For those who have taken this tour, how much time do you spend in the Queen's Gallery? I am trying to decide whether to just get Queen's Gallery tickets or the Hidden Highlights tickets. I have already taken a Verger tour and not sure how much repeat other than the Edward Confessor Shrine there is in Hidden Highlights and Verger tours.

We took the HH tour in April and would 100% recommend it. The tour ends in the Queen's Gallery and you are left to explore there as long as you'd like. While I can't comment on any overlapping with the Verger Tour, I can say HH was a highlight of our entire trip. The burial grounds were fascinating, and we also got into many very behind the scenes areas that I didn't even know existed.
It was very much worth the time and money and left us with a much deeper understanding of the Abbey.

Thanks, planning queen. That is precisely what I needed to know. I love the Abbey and visit almost every time I go to London, but haven't been since the Queen's Gallery opened.
