Lovely abbey! The tour...

Lovely abbey! The tour guide was knowledgeable but not personable. No eye contact and hard to hear. Also not given alot of alone time in the abbey. Then again the abbey was JAM PACKED!

good tour without the opinions

it is quite comprehensive. i did not care for the guide's personal observations regarding prince harry. that was a bit much and uncalled for. it robbed her of a tip.
