Tower Bridge is one of London's most impressive landmarks. The architecture is unique and combines history with modern technology. The view of the Thames and the surrounding city from the bridge is particularly beautiful. Tower Bridge is particularly impressive at night, as it is beautifully illuminated and creates a very special atmosphere. Tower Bridge is also very interesting from the inside - the exhibition and the glass floor are real highlights. An absolute must for any visit to London and perfect for photos!

My family and I really enjoyed the experience overall and were amazing by the Bridge's craftsmanship. We wwre sorry to hear that 10 people lost their lives in the making of the bridge but thought that was an impressive number since there weren't any harnesses or supports during the time of construction over the 8 years it took to complete. We all agreed we wouldn't be able to do the job these men do especially the scuba divers. I would highly recommend this tour to others and would do this tour again with my family.

Tower Bridge bears witness to a bygone era in London, but it has evolved to provide new sensations (thrills if you're afraid of heights) with its glass passages on the bridges linking the two towers. A visit to the machine room, with its animations and explanations, will help you understand how the ingenious bridge opening system works.
    • Save money and ascend to the heights of London's Tower Bridge before setting sail on a leisurely Thames River cruise with this combo.

    • Hop aboard from Westminster, the London Eye, or Greenwich Piers to get to Tower Bridge, or choose to board your cruise from Tower Pier after you explore the bridge.

    • Explore the glass walkways at the Tower Bridge for a bird’s-eye perspective of London 42m above the water. Then, unearth Victorian engineering at the Engine Rooms.

    We arrived in the rain and the guides were super friendly and let us in early. It's exciting to be inside, the views are incredible, and knowing you're inside such an engineering and historical marvel was thrilling. Highly recommended! The best part is the glass floor! Exciting!

    We bought tickets online at the foot of the bridge and were amazed by the tour! It's a must-do, and I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know who is planning to visit London.

    The staff were great from managing the queues to helping me sort out a problem with ticketing. The staff at the top of the North tower were very helpful in answering my questions on the history of the bridge. The engine house was fascinating and the operation of the old equipment was well sign posted and documented.

    Excellent hour and a half, time well spent walking through the sights of the Bridge 👍 Not so many queues so you could take your time to take it all in...use the steps if you can to get up and down...worth the extra effort 👍
