We stopped here as our first sight in London and I really enjoyed it. The size was amazing to be in the middle of a large, modern city and to be able to see the different layers of restoration and repair that it has undergone in the hundreds of years of it's existence. The crown jewels were beautiful along with... more

We went to Tower of London on Oct 27. We got there at around 10.30. There was a long line to buy ticket, which moved very slow. We were able to use 2 for 1 voucher. Tower of London is a must see site. It is very amazing. The highlights were Jewel Crown and the Exhibit of Henry VIII dressed... more

My friends and I got to visit the Tower of London in March and we all had a wonderful time. The Beefeater who gave us the tour was extremely funny. When we went into the Chapel and he told us that Anne Boleyn was buried there, it was unreal. The Crown Jewels were amazing and to see the graffiti on... more

This place is amazing. It is a true historic site worthy of a visit from everyone. I've been there twice, but I think once would have been adequate. It is worth a visit and is truly spectacular, but it doesn't change, so once would have been fine, too. more

This is the best cultural/sightseeing tour i have ever had the pleasure to go on. An overwhelming example of British History from the legend of Henry the VIIIth to Queen Elizabeth. I would happily visit the tower of London time and t time again and not get bored, the knowledge of the Beefeaters was outstanding and the humour .... forgivable... more

This place was more than I expected, and I had high expectations when I arrived. I headed for the crown jewels exposition first, proving to be a smart thing to do to beat the crowds. The guided tours by the guards are highly recommended, but you don't need to start with one. The museum inside the Tower was fascinating -especially... more

For King Henry VIII fans, there is no shortage of history here! Be sure to see the tower where the prisoners engraved writings on the walls before they were be-headed. more
