UNESCO Reviews

I mean... it s the Tower of London. What can I say other than it s everything you expect and more. The Beefeaters (guards and guides) are awesomely funny and entertaining as well as knowledgeable.

A must visit! You can feel the history all around you.

The Tower of London is magnificent! If you love history it is worth the money when in London.

Seeing the Crown Jewels and learning about the history of this amazing structure was on my bucket list and I am so happy I got to check it off.

I would recommend giving yourself about 3 hours to get through it if you want to have plenty of time.

Take the train to the Tower Hill stop and you ll be right there! While you re there, you ll be able to see the incredible London Bridge as well.

Enjoy this beauty!

Great place with loads of history. We loved our day trip there. Lots to do but get there early to avoid the queues for the crown jewels. The beefeatwr are great and offer free tours and local descriptions or facts about certain areas fornthe tower. Great for all the family.

Lovely place to visit but far too busy with lots of tourists, so makes it difficult to thoroughly enjoy the experience.

You gotta visit the Tower of London! Buy tickets online to save some costs and check out the Crown Jewels! Line is long so have someone stand in line and check out something and swap off of the line is really long.

Great day out. Loved the interaction from the ghosts who came back to inform us about life as prisoners at the Tower. They looked very alive but must have been ghosts as they were so well informed of the past. Took a photo as evidence...

The tour was very informative and added a lot of colour to the visit. The gift shops were nice, and the crown jewels are a sight to see. I recommend allowing an afternoon to do it all properly.

Great place to visit to see our history stretching back hundreds of years. Crown jewels are amazing

Amazing museum with some items dating almost 1000 years back. Many unique exhibitions. Recommend Yeomens tours (free) as our guide was a joke cracker, and Rebeca from Queen's jewels exhibition was very knowledgeable about history. A lot to see and even try. You can save money if find 2 for 1 ticket promotion :)

Girl called Anisa sooooo rude, very bad with people, completely ruined my experience

So much to see. A guided Beefeater tour is a must. Their knowledge is incredible.

What can you say, century's of history, Beefeaters, crown jewels. Everything for a full day out

Combination of many towers. Huge place, takes a lot of time to completely visit all of the attractions. Planning ahead is a great idea. There are small refreshments stalls and a huge restaurant too.

Fantastic day out. So much to see and do. Lots of interactive things for kids and adults alike to do. Many of the exhibits have been refurbished. The new restaurant/Cafe is brilliant and should cater for most tastes.

Definitely worth visit,

To see everything be sure to have at least half a day time, audio guides recommend.

To Royal jewellery was really long queue, but it was moving fast so definitely worth the wait

It's the tower of London fantastic. Fantastic town . The place is alive with thought.

3rd time visiting this place and am never disappointed!

Great to see the Royal Jewels. Great tour by a real Beefeater.

Beefeaters tour was both entertaining and informative and the crown jewels were spectacular. Beautiful history.

Very cool. Worth a stop! Great amount of history there. Everything in the tower is neat to explore and read about. Try to go when it s not too busy, so you can see the Crown Jewels without a huge queue.

One of my favorite sites in London, the Tower continues to charm with its clean presentation, fascinating history and friendly, gregarious and picture-perfect yeoman warders. Take any of the tours at your own pace, stroll the grounds, and be amazed at how perfectly preserved and polished this gem in the English crown is.

Wow, worth the entry fee. Take the free tour with the Yeoman, very funny.

The visitor experience has improved so much since my last visit about 8 years ago. Yeoman guided tours are very informative and saves walking around with your nose in a guide book. The rest of the Tower is well signed and easy to get around.

A great visit. Later in the day tickets move to half price so depending on your schedule and how long you plan to visit this might be helpful. Amazing/iconic views of the Tower Bridge as well.

Wonderful place to see, don't miss it. We loved going the castle walls walk through the various buildings. The each building had a write-up of its colorful history. You certainly feel like you're in a medieval castle.
It is worth every penny of its entrance fee. There are so many things to see and know about England's history.

