Combo (Save 8%): Tower of London + St. Paul’s Cathedral Tickets

Arriving early secured us a first-class experience. The Tower is defined by museum rooms that are well curated and lovingly arranged. The staff is always on hand, helpful, and friendly. For Halloween, there was extra decoration across the grounds, which was lovely to see. And... the audio tour is absolutely top-notch. Thank you so much for this experience. The flight on the London Eye was very well organized despite the massive crowds and an absolute highlight. The views over central London were breathtaking. We were completely satisfied here as well.

An impressive cathedral with equally impressive catacombs where prominent figures are buried. There is an option to grab food and drinks, and there is a spacious shop with lovely souvenirs.

An absolute must-see when you are in London. If you have the chance, definitely go all the way to the top. Beautiful panoramic view of the city. The crypt is also well worth a visit. Allow at least 2 hours.

The actual experience of visiting both Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral was excellent. The only issue we encountered was the lady doing the initial screening of tickets (out of the grounds of the Abbey) said combo tickets through a third-party provider weren't accepted. She was adamant but after a few moments of discussion she waved us through to the ticket counter inside the Abbey. The lady in there was very good and said they were fine (thankfully). Had no issues at St Paul's

The Crown Jewels and the ramparts are impressive. The entire tour with the audio guide was interesting. We visited as a family with 4 kids aged 7 to 12, and we thought it was a shame there wasn't a more fun and interactive way for children to discover the place and its history. On top of that, it was extremely crowded. They enjoyed Tower Bridge much more.

At 8:00 AM, we walked along the Thames from the Harriott Hotel by the London Eye (which we booked this morning through this app) to the Tower, arriving right on time at 8:45 AM. We still had to wait about 45 minutes until entry, but that is normal and wasn't an issue at all in the sunny weather! Following the advice we’d received, we headed straight over to the Crown Jewels exhibition. That collection is truly impressive! The other areas are all interestingly designed as well. The entire castle and all its sections are in very good, well-maintained, and restored condition. You’d never believe that the Tower has several hundred years under its belt! The guards are all very friendly, but also take their duty very seriously! They are happy to let you take photos, but putting an arm around their shoulder—which one female tourist tried to do—was politely declined! The restrooms are also in very good condition. As a German, it's nice to see that some signs also provide information in German! However, exploring some of the areas does require good physical fitness. In the White Tower, you first walk through all 3 floors twice along the length and twice across the width before winding your way back down inside one of the turrets! The minimum 3 hours you should plan to see most areas fly by very quickly! If, like us, you also opt for Tower Bridge admission with a slightly cheaper combo ticket, take the stairs instead of the elevator (which we only noticed once we reached the top), and then walk all the way back to the hotel, you are guaranteed some serious muscle soreness the next day if you're an out-of-shape tourist! The meticulously maintained Engine Rooms of Tower Bridge are also very interesting. The steam engine looks so pristine that you’d think it was just built! Though back when it was still coal-fired, it probably looked a bit dustier! The rich green with contrasting pin-striping painted on all the moving parts shows that true craftsmen who loved their trade were at work here! All in all, a fantastic combo trip that is well worth doing twice in a lifetime! It’s a pity, though, that no guided tours are offered in German, but you rarely find those at British attractions anyway...
