Arriving early helps—but only if you book your ticket in advance. The line to exit the tower was really very long... There are plenty of stairs to climb. For kids, there’s a stamp hunt (why only for kids?) at various spots throughout the towers. The highlight was, of course, the glass floor, though stepping onto it definitely takes some courage. The engine room is a short walk from the towers, just around the corner. There, you can marvel at the art of construction and engineering. The smell of lubricating oil and the highly polished parts have a certain charm and also make for great photo opportunities.

Booking was very easy. I received a WhatsApp message with the ticket. There’s a sign at the line outside the entrance showing which time slot is currently being served. Even though it was Easter break, we didn’t have to wait long. They only let a few people in at a time, so there’s plenty of space inside. You can go through at your own pace. There are restrooms inside the towers. A free audio tour is also available. It’s very interesting. So don’t forget your headphones.

Booking with Headout was fantastic; everything went great, and the tickets were cheaper. We took the boat tour on the Thames and rode the London Eye. We barely had to wait in line at the London Eye, since it moves very quickly. The boat ride was a really pleasant experience since we went on a sunny day! But I would have liked the option to buy a ticket for the full circuit, not just a one-way ticket.

A must-try experience!!! From the London Eye, you get a beautiful bird's-eye view of the city, and there's plenty of time to take lots of photos during the ride. The cabins are clean and comfortable. There’s a long line, but as long as you stick to the scheduled time, it moves quickly. The view from the Thames is also lovely, and the cruise is relaxing. Just remember to download the app with the audio guide if you don’t speak Italian. I highly recommend this combo!

Ate at the Vault then visited the bridge and engine room. My elder brother has mobility issues and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. I have been over the bridge many times but great to see it from other angles. There is a lift to get from the bridge to the engine room level and back. Just ask the staff.

Really easy to book and to get there. Cruise was fantastic, guy who was telling through microphone did really great job. It was pleasure to listen en watch. We were late for out time slot for London Eye. It was not a problem, we were allowed to get it. Nice done, easy.

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.

See London from the water, with flexible boarding from any of four central piers and glide past riverside landmarks with live English or multilingual audio commentary onboard.

One of the coolest experiences in London. Climbing the tower and taking in the view from the top is simply amazing and very informative. It’s a landmark that’s definitely worth a visit. And for tech enthusiasts, the engine room with its old steam engines is an absolute must-see.

It was an interesting experience; the bridge is magnificent, and the glass walkways are fantastic. There are plenty of explanations provided throughout the tour. There are a few steps to climb ;) The tour of the machinery is great too ;) Definitely worth doing.

Walking through the old stairwell and across the glass floor is an absolute highlight. The engine room is explained and presented very well. The only downside: a long wait despite having a reservation.

Save with this combo and experience Tower Bridge’s historic heights plus a flexible River Thames cruise with live commentary.
