At the Tower of London, I really liked the way the exhibits were designed. They were very varied and exciting to explore. The informational texts were insightful and informative, but not too detailed, so it was a pleasure to read through them. At Tower Bridge, I especially liked the small information panels in the stairwells; they provided details about, for example, the height, width, or the number of liters of paint needed to breathe new life into Tower Bridge. I also especially liked how the information was presented in the glass-enclosed walkways, which offered a wonderful view. My absolute highlight was the glass floor you could walk across, which made you feel like you were walking right over the Thames.

What an absolutely amazing experience! We started at 9am at London Tower, straight to the Crown Jewels and no waiting lines! Spent a few hours seeing all the things then jumped on the ferry to the London Eye. The ferry captain gave an entertaining and informative talk which we enjoyed greatly, even tipped him! Then onto the London Eye at 2:30pm. There was a daunting line up but we were whooshed through onto the fast line and didn't wait long at all. Absolutely stunning and impressive views of London in all of her beauty. I highly recommend this trio of things to do and this ticket is great value! Our tour was charging a fair bit more for the same experience and less time! Thanks team, it was amazing!

It was great. Very friendly people and guards. The coffee at the tower was bad and we had to wait long to get it. But the site made it all okay. I was marvelled by the crown jewels, finally understand why so many (old) stories and movies are about stealing them. I'm so glad we made this trip. Tower bridge was great as well. It looks very nice, but the main thing for me was the more modern day glass floor where you could see the trafic beneath you. Scary for some but I like it

I'm a history geek, so will always love historical buildings and the Tower delivered. It was a shame the bridge was closed on my chosen day to visit, due to the heatwave, but I got to walk across and see it's beautiful design. It was all really easy to book with Headout and easy to obtain a refund due to the closer, so really pleased with the service.

We had a packed itinerary at both locations. It started with the historic Tower of London and the magnificent Crown Jewels, and ended with the breathtaking Skywalk over Tower Bridge. It was a wonderful day full of memorable experiences that will stay with us forever.

Unlock the best of royal London with this convenient combo ticket. By pairing the ceremonial splendour of the Changing the Guard with the historic depths of the Tower of London, you save on admission while enjoying a seamless, expert-led experience of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Getting started

Your journey begins at Buckingham Palace for a guided introduction to royal tradition. Afterwards, use your included ticket to head to the Tower of London, where you can explore the fortress and the Crown Jewels at your own pace.

What to expect

Changing the Guard

Step into the heart of British pageantry. You’ll join a small group for a 1.5-hour walking tour designed to get you the best vantage points for the ceremony. Watch as the guards, clad in their famous red tunics and bearskin hats, march to the sound of a full military band.

Features:
