UNESCO Reviews

Great experience here - really enjoyed the live performance and the exhibit inside the White Tower. Cheers to the performers and the team keeping the Tower running!

Great place to visit and immerse yourself in the world's History!

Great docents with interesting stories. Amazing history. Organized, clean and relaxed.

London is such an amazing place can't wait to go back

Just visit and be prepare to spend at least 3 hours ))

A must see if you are vacationing in London. They give daily tours inside and in the Engine Room below ground. Not a long excursion. You can probably see everything in an hour or two, but it's a quintessential landmark to appreciate.

A must see in London and near to several other sights. Make sure to get a guided tour of the estate to make the most of it and visit early to have pleasant experience it gets very crowded elsewise.

Stay clear of the cafe as the prices are very steep and not worth it considering the quality.

Visited Paris and London during our honeymoon, and this was definitely my favorite part. Amazing tour by the yeoman who guided us, Matt Prime. Make sure you do the yeoman guided tour of you do visit.

Allow at least 4 to 5 hours for a good look around don't rush it. Amazing history here just take your time and take in all in.

Need a full day to see it all. Get in line early and head straight to the Crown Jewels. That line fills up quickly.

I'm just going to contectualise this by saying I love the medieval history of London so I'm probably a little biased, but the whole Tower of London experience was awesome!
We went on a beautiful sunny afternoon and managed to sneak in just as one of the Beef Eaters (the guide/guard) named Spike was starting the tour. The guided tour lasted about 30 mins and went into the history both the buildings themselves and the happenings within the buildings during the first half of the second century. Spike was a fantastic speaker and we learnt a lot!
After that we spent a good few hours having a look at all the other parts of the tower; the Crown Jewels and history of the monarchy, armory (weapons and armor from the year 1000 to now), the history of the soldiers themselves during the multiple wars fought in and by London (again between 1000-now) and simply taking in the views and reveling in the knowledge that everything around us was pretty much the same as it was 1000 years ago.
It's a little pricey as far as tours go but I'd highly recommend putting aside a few hours and seeing it!

Were else in the world are their crown jewels out of this world. Not to mention the history and the ravens. If you can book for the opening ceremony, it is a must

Beautiful, the prices are a little bit expensive but it s possible to enjoy numerous discounts

The last time I walked through these gates was in a Naval Platoon in 2013, conducting military ceremonies. So visiting as a civilian was a very much different aspect. The Tower of London, sits at a pinnacle of majesty and embedding of British History. Without spoiling it, I recommend if you have a long holiday in London. Pay a visit to the Tower and step back in time. The only one main issue I have for this visit is the price as its not a cheap visit. So, make sure you bring plenty of money. Overall, a enjoyable and enriching visit.

Interesting visit, educative and ingenious while beautiful and well maintained.

Great place with wonderful history, but too crowded and lots of rooms with limited access for tourists

Interesting historic place to visit. Many museums in one. Helpful staff! They all had interesting facts to share. The food in the restaurants & cafe was very good.

On the outside it looks very impressive. You can walk around it to get the feel for it. The bridge looks better than on a postcard. You can get some nice selfies when you are on the opposite side. It also easier to appreciate the size of the bridge and the tower of London

A load of history about the monarchy of england.
In addition to visiting all the tower and seeing their history, I also went and visited the Crown Jewels.

It was very cool to see and all the jewels are quite jaw dropping.

Would recommend visiting!

Another must when you visit London. If you want to go inside the tower go early to avoid queues or simply walk around and enjoy the sights from the outside. There's enough to see and do anytime.

Best day of my vacation in London. Give the Beefeaters the respect their due.

A small slice of London history - rich in cultural practices and a definite must-visit for everyone who steps foot in London city.

Whether you are a tourist visiting from abroad or a local Londoner that has never been, you will certainly learn a lot about the rich history within the walls of this thousand year old fortress.

The Crown Jewels alone are a good enough reason to visit but the best reason to visit would be the wonderful yeomen; the beefeaters are certainly a wonderful bunch of human beings - an amazing day out for the whole family.

Enjoyed the tour! Make sure to avail the guided tour by the yeoman guard! Last one is 2:30pm. Best to enter early so you can still roam around after seeing the crown jewels, which is not in the main tower. The Main tower is a separate museum altogether with a dragon on the topmost floor and it's own souvenir shop at the basement.

