Westminster Abbey is a... - Westminster Abbey is a must see! The abbey was packed with people, but everyone seemed to have spatial awareness and not bumping into each other or pushing to move along. The audio guide was invaluable and informative. I highly recommend this tour.

A walk in the abbey! - Nice to not be rushed, even with a steady group of humans. To be self paced and go back and listen again was very helpful as we felt pushed a few times.

Look up!! - Can be crowded. But guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. Did not use the audio guide as it is better to look up and experience the building.

Learned a lot. More info needed - Audio guide was informative and of a reasonable length. There were, however, too many unlabled sarcophagi not mentioned in the audio.

Worth your Time - The directions for the meeting point were not accurate. We ended up in the Deans Yard ( which was nice to see) when we should have been on the opposite side of the cathedral. The audio tour was very well done and informative. I’m glad we were there in the first hour since it got very busy.

Unguided Walking Tour with an error on ticket - Ok walking tour. We had trouble knowing where to go to get in as the area is somewhat confusing. Also, our tickets only showed two visitors whereas we paid for three. We all did get in after showing our electronic payment on Viator. Busy church with a lot of activity. A huge number of tombstones, too many to see with the volume of people everywhere.

Misleading tour ticket - Refused admission after 2 attempts as the ricket was considered a "thitd party ticket" so directed to the end of a very long waiting line. Gave up as wait too long.
