This place I would definitely recommend to everybody who likes hight and good view. It is quite windy out there. There is no roof on the top floor. There was no queue so we easily got up without delay. It was a bit complicated to find the entrance, but we did it. It is near the underground station.

The enthusiasm of the tour guides, Zia and Chris, was contagious. Everyone had a great time learning about the Shard its uses, how it came to be buiilt, and the Opening Day Mascot, Romeo. Thank you for a great day, and as Zia and Chris remarked, the toilets are beautifully located..... Cheers, DH & KH Ottawa ON Canada

My personal view is there is too much up-selling. The photo's , there is even an attempt to upgrade the champagne. Which for me cheapens the experience.. All in all we enjoyed the view, but I wouldn't do it again.

This allows you to have a pass for several visits to sites and to plan your program simply. Our only disappointment concerned the tourist bus: the service provider included in the pass offered three not very practical circuits. We waited almost 1 hour to take the green route, and after a quarter of an hour it stopped for its break...

This place I would definitely recommend to everybody who likes hight and good view. It is quite windy out there. There is no roof on the top floor. There was no queue so we easily got up without delay. It was a bit complicated to find the entrance, but we did it. It is near the underground station.

Brilliant day out, lots of interesting things to see and it was lovely to see the Poppies cascading around the Tower. Would highly recommend anyone who hasn't visited to go ahead and buy a ticket, you will not be disappointed.

The enthusiasm of the tour guides, Zia and Chris, was contagious. Everyone had a great time learning about the Shard its uses, how it came to be buiilt, and the Opening Day Mascot, Romeo. Thank you for a great day, and as Zia and Chris remarked, the toilets are beautifully located..... Cheers, DH & KH Ottawa ON Canada

Going up toward sunset gives you a chance to see the view in natural light first is the thousands of night lights later. Beautiful is the glimpse toward the sky garden

I had no idea of everything that was in the Tower. We would have allotted much more time. Fanscinating. The Yeoman, AJ, was an outstanding guide - mixing humor with the history. You should allot 3 hours for the tour!

It was obvious from minute one that the most entertaining part of the experience of the Tower of London was going to be the Yeoman who led the tour. He knew his stuff and educated as well as made us laugh.

The tickets were easy to buy, download and use. Great experience. The Tower itself was extra crowded due to VE Day celebrations. We paid for the headphones which are definitely NOT worth it. The headphones are not user friendly and do not improve the experience.

Absolutely loved the Toer of London. Fantastic place to visit, we visited on a bank holiday weekend and as you can imagine it was busy but the queue flowed very quickly. Lots to see and do, coffee shop, gift shop. Audio tours. An excellent attraction with the Crown Jewels to top it off.

Arriving at 8:30am, the tour of the jewels was carried out in excellent conditions; afterwards, the historical explanations on the use of the different places were very well done; the armor room was extra with pieces in very good condition.

Easy scanning of the tickets on the cell phone, smooth processing. You can stay on the grounds as long as you like The only drawback is that nothing depends on the time slot you have booked, you queue as normal and there is a huge queue at the Crown Jewels.