This place is a must visit if you're in London. The tickets are costly though but you can get good deals online. If you're interested to see crown jewels and coins, this is the place to go.

One of my favourite tourist attractions in London. Don't miss out on the Beef Eaters Tour. Allow at least 3-4 hours to fully explore The Tower of London. Crown Jewels can be viewed. Good views of London from the walls around the Tower. Eligible for the 2 for 1 national rail promotion.

Good day out but best to do it on a deal so keep a lookout especially the national Rail one! Personally find 30 for an adult a bit too much for what it was there was alot to see.

It was really nice there. Funny tour from one of the Beef Eaters . It was a little bit crowded, but I think this is normal.

Very crowded but a must-see for sure. If you come during the day especially during the summer or another holiday, expect it to be packed with tourists. As such, I wouldn't recommend making many purchases, as everything is overpriced.
Definitely take a tour with the yeomen, they are hilarious. The Crown Jewels exhibit is stunning and while the line may look intimidating at times, it moves quickly.

It was going swimmingly for me, until (through my own fault) I tripped. Banged my face off an 800 year old stone bench and broke my front tooth. A Beefeater was very helpful in giving me a plaster from a first aid kit, because there didn't seem to be any medical facilities for public visitors. Suppose I'm not the first Irishman to go into the Tower of London, and come out bruised and bloody.

Also, I totally loved the Ravens.

Absolutely stunning place to visit. The history there is mind boggling. Just seeing Crown Jewels is worth the price of admission!

Go alone, go with the family, or take a school party! Each time you'll get something different from this important, historic castle. Having on this occasion taken a school party I can report that the workshops are accessible and the pupils picked up some of the character of events over the ages.

Being there for yourself is overwhelming. Consider the conversations, decisions and events which have occurred. Plus the buildings are pretty impressive too.

It's not the cheapest attraction in London but pick your time and you could get the place pretty much to yourself.

A great attraction to visit, it's like traveling back in time. So many interesting things to see and do. Don't miss out on a tour by one of the Beefeaters!

Somewhat interesting place to visit, they have audio guides available too.

It's a beautiful place. The guided tour was the best part of it which helped a lot in understanding the history of the place.

Oh wow! Wonderful historical site. Please take the time to tour with the Beefeaters. They are a invaluable fount of knowledge, humor, and cultural insight. The tower is famous for the crown jewels but the grounds and the interest points are priceless as well. And don't forget the get the best fish and chips in London while there.

an ancient castle with multiple functions. You can see many jewelry display in the castle and also see how they protected the the area as a fortress.

Beautiful historical place where you could learn a lot about the city of London. Must visit!

No trip to London is complete without a trip to the Tower. Incredible history. Beautiful grounds. So much to see. Give yourself lots of time to explore.

These monuments indicate the power of Great Britain and its imperiium

Bit expensive but the staff and tour guides were helpful, knowledgeable and funny! Lots to see and great photo ops!

The best attraction in London! Such a rich history and so much to see within it. We spent 5 hours here and could have easily stayed longer. Go early see the crown jewels first then do the Beefeater tour which is very insightful. Head to the white tower and then your times your own to do the rest. You will not be disappointed!

Fabulous installation in an atmospheric surrounding.

Very good scenic tourist palace full of history. Great show leading up to the 1918 Remembrance Centenary.

I loved my experience at the Tower of London so much I went twice! Staff are amazing, Yeoman Warders are very approachable and give fantastic tours. Plan to spend an entire day here I'd say, so rich in history!

4 hours worth of exploring. The yeoman warder was both interesting, funny and delightful to be around. A must see.

I have visited the tower of london at least 3 times and still wants to be back. It's an amazing tour through London's history. Just a tip...wear comfortable shoes.

With a group on an evening tour with Dave, one of the Yeoman warders. Lots of history and info. Dave had a great sense humour and made the tour really interesting. Witnessed the 'Ceremony of the Keys'. Worth the visit and would recommend it to others

30 pounds is expensive but it is worth it, there is so much too see and learn about. Fun for the whole family!

One of my favorite London attractions. Well worth the price. I could spend hours just in the armory. Take the Yeoman Warder tour. Informative and I think one of the only ways to see the Chapel Royal unless you go to a mass. Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, and Jane Grey's graves are there. After the tour walk the walls and towers on your own. There is some amazing prisoner graffiti in some of towers. If you see a souvenir you like in one of the many gift shops buy it, it's likely more expensive outside. Take a camera, so many great picture, even before you get inside. The only place you can't take pictures is in Jewel house and in one of the towers they have replica Jewels. For some strange reason they don't want you taking pictures of them either, I found out the hard way.

