Amarell,
Apr 2025Verified booking
Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

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.

Everything was perfect, but it could have been a failure because when we arrived at the starting point there was nothing that helped us find where to meet our guide. We asked several of the Tower people working there and they all said we had to get on the end of the extraordinary long line. By our own initiative we were lucky enough to find the guide group.

Katrina
May 2025Verified booking
The London Eye gave us great views - we enjoyed it. We were put in our space with a large group and that was not ideal. It was hard to move around to see different areas due to so many people taking up most of the window space and places to sit. We were not able to do our river cruise. The boat captain said the operation of the combo ticket had changed and we could only take the boat one way to the Tower of London. I was disappointed to not do this part of the ticket and to forfeit my money since we were unable to reschedule in the short time we were there. Maybe I should give this a lower rating since it was not really good!

The London Eye is good with the skip line, good service, but the River cruise ticket was confusing me. First, I don't know how to get to the entrance to the cruise, the ticket is not clear what is the cruise name and it was only one way ticket. I got drop off at Greenwich which I am not expected, so I have to found the way the get back the hotel.

It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.

The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.

The tour itself and the tour provider were excellent. However, it was not what was advertised. My tour took place on a Monday. According to the tour guide, there was never a Change of Guard on a Monday to observe, however, this was a key part of the tour title and even in reading the small print it said that it did take place on a Monday. Advertising a 'Tower of London Guided Tour', which is in the title and in the small print, is false advertising. We were escorted to the opening ceremony, which was incredible, and then given 50 minutes to look round the tower. Anyone who knows the tower will know this is not enough time, and there was no guide to take us around. Since, for us, the Tower visit was the primary aspect of the tour, this was incredibly disappointing and not explained in the small print. Finally, I wrote to Headout 7 days ago detaling my complaint, and have not heard anything back. I would caution anyone against booking with them in the future.

This was the most fabulous 4-hour tour. Our guide was Natalie. She was attentive to every single person on the tour and made sure we always got the best viewing spots.

They were calling when I was on a ship not able to take a phone call but ended up getting the info via voice maile time was earlier. I'm good. Once in London I get a phone call. I said I got the message time change and the Rep was no I had to be a different day . As soon as I said I can't do that all of a sudden she say she can't hear me trouble on the line . Maybe but I could hear her. She said call back the number I just called on. I did ended up being a phone tree and I pressed the option to call me back which didn't happened. I'm assuming it's cancelled. The following day another Rep calls to tell me about the time change which doesn't work now since I assumed you all cancelled on me. She said she would refund my money which better happen. This was not on me and please do the right thing.

We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral. She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.

St Paul's is wonderfool piece of rebeliation of the architect and I enjoyed the visit. Especially dome. The stairs are quite difficult (narrow and high number of it). We had a bit problem with the electronic ticket but we were not the first and not the last I suppose (we had to let them print so do it before visit). There was not a lot of people so we had time and good oporutnity to explore everything.

The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful! I didn't give a 5 star rating only because entering the Cathedral took a long time at the desk. We purchased tickets in advance and I had them available on my phone. However, the gentleman at the desk had to look at my phone, take pictures of three different sections of my phone tickets, and then finally admit us. Four families that arrived with NO tickets, purchased and entered before we did. I wouldn't repurchase tickets again. Slower process. It took 15 minutes and we were already on a time crunch.

On arrival I had to email them the tickets you had sent as they would not accept them as tickets. I had no signal was directed to desk to queue I then had a signal and was able to email them. I don't know if I could have gained entry if I had been unable to email. Seemed clunky system. My issue is with St Paul's staff not overly helpful

I was advised to print ticket. This proved difficult so I didn't as a qr code is normally accepted at venues. This particular qr code was not acceptable at the venue (why not) so I had to screen shot, email this to St Pauls. All the while with the queue building up behind me. Very patient staff at St Paul's. They couldn't do enough to sort this.

![Last weeks I went to The Tower of London, thanks to @headout ❤️
When William the Conqueror built a mighty stone tower at the centre of his London fortress in the 1070s, defeated Londoners must have looked on in awe. Now nearly 1000 years later, the Tower still has the capacity to fascinate and horrify.

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.

This allows you to have a pass for several visits to sites and to plan your program simply.
Our only disappointment concerned the tourist bus: the service provider included in the pass offered three not very practical circuits. We waited almost 1 hour to take the green route, and after a quarter of an hour it stopped for its break...

We chose 3 because we only had 1 day. It was great because it did not require reservations for Westminster Abbey which was sold out for the day.
