“We waited in a long line-cold and windy- for the self-guided audio tour for twenty minutes, only to see other visitors entering in a second entrance. I do not know if they were having a tour or not. I asked the employee why they were getting to more quickly enter and was told - "they bought their tickets on Westminster Abbey's website: Should check out both website before purchasing any type of tour,”
