Combo (Save 10%): The View from The Shard + Tower of London Tickets

Arriving early secured us a first-class experience. The Tower is defined by museum rooms that are well curated and lovingly arranged. The staff is always on hand, helpful, and friendly. For Halloween, there was extra decoration across the grounds, which was lovely to see. And... the audio tour is absolutely top-notch. Thank you so much for this experience. The flight on the London Eye was very well organized despite the massive crowds and an absolute highlight. The views over central London were breathtaking. We were completely satisfied here as well.

Brilliant time at the shard from seamless entry to Chris giving a talk about the building of the shard. All the staff were very helpful and knowledgable the drinks were lovely and reasonably priced. We would have liked to buy a booklet with pictures about the shard, lady said they used to do one but no longer, perhaps bring it back. Would definitely recommend.

We were in London for my husband's 70th! Could not have asked for a more beautiful day, or a better experience. We went up about 3.30pm and stayed up there to see the sun setting and London light up - amazing 🤩 Thank you

There was a free talk on which added great context. Beautiful view of London on a clear day and lovely pictures taken . Super easy to get to on public transport

The Crown Jewels and the ramparts are impressive. The entire tour with the audio guide was interesting. We visited as a family with 4 kids aged 7 to 12, and we thought it was a shame there wasn't a more fun and interactive way for children to discover the place and its history. On top of that, it was extremely crowded. They enjoyed Tower Bridge much more.

At 8:00 AM, we walked along the Thames from the Harriott Hotel by the London Eye (which we booked this morning through this app) to the Tower, arriving right on time at 8:45 AM. We still had to wait about 45 minutes until entry, but that is normal and wasn't an issue at all in the sunny weather! Following the advice we’d received, we headed straight over to the Crown Jewels exhibition. That collection is truly impressive! The other areas are all interestingly designed as well. The entire castle and all its sections are in very good, well-maintained, and restored condition. You’d never believe that the Tower has several hundred years under its belt! The guards are all very friendly, but also take their duty very seriously! They are happy to let you take photos, but putting an arm around their shoulder—which one female tourist tried to do—was politely declined! The restrooms are also in very good condition. As a German, it's nice to see that some signs also provide information in German! However, exploring some of the areas does require good physical fitness. In the White Tower, you first walk through all 3 floors twice along the length and twice across the width before winding your way back down inside one of the turrets! The minimum 3 hours you should plan to see most areas fly by very quickly! If, like us, you also opt for Tower Bridge admission with a slightly cheaper combo ticket, take the stairs instead of the elevator (which we only noticed once we reached the top), and then walk all the way back to the hotel, you are guaranteed some serious muscle soreness the next day if you're an out-of-shape tourist! The meticulously maintained Engine Rooms of Tower Bridge are also very interesting. The steam engine looks so pristine that you’d think it was just built! Though back when it was still coal-fired, it probably looked a bit dustier! The rich green with contrasting pin-striping painted on all the moving parts shows that true craftsmen who loved their trade were at work here! All in all, a fantastic combo trip that is well worth doing twice in a lifetime! It’s a pity, though, that no guided tours are offered in German, but you rarely find those at British attractions anyway...
