Very easy to navigate around, great history and glad we did this experience! Renting the audio tour was worth the 5 pounds

Great day out. A place dripping in English history. Fabulous tour with Beefeater 409 Scott Kelly, kept his audience hooked for 45 minutes with his dark & dastardly tales, all delivered in a highly amusing style 😉. Would recommend to visitors of all ages young & old. You could spend a whole day here.

The London Tower was great for kids. My two little girls loved the crown jewels and watching the guards. The Poppy installation was beautiful and great views of Tower Bridge. The ticket process was smooth.

Awesome to experience. Upon our initial arrival we found the information a bit confusing to work out but once we were on track we found the Tower of London very interesting. Make sure you jump in on a tour inside the tower, and also be aware of cost for self-guided tour and the line up to get into see the Crown Jewels. The location is amazing.

Very enjoyable visit to see the Tower of London. The Yeoman Warder was very entertaining and knowledgeable. 1000 years of history means you could spend a whole day at the Tower.

Not much information regarding what to do or where to go when you arrive. Very confusing and stressful.

Our yeoman warder tour guide was a pro—a talented stand-up comedian as well as a font of fascinating information. I did the Tower on my own a few months ago and did this tour my second time (for my husband’s first visit) and would suggest anyone sign up. It sets you up for time spent on our own on the Tower grounds after the tour.
