Absolutely awesome place, went when the poppy display was on for the memorial. Got to see everything, crown jewels, the tower of London and other surrounding buildings. Was a brilliant day out. Highly recommended A+++

Great day out. Went on a weekend and not too busy outside of peak season. Crown Jewels clearly the highlight, and didn’t disappoint - displays nicely spaced out, not too much content to overload younger ones and up to date, but there’s also so much more to see. Poppy display was superb, exotic animals, Yeoman tour and White Tower also worth the time, with the latter having interactive area for children. Nice day out and good to take a picnic (though not lots of spaces to sit and eat).

Wonderful experience. We travelled to Waterloo by train and hopped on boat to London Bridge for the Tower which was easy and entertaining. The Tower was fascinating, such history. The poppy installation was fantastic. A really good day.....but you need comfy walking shoes!

Amazing! This was one of my favorite tours while in london. We bought our tickets which cost about $48. Place was packed. There is a cafe and a small gift shop inside, bathrooms of course. I would plan on spending at least 2 hours here if not 3. And then of course there's the crown jewels that speak for themselves. So much history here and so much to see I loved everything about this!

Our guide was Filomena. I found it a bit unexpected that an Italian woman would guide us through London and unfortunately she doesn't think much of the lovely pubs. The English was sometimes difficult to understand (especially when walking, in the wind and street noise) and the tour was different to what was described. There was no cruise (why would we meet at the London Eye then). She was also late and had her plastic rubbish with her?! She wasn't informed about who we were up to on Bank Holiday and so on... we did take some things, but I definitely hadn't imagined it would be that way.

Guide was lovely but the actual tour didn’t match the description given. Didn’t get to see the Kings guard or go into the Museum. Not sure what the ‘cruise ship’ activity was. It was also a walking tour but that was not mentioned in the activity.
