What a beautiful place to visit, but do not use the public toilets as you come on to the island as they are disgusting, take a walk up the the abbey and use the ones opposite in the gift shopFull review by diane f

Hello TowerTwo, Thank you for your review. How long can you visit the Abbey and Nunnery in one day? I'm trying to reserve tickets and am asked to select a date and time. If I select a specific time (say 10:00), are we able to visit for a while and come back later in the day on the same ticket? Or are we restricted to that 30-minute slot of time? Thank you, Kathy
A:
As far as I know, you can stay as long as you like once you’re in, not limited to 30 mins that’s only the entry time. Don’t know about re-entry, I went late afternoon so didn’t consider re-entry.
We will be in Tobermory for one day in late June 2017 off of a cruise ship. Dock at 8:00 am and back on board by 4:00 pm. Is there any guide who could pick up a party of 4 and do a drive/tour to Iona Abbey in sufficient time?
A:
The cruise line will almost certainly be running a tour there. It will take all day. 2.5 hours each way but more than worth it.
