“As a third party vendor (e.g. Viator) these are low priority tickets, and will not get entry until Abby direct purchase tickets (same price) have entered. Had 9:30am tickets, but waited in line until 10:15am. By that time, the Abbey was packed. Later tickets would have been better. Enjoyed the architecture and the history. The audio guide is the only way you’ll know which tombs/crypts you can see.”

“Very chilly day but clear skies made it a pleasant trip round York. Interesting way to see the sights of this lovely city.”

“The tour of the castle was very informative and skip the line tickets made it easy to enter the castle. I like the audio guide as it moved quickly, covering the highlights and we were able to choose the exhibits we wanted to see.”

“DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR VIA 3rd party!!!! Book directly with the tour guide and DO NOT book the tour with the “live guide” (about $48 US per person) because it doesn’t include the hop on-off benefit AND you’ll pay less on the tour operator website. You are stuck on the bus for 2 hours with the driver you’ve got. No on-off privileges. Our guide (and older gentleman) spoke SO fast, mixing in English humor and sarcasm within such a thick accent that we couldn’t understand the majority of what he said. What we could understand, we couldn’t tell if he was joking or serious. It was terrible. Please go…”
