An absolute must-see in London—experience history up close! My verdict: Visiting the Tower of London was the absolute highlight of my trip to London. The perfect blend of dark history, royal splendor, and gripping stories. What I especially liked: The Crown Jewels: The sight of the real royal crowns and scepter is breathtaking and perfectly staged. The historic atmosphere: You can literally feel the centuries-old history as you walk through the ancient fortress walls and the White Tower.The famous ravens: It’s fascinating to see these legendary birds up close in person. A quick tip for future visitors: Be sure to buy your tickets online in advance to avoid long lines. Also, plan on spending at least 3 to 4 hours there, as the grounds are huge and there’s an incredible amount to discover! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to any history buff and visitor to London. Five well-deserved stars!

This walking tour in Venice was the absolute highlight of my vacation in Venice. We walked through the less touristy parts of the city and was taken through inside alleys - quiet and authentic. I especially liked area around Campo Santa Margarita which has a huge local population going about their daily lives. Our guide, Marco was highly knowledgeable with an undertone of humour, which kept us in high spirts throughout the 2 hour long walk. He even showed us gelato spots that are not on the tourist radar and I must say, they were so much tastier than the ones on St Mark's Square! I'd recommend wearing walking shoes because there's a lot to walk and a couple of steep bridges to go about.

We arrived at a Tower of London at midday and the entrance was pretty straight forward, we were received with a smile and within seconds they scanned the tickets and we were allowed in. The whole experience was incredible, the history, the staff, the beeefeaters and of course the Crown Jewels were an incredible and beautiful place to explore. We spent 5 hours in the area studying the history and culture.

What a fantastic day out. The staff were very informative and friendly. Lots to see and lunch in the cafe was amazing. Although it was busy we didn't have to wait long to get into any of the attractions. We were absolutely shattered at the end of a fantastic day

The fact that I went with my family and, being all adults, every podcast, every reading, every pictured, generated conversations that enriched the visit. I really recommend the visit early so there IS time for the whole tour to be completed.

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.
