Excellent value. Arrived at 8.30 for our 9 entry and were able to see opening ceremony. Also very quiet to see crown jewels. Fascinating seeing graffiti left behind by prisoners. Friendly staff

This is a great place to visit on a first London trip. The history is amazing and everything is very well presented and maintained. The audio guide helps give lots of information to enhance your journey through the various areas of the Tower. Great views and helps with the understanding of what things were like in their time. Staff was great and very helpful.

Go early and prebook a ticket! We booked on the day (9am) and there was already quite a long queue to get in during May, so heaven knows what it would be like during high season! We queued to see the Crown Jewels for about 20 minutes - absolutely amazing particularly just after the Coronation. The Yeoman Warder tour had loads of people but was entertaining. We were there for about 5 hours, longer than expected, but there was lots to see. It was very busy but we didn't feel completely suffocated by the crowds and you really do feel a sense of history. Not sure I would want to go during high season, but definately worth a visit and glad we went.

We visited the Tower of London on 27 April 2023. Our Yeoman Warder guide was A.J., the 2nd female Beefeater in history. She was informative and highly entertaining. If you want to tour the White Tower, just know there are MANY steps! Because we visited shortly before the Coronation, the Crown Jewels had left the building. But wandering through the various open buildings was very enjoyable. If those walls could talk, what stories they’d tell.

We visited the Tower of London on a cold (cold by Australian definition) Monday morning during a school term. We arrived at 9.15am to line up for a 10am opening. Lucky we did because the line was right across the square by 9.30am. Tickets were scanned and maps handed out while we were waiting for the gates to open which made entry quite quick. We opted for an audio self guided tour which did add value and was worth it. We headed straight to the Crown Jewels upon entry. I don’t think my expectations were in check because I expected more from the Jewels. There wasn’t as much on display as I expected, which was more tiaras and jewellery. It took us a while to get through the Crown Jewels as there was lots of people and it was dark. By the time we got out the line to get in filled the stanchions. The actual Tower itself was interesting, particularly where prisoners were kept; the armoury was also quite interesting and there was much more on display than just armour; the towers with the Beefeater display which included insights into their training and background was worth a visit; and the talks around the place with the Beefeaters also looked quite engaging. Unfortunately we only had two hours here as we had another tour to get to. Would recommend at least 3-4 hours on a warm day.

We did the 'basic entrance with Beefeater tour' (which I didn't see in the drop-down menu), and it was fantastic! Yeoman Darren (wish I knew his last name) was so entertaining and knowledgeable. We were there with our two kids (11 and 14) and they, too, were riveted by his deep knowledge of British history.

The tower was unlike anything I have seen before! I could spend all day simply walking around. The tour guide was comical but also gave very interesting information as well as providing background about the touchy subjects and events that occurred there. It took us around 3 hours or so and that was without waiting in the humongous line to see the crown jewels. There is definitely stuff I didn't see and would absolutely go back and spend the full day there!

My suggestion is go early to avoid the lines. It's fun and informative specially chatting to people working there. Beefeater AJ was a delight and Warden Luis was just so knowledgeable. They really make the history come alive.

So much to see here in addition to the Crown Jewels! Really enjoyed walking around and learning more about the history. Definitely get there early - we went to see the Crown Jewels first with a minimal line but by the time we came out of the exhibit the line was super-long! We had lunch in the museum cafe - it was very crowded but the food was better than expected.
