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.

Enjoy timed access to one of London’s most iconic landmarks, including entry to the North and South Towers, glass-floor walkways, and the Victorian Engine Rooms.

Step out onto the glass-floored walkways suspended 42 meters above the River Thames and watch as double-decker buses and riverboats pass beneath your feet.

Travel back in time in the original Engine Rooms and uncover the steam-powered machinery that once raised the bridge’s bascules.

Discover over 135 years of Tower Bridge history through immersive exhibits, animated displays, and tales that connect you with London’s rich heritage.

Upgrade your experience to include a Thames River cruise from Tower Bridge to Westminster after an English guided tour of Tower Bridge.

Fun to walk across the top and look down on the road or out to the view of London. Not a lot to see inside. My kids enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say it's a "must do"

Not very fun and your glass walkway is a scam - it's a skylight, nothing else, and too many people - both a bad experience and expensive.

What I liked the most was to learn about the history of the tower bridge. And to see how the machinery worked when it was powered by steam and coal.

Walk the iconic Tower Bridge and explore its Victorian Engine Rooms.
