Is it really worth it to see the crown jewels and stroll through the castle’s passageways? And the bridge offers some great views.

It was an interesting experience; the bridge is magnificent, and the glass walkways are fantastic. There are plenty of explanations provided throughout the tour. There are a few steps to climb ;) The tour of the machinery is great too ;) Definitely worth doing.

It’s still a good idea to get there early, though, because you’ll have to wait in line anyway—you won’t be the only one having breakfast there. Otherwise, everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The whole experience was fantastic. The tour guide helped us get into the museum even though we had some trouble getting there. He was very kind. The museum itself was amazing, but the first aid staff were especially helpful when my wife started having health problems. We were very well taken care of and left the museum very happy. I definitely recommend it.

Like a lot of attractions in the UK not the cheapest day out for a family but in this case well worth it. We spent about 5 hours there and could have stayed longer. The Yeoman guard tour (included) is well worth it. I was last at the Tower 30 years ago,this was a return visit with my kids. The entry,signage, information,tours and facilities were great. A fabulous historical tour

It was absolutely beautiful, even though some of the figures—like Audrey Hepburn—weren’t quite as well done. But the exhibition is well worth the high price. My favorite part was the royal family. Sometimes the background music was too loud, but I suppose that’s just how it has to be. There were plenty of restrooms, and they were clean. All in all, it was a wonderful day. Thank you so much for the lovely time there.
