I bought tickets for the Tower of London first thing opening time and it was the best, it was a Friday morning at 9am and it wasn't that crowded. I was able to get into the crown jewels exhibit without waiting in line and look at the jewels for as long as I could! I toured the complex in about two hours taking a bit of a break and taking pictures. I recommend going at the time they open because then school groups of tourists arrive and everything gets crowded, the souvenir stores are great, but if you like history this place is a must see on your list of things to do in London.

Superb visit although the meeting point was not given (or I didn't understand). We arrived on time and went inside as indicated by the young ladies at the entrance with our tickets on the phone. We scanned an audio guide code at the entrance on the right and took a map. We started by visiting the crown jewels without queuing. What fun! We then saw an impressive queue forming, so we were very lucky. The rest of the tour went smoothly.

There are lots of exciting things to discover in the Tower, you could easily spend a whole day there. The crown jewels are a great highlight, it's best to save them for the end to avoid school classes and the like. The souvenir stores and kiosks are also very good. There are also numerous toilets throughout the site, so you rarely have to queue. The staff are very friendly & courteous/helpful. I would only advise against the audio guide, as the £5 for this quality is hardly worth it. My personal highlight was the ravens.

The guide told us that the changing of the guards was cancelled due to the weather. He offered everyone to stay with the tour who would still go round the attractions and monuments or we could end our tour there. We chose to go alone. We asked police about the changing of the guards and they said the guards would be changing but without the band due to the weather. We were so pleased to have left the guide as they went off and we stayed and saw the changing of the guards. Our guided tour was a waste of money.

Tower of London is the iconic monument of UK. There's heritage and history, generations of events talking inside. Maybe a little bit of direction in visiting it (like an order, or a list) could have helped

Everything well organized, with no queues or wasted time . Very interesting part of the crown jewels well displayed. They cannot be photographed, rightly so. I captured the famous royal ravens

The spot, objects and presentations were really great. We would have loved to be able to see more but did not realised the closing hour was 1 hour earlier than usual on winter
