Tea was great. The guide gave some information but didn't seem real professional. Walked fairly fast even though several in our group had canes and fell behind. She would talk about points on the walk before they caught up- thereby missing the discussion
very well organized staff super helpful
Our host Doug was knowledgeable, engaging and kept us on time for high tea which was waiting for us when we arrived! We will definitely book again on our next trip to London.

We really enjoyed visiting these 2 monuments, the Tower for the building and everything it contains, and the bridge for its glass floor in particular! Like everything else we visited, the only language was English 😏

Brilliant day out, lots of interesting things to see and it was lovely to see the Poppies cascading around the Tower. Would highly recommend anyone who hasn't visited to go ahead and buy a ticket, you will not be disappointed.
I had no idea of everything that was in the Tower. We would have allotted much more time. Fanscinating. The Yeoman, AJ, was an outstanding guide - mixing humor with the history. You should allot 3 hours for the tour!
The tickets were easy to buy, download and use. Great experience. The Tower itself was extra crowded due to VE Day celebrations. We paid for the headphones which are definitely NOT worth it. The headphones are not user friendly and do not improve the experience.
10 a.m. visit with a light flow Very nice exhibition Very interesting site I highly recommend However, from noon onwards, monstrous queues !!!! Prefer early mornings

Arriving at 8:30am, the tour of the jewels was carried out in excellent conditions; afterwards, the historical explanations on the use of the different places were very well done; the armor room was extra with pieces in very good condition.

Super convenient to book from home. I would recommend it to anyone. Otherwise the queues can be quite long or you don't even get in. Everything worked great and the tower is really very interesting and worth seeing.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

There was always someone at the stop to help you and everyone was very nice and patient. Also the river cruise was very informative and funny and convenient for crossing the river.
Exceptional experience, made so much better with well informed and funny guides . Could have spend the whole day there .
The quick ordering process and admission on site. And of course the impressive complex as such is simply a must if you are in London and interested in history.

Head out had tickets available when the official site was sold out! We even were let in early. The tour is essential, and we enjoyed the White Tower, the Jewels, and the walls.

On the list of attractions linked to my ticket there was the London Eye, but once I got there, I've received the information that your pass is no longer supported there. There was already late, so I couldn't use my pass for any other attraction.
Nothing was special. You sold me tickets to got to sea life the day I baught the ticket. Sea life was fully booked that day so could not get in. I also wanted madam tussauds that's why I got the 2 attraction ticket and madam tussauds wasn't included in hat ticket so couldn't use the ticket at all. You robbed me it's a pure scam. I've asked for a refund and been told I need to give 24 hours notice before the attraction time to get refund. I bought the morning of the day I wanted to go so how can I give 2r hours notice to get refund when tickets didn't work due to sea life being fully booked that day and the ticket not cover the other attraction we wanted. I feel robbed and scammed. My 6 year old daughter had the worst day she cried all the day amd all ay home on train back to Surrey. I'm fuming I want my money bacj
I am waiting on a refund as the app wasn't working kn the day , therefore I paid a lot of money for nothing , very disappointing
It was great vacations in London.

I'm still on crutches after a hip replacement so I'm happy to say the experience was spacious, not too many people and the check in staff were very chilled, helpful and friendly. It was a lovely atmosphere. I was directed to the lift and we, my friend and I were offered a couple of free fold up seats which made all the difference. The staff seemed to take care to assess our needs and offer what was needed or asked for. There was a secure cloak room where you made a charitable contribution of £1, so you didn't have to carry around stuff. The exhibition itself was a lovely experience, especially the leaves on the floor that moved and 'reacted' to people's footsteps. All in all, a really good visit of variety. If only Van Gogh knew how much we would be enjoying. his art and HOW we'd be enjoying his art!
Lovely to feel immersed in beautiful paintings. Would have been even better if there were fewer people but still enjoyable.
Excellent experience Great coffee too
It was different to anything we had seen before. A completely new experience.
Wasnt sure what to expect but the whole experience was very informative in a very clever way. Thoroughly enjoyed by myself and my sister
Buying the tickets from headcount worked out fine and really easy to do. The frameless experience was fascinating and really emmersive indeed. All the artwork came to life and you literally felt as though you were part of the picture in the frame!
Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. The music was lovely with the art, but could have been a bit louder for me. Also, nice cafe and REALLY clean and fresh toilets. Well done to the cleaning lady there.
The experience was amazing. Each room was amazing each room was well thought out and I enjoyed checking which of the paintings I coud name.
We were not given a correct address so we were late arriving. It would have been helpful to have the Edgware Road address then we would have found it. We do not live in London so are not familiar with it! We loved the show when we got ther.
Grown-ups feel like kids, and kids learning about art without realising it.
very well organized staff super helpful
The bigger room was more interesting to me , the historical pictures and the mind captivating of the sound .
Ingenuity imagination dreams come true
Very interesting different and really relaxing as a non art enthusiast I really enjoyed it
Was very nice! I would love to come back!

Apart from the Kensington Palace and Sunken Garden within the Kensington Gardens, there is a lot more to see in this lush land. Albert Memorial, Statue of Peter Pan, Italian Gardens and The Arch are a few worth visiting.
