Visiting the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London was a great experience overall. The jewels themselves are impressive and well displayed, though it can get quite crowded at times. A real highlight was the free Yeoman Warder tour — it was entertaining, informative, and added a lot of context to the history of the Tower. Definitely worth doing and made the visit even better. Overall, a memorable stop in London.

We really enjoyed our trip to beautiful Windsor castle. The 1000 years of history which made this country what it is, takes your breath away, and actually puts life into perspective! The beauty and work involved in rebuilding the hall after the fire in 1992 is something to see. I would recommend everyone should visit, it really is the best of Britain.

Better than the Buckingham Palace tour. It helps if you watched "Victoria" on PBS. Great self paced audio tour of the palace and gardens. Make sure you go to the sunken gardens by the cafe and see the Princess Diana statue.
