I bought tickets for the Tower of London first thing opening time and it was the best, it was a Friday morning at 9am and it wasn't that crowded. I was able to get into the crown jewels exhibit without waiting in line and look at the jewels for as long as I could! I toured the complex in about two hours taking a bit of a break and taking pictures. I recommend going at the time they open because then school groups of tourists arrive and everything gets crowded, the souvenir stores are great, but if you like history this place is a must see on your list of things to do in London.

There are lots of exciting things to discover in the Tower, you could easily spend a whole day there. The crown jewels are a great highlight, it's best to save them for the end to avoid school classes and the like. The souvenir stores and kiosks are also very good. There are also numerous toilets throughout the site, so you rarely have to queue. The staff are very friendly & courteous/helpful. I would only advise against the audio guide, as the £5 for this quality is hardly worth it. My personal highlight was the ravens.

This place is truly fantastic—beautiful, spacious, and with plenty of climbing for those ready to explore. The architecture and atmosphere are breathtaking. The only downside is the Crown Jewel display: it’s stunning to see in person, but photography is not allowed, which is disappointing for visitors who want to share the experience with family and friends on social media. Even so, the history here is rich and fascinating, and the overall experience is so impressive that I would gladly return again.

Two birds, one stone—cruise the Thames and then discover the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London! A super fun combo that’s kind to your wallet too!

Tower of London’s just a hop, skip, and a 0.1 km stroll from Tower Pier—so you can cruise the Thames first, or hit up the tower, totally up to you!

Roam the Tower for 3-4 hours, then relax on a 30-minute Thames cruise—get the best of London in half a day, with plenty of time left to hit up more cool spots!

History lovers, this one’s for you! Cruise past London’s gems, then explore the Tower of London’s royal past. A combo that’s as epic as it is educational!

I highly recommend taking the fast line because it makes a considerable difference in time saved, I took it and in less than 10 minutes I was already inside, I also recommend going at 11am which is when the attraction starts operations. They have order in the lines, it is organized and certainly buy your photo packages adding the digital version, they give you many versions of backgrounds and videos, excellent experience.

The audio guide is not clear. It is not clear where one should start. One should number the pictures according to the sequential activities. Also, from my tickets it was included and instead I arrived at the stall distributing the audioguides and was told they were not included and I had to pay £14 for them (family-4 person package)
