Great Tour and worth the extra $$$ - Frank, our guide, is very knowledgeable and did a great job. The coffee/tea service before we began the experience was pleasant. Very easy to identify our group when arriving. Pay the extra for the priority tour instead of being one of the many walking zombies with the head sets.

Having a tour guide is a must! - John was a great guide. After seeing how busy the Abby was I would not suggest going in without a tour. Seeing the features and the tombs are amazing, but hearing the expanded stories was the best part.

A must for history lovers - Great tour. Our guide ( French accent, forgot her name), very informative and attentive. Too many people everywhere, but the Audio we were given was great help. To see where all the important people were buried and all important events are happening was great experience to visit. I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful but chaotic - Beautiful church but they allow way to many people in at the same time. Very difficult to enjoy and see the architecture with so many crammed in there.

Disappointed in Westminster and Eye - First , there is no audio device to hear the guide. It is VERY crowded and if any hearing issues it’s difficult to understand. The guide himself was good and easy to understand if you are close and your hearing is good. Second, I purchased with The Eye option. The eye ticket didn’t “ appear” from Viator. I contacted “ customer service” and was advised to notify the operator when we joined the tour. I did and was told they have no record of the eye ticket. So, I would not say this was worth the $240 I was charged.
