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.

I paid for my ticket with an audio guide and they didn't recognize me. I had to pay for three audio guides again at the entrance. Bad experience. I didn't have a good experience. Two years ago, I went and the entrance was on the other side, and now they are renovating. You start the tour through the tower. In general, the tower is a place that should be visited because of its important history. I would not buy this app again.

It was really good, it can take an entire day to get through everything, the Yeoman was amazing, how does he remember so many details? Dress warmly on a cold day because the main tour is outside. The cafe was surprisingly reasonable too, compared to other London museums. Remember to bring your own headset & scan the QR code so you don't have to pay to rent their tour.

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!

On a cloudy, gloomy day, the walking tour was just so enriching and informative. Jeremy, my guide, was experienced and knowledgeable and his dash of Brit... err Scottish humour... made the tour so entertaining. He knew the right spots and right timings which made the tour fruitful and memorable!

    Tower of London was an amazing experience. We went specifically to see the crow jewels and it's an experience that can't be justified by simply telling someone they'd have to see if for themselves. Seeing them I was mesmerized it was a truely unforgettable experience
