Visiting the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London was a great experience overall. The jewels themselves are impressive and well displayed, though it can get quite crowded at times. A real highlight was the free Yeoman Warder tour — it was entertaining, informative, and added a lot of context to the history of the Tower. Definitely worth doing and made the visit even better. Overall, a memorable stop in London.

It's great 👍🏻 I highly recommend the experience, you learn a lot about the history of this monument as well as the history of the crown in general. From the age of knights to various wars, both recent and distant, the immersion is total 👌🏼 And what can I say about the crown jewels? They are simply magnificent. 🤩 I highly recommend it.

This event was absolutely amazing. The changing of the guard was fascinating to see and the guide ( unfortunately I forgot the name I think it was Alex tho) he was very kind, funny and gave us so much insight. I would really recommend this if you have children that like that type of stuff it I'd really cool. Thank you so much for this nice experience!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Tower of London: it was a truly fascinating experience. In addition to the Crown Jewels, you can visit many other historic structures such as the White Tower and the surrounding walls, all rich in history and perfectly preserved, offering interactive experiences that are both entertaining and educational. The surrounding park is beautiful and well-maintained, making the visit even more enjoyable; with a little luck, you can even see squirrels. The presence of marching guards helps to create a truly regal and evocative atmosphere. The history is explained in a clear and engaging way: the signs along the route are very clear, making it easy to find your way around and always know what to see and where to go. I noticed great attention to cleanliness, organization, and safety, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Buying tickets was also simple, fast, and intuitive: the website is clear and well-structured. In conclusion, a wonderful experience from every point of view, highly recommended.
