This is so worth the money we spent 5 hrs wandering around the grounds and rooms. If you love history this is just the place. I have visited before but my husbands first time and he loves it. Plenty of snack carts around and a huge cafe with great selection (expensive but it’s London) My favourite is the Crown Jewels we waited until lunch to go here as there was very little queue but you have to move fast in here so the line goes quickly. One of London’s main attraction and all tourists should save time for this

Very interesting tour. The Beefeater tour that begins the tour is very crowded, and the Beefeater guide, even though he has a very loud voice, can be hard to hear with the large crowd of people that are typically in a the group. But, what we could hear was very informative and entertaining. After the Beefeater presentation, individual time to explore.

It was an absolutely awesome visit. My sister and I had a wonderful time there. Midweek visit was clearly a good choice, not crowded at all.
We saw the Crown Jewels and had a very informative chat about them with one of the security staff. We took a guided tour with a Yeoman guard, and he introduced himself as Shady Lane (Andy), I believe.
He was informative, patient, funny, eloquent, and professional. Please thank him again from a couple of ex QA's.
Highly recommended.
I noted some very well run school activities, too, with interactive experiences for children.
The café was very good, with a good selection of diverse choices in a large, clean, and pleasant environment.
For London, we thought the prices were very reasonable.
The, inevitable, gift shops were well planned out and offered a good variety of pocket money affordable merchandise, along with more luxury items too.
A fascinating peep into a bloody history but also marked with a clear respect for those who lost their lives, to the executioners axe

This tour was fantastic. Our beef eater guide was exceptional. A very informative and insightful tour with a touch of humour to make it all that more interesting. There was so much to see after our guided tour, so I recommend you set aside at least two hours to get a full value. The price was worth it, and I would recommend it to others highly!

We took the guided tour with a Beefeater named Niv. He was outstanding. Without amplification he was able to speak to a crowd of about 50 people with a very conversational voice. He shared the history of the tower in a family-friendly way, adding in quite a bit of humor along the way. The guided portion of the tour took about 45 minutes and was engaging for the whole time. Afterward he was more than happy to stay for pictures and to answer individual questions. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. If I were doing this venue again, I would plan to spend most of a day for exploring the tower and the other interesting things to see near the tower.
It happened that on the day that we were there, a Tuesday, there was no queue to see the crown jewels. That exhibit was truly amazing. We also walked through the entirety of the white tower which was also fascinating. There was no guided tour there but if you took the time to ask the various wardens questions they were a wealth of knowledge.
We came late in the day and so didn't have time to also do the audio guided self tour, but we wished we had. We also did not have time to see the fusiliers museum. I would say that to really experience what's inside the walls of the Tower of London, you need a minimum of 4 hours.

One of the most historical places on earth. Every square inch of this property has a story to tell. I spent five hours exploring this property. If you are history buff this is the place to be.

My electronic tickets were not sent to me. The gentleman at the gate helped me get my tickets at the ticket booth using the confirmation number.

The tour was fantastic!! Learned so much and enjoyed the entire time there. The people that did the tour live there and explained what an honor it is to be there. We also enjoyed seeing the Crown Jewels.

Beefeater tour was great, Tom did a great job walking thru the rich history of the Tower of London. There was no wait to see the Crown Jewels so it was a nice thing to see.
