I wasn't sure if this was going to be a worthwhile trip but my family and I found the tower of London to be a fascinating place. There's obviously the crown jewels to see but there is so much more besides. Each different building is unique and worth going in for a look. The audio guide is worth getting, if only so you know what you're looking at

The first thing that really impressed us was how quickly we were able to get in, despite the large crowd. The entire setting is very charming and well-maintained. The jewelry is wonderful. It takes at least two hours to explore the place at a leisurely pace. In the garden, we also saw crows and police officers. I recommend a visit to everyone. A wonderful experience.

The combined purchase price made it possible to see both places. We had no problems at the Tower but had to stand in two queues at Kew. I'm a disabled person and standing in queues doesn't fo me any favours. Both places were well worth seeing, it tickets were easy to find in the app, and could be accessed offline. Would happily use this site/ app again

Getting in was super fast—no line—and I was able to go in 10 minutes early. The audio guide was fantastic, the instructions were clear, and I learned a lot. The highlight was, of course, the Crown Jewels—I’ve never seen anything like them before. All in all, I spent 2 hours and 50 minutes there, and I thought it was great!
