UNESCO Reviews

Interesting piece of history to walk through, exhibits cleverly laid out for the most part. Crowds are well, massive. London pass gets you in quick but standing in line to see the crown jewels is not going to happen. Very hot day for the guards...took some lovely photos and even got some from the river boat.

Tower...
I guess whether you call here a tower or whatever, it depends where you are from...
For me more or like a building...

Excellent experience. Moving and very well organised.

Crown jewels make it worth the visit. The chapel was also nice. Don't miss tower bridge.

Great place for history buffs. The beef eater guided tours are well worth it. If you can use them for the Jack the ripper wall in the evening and well. Fantastic orators

Come here after you visit the London bridge. It s behind the bridge within walking distance. Better yet take the riverboat cruise from parliament and you only have to walk about 500 meters.

Fantastic and fascinating. Superb historical place to visit!

Definitely one not to miss - the guided tours make the visit!

Absolutely great. So much to see and do. Touching history. The story of our nation. Superb.

Lots of history and great to walk around, can spend hours here

Like the history of this place... Crown jewels are worth the wait..

Amazing place, with a great feel all around, especially during this time of the year

I was very upset they close 30 minutes early and I could not see the last floor of the tower. They should be more clear with it. The rest is good but that was bad for me.

Its a must see. Very organised and well kept place. The crown jewels are best part of Tower of London

London.... Steeped in history beyond my wildest imagination

Over priced tickets. Not valued for money, but the beefeater tour guides are witty. Get to see the crown jewels. The immediate vicinity is packed with tourists and gets busy very quickly.

Great attraction, vast amount of history but watch out for extortionate food prices.... Advise to bring sandwiches...

Good, not really suited for children, since the exhibitions can be bit dry and boring

Lovely place to visit with family.one of the best tourist spot in london.

Huge place, lots to see. Definitely give yourself a good three hours.

Visited her for the ceremony of the keys. The tour and royal ceremony was brilliant and the yeoman was very informative, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We had to wait a while for a place to visit the castle but it was well worth the wait.

Best go for the yeoman warders tour first. Donation boxes everywhere, including next to the royal jewels.

A royal Palace that is well worth visiting. Our splendid crown jewels can only truly be appreciated when you see them here

Be up for some walking but very accessible on bus/public transportation. The history and exhibits such as the Crown Jewels are exceptional.

A fantastic tour about the rich history of the monarchs. Avoid the crowd by getting in before 9am.

The Crown Jewels are just amazing to look at. I'd also really recommend one of the guided tours. The tour guides are all really good and witty. They aren't just regular tour guides but still real Beefeaters who actually live in the tower.

Worth every penny allow 4 to 5 hours minimum to enjoy the experience and I suggest you book online to save money

Incredible part of English history. Don't miss the crown jewels

Really cool place to visit, pricey admission for Canadians with the exchange rate but definitely is worth the money.

We walked here from St James district, a bit of a walk but it was great to see things along the way.

There is fast food around the tower and some restaurants.

Definitely worth the trip

This is an amazing place to visit. The Yeoman guard tours are a must if you want to hear about the history of the Tower of London. Get in early and go straight to the crown jewels display if you want to miss the queues!

Fascinating place to visit! The walk through is clearly labeled and easy to follow and full of information. Staff are really friendly and helpful. I really recommend going on one of the yeoman led tours, it really brings the place to life.
Best to come early and plan to stay late as there is lots to see and do.
The cafe's on site provide a good range of food, drinks and snacks.
Lots of places to grab a souvenir too.

If you get a chance, do a Yeoman Warden tour, absolutely amazing! Additionally, plan a full day as there is a lot to see and here.

Amazing place, really glad we went! Was a lot bigger than I expected and a lot of things to do.

What too say other than a must if you only visit a few places in London great ice skating in the moat.

History... History... Kohinur diamond in display.... People who love history can visit this place at least once.

Lovely site for pictures that captures London's vibe.

Interesting place to spend 2 to 3 hours. Guided tour or audio guide both good. Henry VIII armoury and Crown Jewels the highlights

Highlights include the Crown Jewels and general history of what happened there. Amazing to see the graffiti left by prisoners in the tower.
Information boards were really good as very informative but too much information to take in. Need a full day to visit.

One of the most interesting historical places in the world. It is a must see, according to every travel guide and it IS worth visiting. This place fuels your imagination!

A lot of history. To get the full benefit join the guided tour. It is free to join the tour.

Lots of great information and towers available. Definitely make time for this on your visit to London.

So much to see, and listen to left me wanting to know more. The re-enactments were enjoyable and performed well.

Took my grand children for the first time, had a great time kids loved it all. The beefeaters and all the staff were great with the kids.
Would recommend a visit to the tower for everyone.

What a brilliant day out, absolutely loads of things to see, lots of interesting information, overall a really good day out.

Loved the Yeoman warder tour. Mark was hilarious! Crown jewels very spectacular. Get there early, go to the jewels first to avoid long queues.

