St Paul’s Cathedral ticket and tour reviews
Six GetYourGuide listings get you inside St Paul’s Cathedral, and between them they carry 14,136 traveller ratings. Two products own 14,111 of those. The other four share 25 reviews. I have read every published review on all six and written each one up honestly, which mostly means telling you when a rating is too thin to lean on.

The score is the easy part and the least useful. What I look at first is the count underneath it, then the itinerary, then whether the thing I actually care about — entry to the cathedral, and access to the dome galleries — is written into the inclusions rather than implied by the photographs.
Nine, eleven, three, two. Those are the review counts on four of the six listings here. A score built on that many opinions is a rounding error with a decimal point after it, and I would rather say so than let a green 4.8 do work it has not earned. Judge those four on what is written in the itinerary — the route, the hours, whether cathedral entry is actually included — and treat the star rating as decoration until the count grows.
The two products with real sample sizes tell you more by disagreeing. The entry ticket sits at 4.7 across 11,056 reviews, which is about as settled as a rating gets. The London Pass sits at 4.2 across 3,055, and that gap is not sloppiness on anyone’s part. A pass rewards a particular way of travelling and punishes every other way, so a chunk of buyers were always going to come away unimpressed. I go into that on the London Pass review.
Start somewhere else if you already know what you want
If you have decided you just want in, read the entry ticket review and check the opening hours before you pick a date, because Sunday is the trap. If you want somebody talking you round the City, the guided tours page lines the walking options up side by side. For everything at once, there is all tickets and tours and the plain-English ticket structure.

Frequently asked questions
Which St Paul’s ticket has the most reviews?
The straight entry ticket, with 11,056 ratings at 4.7. Nothing else on this site comes close except the London Pass at 3,055. Read the entry ticket review for what those reviews actually complain about.
Can I trust a 5.0 rating from three reviews?
No, and I would not want you to. Three people agreeing is three people agreeing. The private tour review explains what to judge that product on instead, which is the language choice and the pacing.
Are these reviews independent?
I write them, I am not the cathedral and I am not a tour operator. I earn a commission if you book through a link here, which is set out in full on the affiliate disclosure page. It does not move the numbers, because the numbers are GetYourGuide’s and I only report them.
