"Fantastic history. Beef eaters were brilliant at informing us of the history of the place."
"Amazing place. Lot of history in the walls. Take you back to 1066 and then all the way."
"One of the best preserved structures in the whole of UK, this castle is really fascinating to explore."
"The Tower of London is one of the most iconic landmarks in London, and for good reason. It has a rich and fascinating history."
"Tower of London has fantastic collections which every tourist must visit and see to believe."
"The Tower of London, situated right next to the iconic Tower Bridge, is a landmark you won't want to miss when visiting the area."
"The Tower of London is like stepping into a real-life Game of Thrones episode, minus the dragons!"
"The Tower of London still stands as an ancient reminder of the beginnings of England, and Britain."
Cons:
"The map they provide you is quite useless, entrances to the towers should be found by using the signs."
"It's truly amazing to be able to walk along history! I would recommend joining a tour of the tower with one of the beefeaters (it's free!) to get so much more history of the place and learn more about British history."
"The crown jewel of this tour is touring the Crown Jewels! Within this exhibit you can see many jewels acquired from South Africa during the Boer wars and from the East India Trading Company to include the Cullinan diamond."
"The magnificent architecture of the Tower of London covers almost everything style that has ever existed in England."
"Let's just say I was there yesterday and took 218 photos. It would have been more but they obviously for smart reasons don't allow photos on the Crown Jewels portion."
"Don’t miss out on seeing the graffiti and Anne Boleyn’s resting place in the church."
"One needs at least half a day to visit all the towers and museums."
"This is an incredible place to visit. I spent here between 2-3 hours because of the amount of things to see."
Guided Tours
Pros:
"Fascinating history, guided tours are amazing and definitely worth while so you can learn more about what you are looking at."
"At 10 am you have tour at the entrance. The lady will explain the history of the tower. They are very experienced and represent one of the oldest guard group in the world."
"The Yeoman stole the show, he was telling us stories and hilarious facts during the tour that i have yet to forget 3 months on."
"The Tower of London is a must-see for any visitor to London. It is a fascinating and historic place with something to offer everyone."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Tower of London tour with the majestic beauty in the heart of an international city."
"If you enjoy history the tour is worth it. I think the name, London Tower, is probably misleading for many. It is actually a castle that was built in 1066."
"My personal favourite London landmark filled with history and culture. Absolutely worth a visit. The tour guide is absolutely hilarious and great entertainment."
"Excellent experience. A must visit will be back again. Definitely need to take a warders tour."
Cons:
"Pretty cool place with lots of history. The history here is actually pretty amazing. The White Tower and the crown jewels reside inside this place as well."
"It's a pity that you had to pay extra to see somethings as well as paying to get in the tower such as the Crown Jewels."
"The Tower of London is an iconic historical landmark that stands as a testament to centuries of British history."
"The Tower is excellent. If you want to see the Crown Jewels, get as early ticket as possible and head straight there."
"Beautiful place where you can learn more about the history of the UK."
"Truly one of the top attractions in London. We got in line before it opened, picked up our prepaid headsets, then headed directly to the Crown Jewels to beat the lines."
"The guided tour was packed with way too many people and being in a crowd that big did not appeal to us."
"One of the main historical attractions of the city of London is an absolute must-see."
Accessibility and Facilities
Pros:
"There are some really narrow and steep spiral staircases to climb if you wish to see the cell/jail where the traitors and the 2 princes were kept."
"It's a little more challenging if you have limited mobility or handicap."
"Today we’ve had an absolutely amazing day. Firstly they gave me an accessible map which told you everything you needed to know as a disabled person, even down to how many steps there is!"
"We got our tickets in advanced with the audio. It was a great experience. It turned out to be a wonderful day, a bit windy but amazing."
"Easy and fast walk on this beautiful Tower Bridge on the lovely spring afternoon."
"The pre booking saves about 30 minutes of standing in the line."
"The audio guide is extra and a worthwhile addition."
"A beautiful day out, I do not advise for people with mobility issues because of the narrow passages and the steep stairs."
Cons:
"There is a lot to see and can easily spend half a day here. The crown Jewel exhibit is worth the trip alone. The staff was very friendly and informative."
"The only negative fir me is the orientation, quite steep I thought, but it is London!!"
"It is a full day attraction with my different exchibitions. You can eat some lunch or sweets in the restaurant, or sit under the huge trees between 2 exchibitions."
"Not enough toilets, specifically disabled options, and the ladies near the audio guide pick up are extremely cramped."
"The staff are so friendly and helpful with the yeomanry willing to have photos taken whenever required."
"If you're in London, you have to go! And be prepared to stay for a long time, pretty much the whole day."
"The map they provide you is quite useless, entrances to the towers should be found by using the signs."
"Always a treat to enjoy the grounds of the Tower of London. We’ve visited twice."
