I bought tickets for the Tower of London first thing opening time and it was the best, it was a Friday morning at 9am and it wasn't that crowded. I was able to get into the crown jewels exhibit without waiting in line and look at the jewels for as long as I could! I toured the complex in about two hours taking a bit of a break and taking pictures. I recommend going at the time they open because then school groups of tourists arrive and everything gets crowded, the souvenir stores are great, but if you like history this place is a must see on your list of things to do in London.

It was breathtaking and, thanks to the time slot ticket, very relaxed despite the large crowds of visitors. We were able to see pretty much everything in 3 hours, including the ravens and changing the guards. The Tower is definitely one of the highlights of our trip to London! Definitely not to be missed!!!!

The combination with the Tower and the bridge is great because both are close together. The Tower of London is very interesting and the audio guide is highly recommended. Allow enough time, the grounds are extensive. We never had to queue. Great view from the Tower Bridge.

A Royal Day to Remember! Our visit to London wouldn’t have been complete without experiencing the majesty of both the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, and each lived up to its iconic status in the most unforgettable way. The Tower of London tour was an absolute highlight—steeped in history, drama, and intrigue. From the moment we stepped inside the ancient fortress, we were transported back in time. The Beefeater guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and witty, bringing centuries of royal history and tales of imprisonment, betrayal, and triumph to life. Seeing the Crown Jewels in person was awe-inspiring—photos don’t do them justice. Walking the old stone walls and standing on the very ground where history unfolded gave us chills. After that, we made our way to Buckingham Palace, and the contrast between the two royal landmarks was a beautiful complement. Where the Tower is historic and rugged, Buckingham Palace is elegant and majestic. Touring the State Rooms, we were struck by their opulence and artistry—everything from the chandeliers to the furniture to the artwork was breathtaking. It was like walking through a living museum of British royal heritage. The Changing of the Guard ceremony added that extra dose of pomp and pageantry, and it truly felt like being part of a centuries-old tradition. Whether you're a history lover or just looking to be inspired by beauty and legacy, these tours are an absolute must. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for the British monarchy and an unforgettable sense of connection to the past. Highly recommend making both a priority when visiting London—together, they offer the perfect blend of grit, grandeur, and glory!

Beefeater Jimmy and guide prior were both great and entertaining as well as informative. Was a great experience for wife and myself. Only thing is that the tour did not mention it is a beginning and after tour it was easily 2-3 more hours of things to see after the Beefeater finished. Still a great experience!