Everything you'd expect and so much more. The Warden tour was a blast but not so much for the American's who missed most of the jokes or realized most of then were at their expense. We laughed so hard. Zoo experience was a treat. Go early and avoid the crowds - especially the bus loads of tourists that just don't care or pay attention.

Great day out. Crown jewels are amazing. You could spend a whole day there!

A bit of something for everyone. The crown jewels, executions, prisoners, ravens, beefeaters, armory, uprisings, wild animal menagerie and maybe even a little haunting, all at the tower of London. There is so much to do here you can spend a whole day here. It also looks like its very own enclosed village.

The tower of london is a great place to visit and i recommend doing the Beefeater tour. There is one issue though, included in the admissions is voluntary donation, which is not always made clear especially if english is not your first language. Its not a lot unless your on tight budget or paying for a large group. I brought my ticket at the tower, the website booking might be clearer.

We had a fun day out here. The yeoman s tour was funny and we found it all very interesting. Also fascinating is that people live there. We thought looking at the Crown Jewels was the most boring part and you have to queue for ages to see them

One mile stone completed from bucket list. Its privileged to visit this amazing bridge. The architecture is very astonishing. Always a crowded place with full of visitors.

Loved this visit, so much to learn about the history of the tower, paintings and very lifelike statues and images.

A great attraction. The arqiteture is beautiful. The entrance should be easiest by accepting all mobile tickets.

Much larger inside than it appears on the outside. You could easily spend the better part of a day here.

Fantastic historical experience .... but you must get there when it opens (or you will wish you were at disneyland - the lines will be shorter).

One of my favorites on this trip. Couldn't believe the crowned jewels were real. I have been assured they are!

go to england
head to restaurant next door for food
watch is set to timezone of my hometown
ask someone what time it is
TOYME? WOTS THAT?
notice he doesn t have a watch
nobody in england has a watch
big ben starts to chime
everyone stops what they re doing to count the bongs on their fingers
man crashes his car trying to count the bongs
waitress drops my order on the floor to count her fingers
man running down the street: OI! IT S 7 BONG

Hadn't been for years, glad I went back with the family. Excellent day trip to London to see the Tower. Lots to see and do. Had a great tour given by Clive the Yeoman. Highlight was seeing the ravens and the crown jewels.

Love this place - so beautiful, but a bloody, frightening history.

So much history to explore. i enjoyed the audio tour but so much is not included in it. expect to climb a lot of steps. Did not allocate enough time for audio and beefeater tour and so missed beefeater and really regret it. crown jewels line was too long for us.

Stunning place. As you see on my photo the view is gorgeous.

This is where you can see the most precious pieces from the royal, a must visit place.

A part of British history... a guided tour from a yeoman (or woman) is a must (every 30 mins). The Tower has history tied together with the Abbey, so try seeing them on the same day so you can learn about the connection between them. Also, Tower Bridge is right next door.

Good place to explore British history, great prices for great expectations, also near hotels and restaurants has beautiful architecture and a good place for a day with the kids or not.

Very pretty, well worth a look as you stroll by to Tower Bridge. If I go in I will rate again!

Brilliant. Especially loved the tour which gave us a good understanding before exploring more freely. Just a bit pricey...but i figure you only do it once!

I'm not easily impressed by jewelry, but the Crown Jewel are really impressive. The other attractions were less interesting for me (apart from white tower that includes exhibition of weaponry and shows how the king lived a long time ago). I was going around by myself, but I think it's a good idea to attend a tour by a Beefeater, it sounded very interesting and funny when I run into it a few times. I bought a ticket online and printed it at a counter for group tickets with no queue at all. The lion sculpture attached is my favorite.

A must see in London. Always busy during visiting hours but worth the hustle and bustle. The beefeaters are very colorful in their garb. Plan on spending several hours.

Highly recommend this pageant of history. Guided tours excellent. But it is laid out and explained well enough to discover on your own. We were fascinated with the castle s evolution from William s first wall to present state. Crown Jewels alone are worth the price of admit. Wonderful views of modern London from Middle Ages windows. I would say allow 2 hrs to see it. More if you re prone to becoming absorbed in the history

What an amazing piece of history, and World Heritage site.
