Westmister Abby - Great experience. It is beautiful and full of history. The auido guide needs update and the headphones are not disposable or clean them before distributing. The Abby was very crowded.

Stressful and confusing Entrance ticket info!! - Very confusing, you stated that you must have a printed ticket to enter and mobile techs were not be accepted. This was very stressful as a traveler and that we do not have a printer. I wrote to TripAdvisor and they also said I must have a printed one to enter and they would not reimburse me. It turned out mobile tips were completely accepted, so it was completely inaccurate information. You need to change us for this, I may give you a poor rating. I feel you should compensate us in someway. This was very very unnecessary stress.

Not worth it.. Buy your own ticket from Westminster Abbey if you plan to visit. - It would have been nice to state that it would take 2 hours in line before getting in for this I could have bought my own ticket and entered much sooner. Very
Disappointed with this one!!

Worst experience - I purchased the tickets in advance to avoid the queue. When I reached at the destination 12.30 I didn’t find the local guide for the tour. When I entered the queue to get inside the abbey ground staff informed me that it’s not ticket. My family had to wait in queue for 2 hours with freezing cold and get the tickets from the abbey entrance office, only good part was I don’t had to pay that time. If you are looking to skip queue and save time please buy tickets directly from the Westminster abbey website not from any other tour platforms. Worst experience ever.

Penalised for not booking direct - If you buy general admission tickets direct from the Abbey you skip the queue. For some reason they had one kiosk open to process hundreds of visitors who hadn’t booked direct like us. TWO HOURS of queuing outside in the cold. By the time we got into the Abbey we had enough time to quickly run around it before having to leave for our next activity.

Had to wait inline for 2 hrs before get in; overcrowded - We had to stand inline outside in the cold for 2 hrs after our check in time. After finally checked in, it’s shoulder to shoulder inside. They really limit the ticket they sell everyday. There’s skip the line option w 3 times the price so u don’t have to wait outside for 2 hrs (no place to sit). We spent 1 hr inside and skipped most details there as we had to catch a flight

Don’t purchase from this vendor - Don’t buy from this vendor. We bought tickets that said entry at 230. Guess what ? That means you just get to wait in however long the line is. Our line is currently 90 min long . Still not inside . If you purchase directly from the Westminster , you get direct entry. I tried to communicate with the vendor and no reply. Horrible !
