I'm trying to book it through the Abbey website. I've followed the path several times and can't do so. In fact, even though I click on "Book Abbey and Highlights Tour Tickets" I never reach the Highlights option.
It starts by booking entry to the Abbey: date, time, number of visitors, galleries. Then gets to the "Tours" section, and the only one listed is the "Medieval Monastery Tour". And that says "tickets are not available for selected date or time".
The next steps go through guidebooks and collectibles, then it goes to the payment screen. Never a mention of Hidden Highlights. I've tried almost all the dates with the same result.
The lead page says that Hidden Highlights is offered during September but I'm at a loss. I can only see three possibilities:
- The tour is fully booked and they never say so. This seems odd, especially since they specify that the Medieval Monastery Tour isn't available.
- I'd have to book Abbey entry then hope Highlights will show up after that.
- I'm a dunderhead and am doing something drastically wrong.
I've been to the Abbey three times so I don't want to risk £52 (2 seniors) for just that, without knowing I can get the Highlights tour. Can anyone shed light on this?
Thank you.
