Really loved the Tower of London the only thing that let it down was the guided tour via Dex. Firstly my husband couldn't access it due to it not being available on android. Secondly it wasn't made clear that you could switch to the Towers Wi-Fi to save data. Thirdly our phones ran out of battery towards the end and there was nowhere to charge them and finally due to renovations work the tour didn't start where it was supposed to so we had to go back on ourselves multiple times by which time the phone was running out of battery so I had to stop using the audio guide in order to save battery.

Despite the crowds, everything went smoothly with the pre-booked tickets. We were guided efficiently through the attractions without feeling rushed. I found it so interesting—it’s London’s oldest landmark. I’m very interested in English history, so for me, it was an absolute highlight. I definitely want to mention the Tower guards—such friendly and charming gentlemen.

The Tower of London is absolutely stunning. It’s a beautiful building, both inside and out. You’re allowed to take photos everywhere except in the Crown Jewels section. It’s really wonderful to see all the jewels and regalia. There isn’t really a set route to follow, so you have to look around a bit to see everything. (A map made this easier.) Had a delicious meal at the café—great fish and chips and coffee.

Our visit to the Tower of London was a pleasant surprise. The rooms are steeped in history, and the view is stunning, offering a striking contrast between the historic, older part of the city and the modern part with its buildings. The tour of the Crown Jewels exhibition was absolutely beautiful and left us breathless.

Ordering the tickets was very easy, and I received them via email right away. The tour is excellent and lasts about two hours. It’s best to download the audio guide before you arrive—it’ll make things easier. In short, it’s a wonderful tour, a must-see in London, and booking is very easy.

Booked my visit to the Tower of London through Headout and it turned out to be such a smooth and worthwhile experience. Seeing the Crown Jewels in person was absolutely surreal, and the entire Tower is packed with history and iconic views. Definitely a must-do experience while in London.

    It was a really fun and interesting tour, but unfortunately we couldn't see everything because we had a ticket for London Bridge afterward, so we'll be back to see the rest

    Quick and easy entry—the Tower of London is a fantastic place in every corner, from the central tower and its ravens to the Crown Jewels.
  • Tower of London

    Visit the primary seat and center of the British Monarchy. As the primary residence of royalty and setting for key events in the early history of Europe, a tour to the Tower of London is an experience filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and even a little horror. Once you enter, you are allowed to explore the castle grounds independently for however long you wish until closing time. You will be able to experience and explore all the parts of the castle. This includes the White Tower, the first part of the Castle built by William the Conqueror, which houses displays from the Royal Armouries’ collection today.

    Finally, the tour also includes the opportunity to see the Crown Jewels, a display of the wealth and splendor of the British Crown. Apart from these experiences, you will get to see live historical re-enactments, and other exhibitions like 'Coins & Kings' and 'Line of Kings'.

    The Shard

    With its 310 meters, the Shard is the highest observation bridge in London. The view from here is breathtaking. You can watch the city, the Thames, and the sun setting over the city if you decide to visit at nightfall. Your tickets give you access to levels 68, 69, and 72. Once you enter, you will have to take the elevator to the 68th level. The elevator covers 6 meters in one second, so it will take about one minute to reach the level. During the ascent, you will see breathtaking views of the city of London. You can walk inside floors 68 and 69 and visit the outdoor bridge on level 72.

    With no time limit, you will have the freedom to explore the floor for as long as you want. Once you arrive on the bridge, you can look out over the city of London. Have fun spotting the London Eye, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and 20 Fenchurch Street (Walkie Talkie) from above. You can also use digital telescopes with touchscreens to zoom in on these attractions. At level 72 you can also buy a glass of champagne to enjoy the performances that take place every day at the attraction.
