Despite the crowds, everything went smoothly with the pre-booked tickets. We were guided efficiently through the attractions without feeling rushed. I found it so interesting—it’s London’s oldest landmark. I’m very interested in English history, so for me, it was an absolute highlight. I definitely want to mention the Tower guards—such friendly and charming gentlemen.

The Tower of London is absolutely stunning. It’s a beautiful building, both inside and out. You’re allowed to take photos everywhere except in the Crown Jewels section. It’s really wonderful to see all the jewels and regalia. There isn’t really a set route to follow, so you have to look around a bit to see everything. (A map made this easier.) Had a delicious meal at the café—great fish and chips and coffee.

We took the tour with Nathan. He shared lots of interesting facts and jokes, and knew exactly where to stand to get the best view of the changing of the guard. We stood at three different spots, and since we were always right up front, we had a perfect view. (There was a lot of pollen from the trees.)

Our visit to the Tower of London was a pleasant surprise. The rooms are steeped in history, and the view is stunning, offering a striking contrast between the historic, older part of the city and the modern part with its buildings. The tour of the Crown Jewels exhibition was absolutely beautiful and left us breathless.

Ordering the tickets was very easy, and I received them via email right away. The tour is excellent and lasts about two hours. It’s best to download the audio guide before you arrive—it’ll make things easier. In short, it’s a wonderful tour, a must-see in London, and booking is very easy.
