your bags will be checked but it is a very quick procedure, no inconveniance at all. In the cathedral you will find a beautiful mixture of classic and modern art and the cript worths a visit as well. The audio guide is very useful to get to know more about the cathedral and its highlights.
