A fabulous place that transports you back in time, a site steeped in history with impressive galleries. Inside and outside the castle there are beautiful places to take photos, and the crown jewels are also fabulous to admire. My husband gave me a ring for our 25th anniversary. Afterwards, walk across London Bridge, enjoying the views and the great structure of the bridge. Leave your fear behind and walk on the glass of the bridge... enjoy it to the fullest!

Easy to book, and a good price! The experience itself was really enjoyable. Our hotel was next to Tower Bridge, so a visit was a must! Great views and especially fun to walk across the glass walkway (maybe scary if you're afraid of heights). A visit to the engine room was also very interesting, so definitely recommended for your visit to London!

My family and I really enjoyed the experience overall and were amazing by the Bridge's craftsmanship. We wwre sorry to hear that 10 people lost their lives in the making of the bridge but thought that was an impressive number since there weren't any harnesses or supports during the time of construction over the 8 years it took to complete. We all agreed we wouldn't be able to do the job these men do especially the scuba divers. I would highly recommend this tour to others and would do this tour again with my family.

Things to know before booking Westminster Abbey tickets