I loved this place! I had a great experience with my family here and it's well worth the money! Even better if you buy the guide book.

It's very open and huge, with some food places inside.

Walking through the main buildings and along the wall was great.

If you can go now while the Tower is quiet you will have an amazing experience. Well worth the time and money.

Not to be missed. Fascinating insights into medieval England and its history .The Crown jewels will take your breath away .

Absolutley amazing! The yeoman was so funny! I've put a vidio on u tube called "tower of london yeoman scares the life out of a lady in the audience! He shouts so loud! Really made me jump! But it had everybody laughing! So funny! Almost had heart failure! They tell stories but add funny twist to them! Yes you will have a lovley day out!

Cracking day out, the history tours, Crown jewels and learning about the English culture back in the day is second to none

Fantastic experience even if you don't like history. Beautiful views back across the river. Knowledgeable guides. Highly recommend

It was amazing and it is fun for kids to learn a little history behind the tower.

A brilliant heritage site that shows a rich and in depth view of the history of the British monarchy

A must visit., Stop here for some photos., In case you take the river cruise, the view gets a lot better... Most photographed bridge in the world.., but still you will still feel something special or different about the pic you clicked.., visit both in the day and night if possible.

The number of time ID was checked to get was unbelievable just because we are residents of the borough :/

The tour guides are fantastic, so knowledgeable and entertaining. As a historian I found them really historically interesting and I would say this continues to be one of the best tours and attractions in London

Nice place to spend half a day. You learn a lot of history.

Great place to visit.
You spend hours wandering around the castle vaults and rooms..stunning.

I don't know why this structure has become famous even though many such structures are available all over the world

Wonderful place..incredible its stood for almost 1000 years..history is amazing.

Great historical tour. We arrived for the first guided tour for the day. Our guide was great, lots of personality and hilarious. See the crown jewels early so the queue is short. Beautiful grounds, see the ravens and wander through the exhibits.

Great place to visit. Historical and the tour gives a real insight to the place. Only spent a couple of hours here as had other things booked. Would need to spend at least half a day to take it all in.

If you are into modern european history, it is definitely a good place to visit.

Although the Tower is around 1000 years old, I appreciated the efforts made to make as much of it as accessible to me as possible. I was particularly impressed with the comprehensive access guide, detailing accessibility of the various areas around the grounds.

As it was school holidays, there were lots of family-friendly activities. These are an entertaining way for both children and adults to learn about the history of the Tower. I particularly enjoyed the actors dressed up as famous people associated with the Tower, who spoke to members of the public in-character.

On this occasion, we were only able to spend about 3 hours at the Tower, but I would love to visit again one day, possibly spending a whole day.

Second only to Windsor castle. Small and manageable. See the crown jewels! Gorgeous. Good views across the river and London Bridge. Hope in one of the tours if you miss the available tours. Loads of information was supplied by the Beefeaters. Fun place for kids too.

Astounding. Took the tour with the Yeoman (Lawrence was fantastic!) and also purchased the audio tour, which I found well worth the additional cost. It details some of the prisoner s stories and their inscriptions on the walls, which is simply unbelievable to still be surviving. We spent well over 4 hours (2 adults without kids in tow) exploring the grounds, etc.

Very enlightening tour guide, Dave the Beefeater. There are audio guide if you prefer. Did you know there are 20 towers at the Tower of London. I thought there were more Crown jewels at the Tower from visiting as a child. Spent a few hours learning and reminiscing with a friend. Lunch was delicious and did not expect the good standard if food.

Allow yourself a good two hours to see everything here.. it's time well spent. The Beefeater's guided tour is a must! Crown Jewels on display are stunning.

Guided tour was great fun. Lots to see and learn. Only downside was a massive queue for entry to see the crown jewels

Really awesome place. Allow lots of time. Queues look long and can seem daunting but move really fast.

A fabulous day. The beefeater tour is worth joining and once you have paid entrance are free. You learn so much and the guys are such charmers. Crown Jewels are stunning.

