Skip-the-line tickets allow you to get in faster without queuing at the ticket office. The guide will provide all commentary outside Catenbury Cathedral, so that you can explore it at your own pace without disturbing the service. You will skip the line at the ticket office. We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a large van for groups of 5 people and more. If you're traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a tour for 5 people to take advantage of the van transport. Lunch / table reservations can be arranged upon request.
