Tower of London: Booking was very easy. I received a WhatsApp message with the tickets, and that was it. Super easy. There was no line on site, even though it was the Easter break. We spent a lot of time at the Tower of London because we listened to the audio tour. You can download it to your phone using a QR code. The code is right at the entrance, next to the maps. Don’t forget your headphones. During the day, the line for the Crown Jewels was about 30 minutes long. By evening, there was no one there anymore.

Visiting the Tower of London with my family was one of the highlights of our visit to London and something to be enjoyed by every age. We visited with my parents who are in their seventies as well as our youngest child. All equally enjoyed the experience, relaxed atmosphere and even though it was a very busy time in the Easter holidays, didn't feel crowded and we only had a few queue that went quickly. An amazing experience for everyone!

Like a lot of attractions in the UK not the cheapest day out for a family but in this case well worth it. We spent about 5 hours there and could have stayed longer. The Yeoman guard tour (included) is well worth it. I was last at the Tower 30 years ago,this was a return visit with my kids. The entry,signage, information,tours and facilities were great. A fabulous historical tour

My visit to the Tower of London was truly memorable. The experience was smooth from start to finish, and accessing the Crown Jewels felt like stepping into history. The atmosphere, the stories, and the sense of heritage made the entire visit incredibly special. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to explore one of London’s most iconic landmarks.

Headout made it easy for me to buy tickets for myself and my family, but most importantly, it gave us the chance to choose a wonderful and unique experience at the last minute. Thanks to its suggestions, our stay in London is turning out to be more and more interesting and anything but boring. The value for money is excellent, too.

A magnificent abbey with nearly a thousand years of history. A jewel of London. In addition to its architecture, it is famous for the tombs of kings and queens, as well as distinguished British citizens (for example, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Charles Dickens are buried in the abbey, and among the recently deceased, Stephen Hawking). The abbey houses the coronation throne of British monarchs.

    Unfortunately, the groups for the guided tours are too large; I could only catch half of what was being said. So I had to buy an audio guide as well and ended up missing out on the entertaining commentary. Be sure to allow plenty of time—there’s a lot to see.

    It was a great deal combined. Tower of london and Westminster Abbey. We really enjoyed listening to one of the Beefeaters. He was funny, but also full of great info!

    Getting into the tower was quick. The Crown Jewels and the White Tower were particularly interesting. I highly recommend a visit.