A must see when you're in London, with great tours and a lot of history

Incredibly busy in the summer. Best enjoyed during off peak periods. The crown jewels are the main attraction by far and are worth seeing. Entry fee is a little steep.

Very expensive, but definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend doing a beefeater tour because these men know the place inside-out and they're very engaging.

Londra has many well protectes historical places. London castle is one of them to visit

If you are like me you'll need at least three hours to see this. Great place, very well preserved but it was a bit of a maze and there was such a big queue to see the crown jewels. But definitely I would recommend this place to anyone.

Its a global heritage so nothing to say any more. But this is the place where they have showcased their great story of robbery. Stolen Kohinoor from India and put on a showcase here

Insane history and well, well worth the trip. Take your time, especially in the prison tower. Imagine what it would be like living for years up there. The engravings are so cool. The big middle building has a great war museum. I had to rush through it, but if I were to do it again, I would take more time. And then there are the crown jewels.

If you are on the fence, do this one.

Most historic place in London . Over 1000 years old .

Fascinating history with great free tours. The kids loved it, great day out for the family.

Amazing historical place, with fast lines and super nice employees!

I visit the tower every time I am in London, and always learn something new. It's a thousand years old, and that's no exaggeration. Go see it!

It was brilliant. Hadn't been there since I was at school

An amazing opportunity to explore this amazing landmark and to speak to the Yeoman Warders as much as you like. While COVID-19 is still affecting tourism greatly, crowd numbers are down dramatically at the Tower which is terrible for them but does make it an amazing experience if you do go now. No queues, as much time as you want to speak to the amazing Warders and lots of time and space to appreciate the Crown Jewels and the displays in the White Tower itself!

Great day out, lots to see and worth the - expensive - ticket price.

Educational and historical.
The tours were the best- absolute must

Amazing historical spot. Makes sure to get the beefeater tour. It's free and teaches you loads.

Really nice one to visit If you are visiting London and is very near to Tower bridge

Must stop if you are interested in the history of the area even slightly. Great audio tour

Pretty cool castle, perfect 5/7 would look at again. (I didn't go inside though)

Journey back in time. Lots to see and definitely do the beefeater trip.

I visited Tower of London on 21 Dec not knowing much about it beforehand, other than it s where the Crown Jewels are situated. And it ended up being one of the more valuable sights I saw in London! Highly recommend the audio guide especially for solo travellers, which is very modern, intuitive, and has multiple tours and bonus content that you can access. The guide covers off everything from the jewels through to the White Tower, imprisonment in the tower, the armoury, Anne Boleyn, notable prisoners, the ravens, life in the Tower (then and now) and more. There was so much more to the site than I could have anticipated.

Lots to see, ticket is worth it. Arrive at least 3 hours before it closes and you should be able to do everything.

Excellent day out. The tours run periodically through the day for no extra charge. They last around 1 hour and are well worth attending. Allow extra time to go into the various exhibits, including the crown jewels and a large collection of weapons and armour that form part of the Royal Armouries.

The oldest part the White Tower, dates back to 1078 and many visitors come to see the Yeoman Warders or Beefeaters, armour and armaments, the collection of the Royal Jewels on this 12 acre site in London and Ravens. Of course there's much more to see and learn about the Tower of London which recently hosted a commemorative 100th anniversary World War I art exhibit that grew along the base of the tower walls into the moat to spectacular and meaningful effect in 2014. Tour the tower where noted historical figures were imprisoned and some waited their execution. Expect long lines but plan ahead and you won't be disappointed. Tower Hill tube station. Within viewing distance of Tower Bridge.

Didn't see the crown jewels, there's quite a queue, so not on such a lovely day. Next time. Loved it, the tower is just magnificent :)

The Beefeater was really great! The crown jewels were spectacular, but the Beefeater steals the show.

Brilliant the Yeoman Warders give a fantastic and entertaining your. Credit to Gary he was fantastic
