FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5The first thing that really impressed us was how quickly we were able to get in, despite the large crowd. The entire setting is very charming and well-maintained. The jewelry is wonderful. It takes at least two hours to explore the place at a leisurely pace. In the garden, we also saw crows and police officers. I recommend a visit to everyone. A wonderful experience.WWilliam T
FamilyVerified booking5 days ago5/5I wasn't sure if this was going to be a worthwhile trip but my family and I found the tower of London to be a fascinating place. There's obviously the crown jewels to see but there is so much more besides. Each different building is unique and worth going in for a look. The audio guide is worth getting, if only so you know what you're looking atRRaphaela K
SoloVerified booking4 days ago5/5Getting in was super fast—no line—and I was able to go in 10 minutes early. The audio guide was fantastic, the instructions were clear, and I learned a lot. The highlight was, of course, the Crown Jewels—I’ve never seen anything like them before. All in all, I spent 2 hours and 50 minutes there, and I thought it was great!XXin G
CoupleVerified bookingYesterday5/5The Tower of London is not a single tower! Its a medieval fortress with guards (Beefeaters) living inside, vault for the Crown Jewels (no pics allowed of the Cullinan diamonds), and a minimum of 6 ravens lest the kingdom fall…prison, palace,and museumBBeatriz G
FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5I loved the place. It was actually better at first, because later on it got really crowded. But we had a great time. It's very close to the city, and then we took a little walk to St. Paul's Cathedral. Everything is really close by, and if you like walking, it's great.
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.