Great experience. Looks much different and rich when inside. Definitely a place to visit when in London. Crown Jewels make a huge impression.

A tad on the expensive side, well organised, lots to see and do.

Great time to go as coronavirus has kept visitor numbers extraordinarily low.

It was really amazing day out and experince.
so much to see and so much to learn something new everyday.
It one of the best historical sites in heart of London.Easy to get there from Trafalgar Square take direct bus number 15 and in 20 min you are there. Make sure that you have plenty of time because Tower closing at 4pm but its so much to see there.Lovely time for everyone.

Good history. Overcrowded with people. Dissapointed that you are not allowed to take pictures of the crown jewels.

A lot of things to see here. I saw the tail end of the Wicked Women exhibition - wonderfully acted, with special mention to the performance of the Leiutenant of the Tower.
A long day - do not expect to see everything in a couple of hours.

A very interesting and educational day out. Definitely value for money.

Great visit. If you want to see the crown jewels my advice is to get in early and head straight for that area. Long queues start around around 11.30am

Fantastic feeling like historical walk, diversified culture across the world, amazingly maintained, what a construction b/w 16-17th century

Yeoman guide was good but crowded. Audio guide just ok

We didn't have time to go through the tower to see the Jewel amongst other historical artefacts but looking at the building itself was quite impressive. The tower is quite large and located beside the iconic Tower Bridge so it is fairly easy to find. The masonry and stonework visible from the outside was enough to get me excited about going in.
We were told you would need about 1.5-2 hours to go through the tower when booking tickets which was why we didn't end up going in since we would have only had an hour. It was nice that they weren't all about just selling tickets. We went to get tickets at the kiosk but think you were also able to do it online.
It was disappointing we didn't get to go in but it is now on the list for the next visit.

What a great place to spend most your day. I started by doing the yeoman (or beefeater) tour and he really got the crowd involved and engaged with his interesting stories, descriptions and humour. Afterwards saw the crown jewels which are most definitely worth going to see. You then have quite a lot of the whole place to go look around and loads of information to give you a good idea about the history of the place, both structurally and how its use has changed over the years. Definitely recommend it even if you only go to do the tour, crown jewels and see the armour in white tower it'll certainly keep you occupied for at least 2 hours.

So interesting! So many things to see and do there and it's very informative. Rained a bit when I went but it didn't take away from the experience because a lot of the things to do are indoors. There are lots of lines to get into certain places like the Crown Jewels but it's great to see.

A great stop on any London tour. The Tower of London is a great architectural landmark to visit and also gives a great historical view of how has been used in the past. A must see us also the royal crowns and jewels. In the winter there is also a nice ice skating rink here

Good place to visit, however you will not get good vegetarian food to eat over there.

love the Tower and everything associated with it, the Beef Eaters are great with loads of knowledge

Just about the very best attraction in London, the Beefeater Tour should not be missed - fascinating! The half term children s event Knight School and Defend the Tour were amazing, immersive and fun and we ll be looking out for more school holiday events.

Have been there twice, and every time it's great. Beefeaters always give you a nice tour, there is a lot to see, but the highlight are ravens!

Wonderful trip in the British past from medevial time to 2nd World War.
Great museum. The exhibition of Crown Jewel is impressive.

Amazing place with a tour from the beefeaters lots of history. Well maintained very high standard. Book online to avoid disappointment.

A fortress, a home, a prison and more, all in one place. Crown jewel is here too

We wanted to buy tickets whit a student discount and we only had one cause i forgot mine , the girl at the box office treated us terribly and patronizingly

Interesting history, don't miss the crown jewels inside.

This is a must visit for anyone in London for the first time. Absolutely wonderful. The Yoemen Warders tour is pretty cool, but the Crown Jewels were breathtaking. The line is really long for the jewels, but it tends to move really fast.

Loved our visit to the tower. Walked 1000's of steps and explored all the books & crannies. The view of the bridge and the Thames are beautiful from the walls.

The one thing you HAVE to do here is a Yeoman tour. This was the highlight of the entire day. We got audio guides but to be honest it was not needed nor was it as educational as the Yeoman tour. Also, I believe this is the only way to see the inside of the chapel where Jane Seymour and Ann Boleyn are resting. I learned so much in that short tour.

We had the most genuinely funny Yeoman, I wish I caught his name. By the end, my cheeks were sore from smiling so much.

We did the 10am tour on Tuesday May 7. Thank you for the memorable experience and wonderful tour.

Loved this place. Spent all day here. Helpful staff. Able to get a coffee.

Was really cool to see! I would recommend giving yourself decent amount of time as there is lots to see! We only had a couple hours, but very worth it. We wanted to see the royal jewelry but the line was crazy long.

Everything is done well. Make sure you do the included tour with the Beefeater. Value for money.

It's an amazing experience to have the opportunity to walk through an actual castle!
