Our family visit to the Tower was delightful and surprisingly easy. The audio tour was fascinating for the adults and our five year-old saw everything she was looking forward to, except an actual video of a beheading. We had to manage the tour with a three-month old, but pram parking and changing facilities were convenient. The nature and quality of the food surprised us all and we enjoyed a healthy and very tasty lunch. A lovely day all round!

Headout Pass was easy to use. It allowed us to sight all bookings in one place and we could enter as is without having to queue for tickets or exchange the Headout Pass for tickets/vouchers and the like. Crown Jewels are one of the highlights of Tower of London as we had observed huge queues on prior visits. Very short queue on the day of our visit and we were able to enter as is with the Headout Pass.

Having spnt my whole life on the outsode looking in -it was marvellous to join US relatives on discovering the interior- the heritahe, history and pride of England. The tour was top class in very heated times-the whole experience cpmpleted my patroiotism to the Country I love - probably not allowed to say that today for all the traitors to my heritage!

An absolute must-see in London—experience history up close! My verdict: Visiting the Tower of London was the absolute highlight of my trip to London. The perfect blend of dark history, royal splendor, and gripping stories. What I especially liked: The Crown Jewels: The sight of the real royal crowns and scepter is breathtaking and perfectly staged. The historic atmosphere: You can literally feel the centuries-old history as you walk through the ancient fortress walls and the White Tower.The famous ravens: It’s fascinating to see these legendary birds up close in person. A quick tip for future visitors: Be sure to buy your tickets online in advance to avoid long lines. Also, plan on spending at least 3 to 4 hours there, as the grounds are huge and there’s an incredible amount to discover! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to any history buff and visitor to London. Five well-deserved stars!

The wait to get in was surprisingly short—no lines, not even for the Crown Jewels. The Tower as a whole is very interesting. A visit here should definitely be on your itinerary when you're in London.
