We went in January, when the tourist crowds were not very big - and this was well worth the money and five hours spent there. What a cool place! Eat at the Wagamama's right nearby! The Beefeater tour is a must! more

The best attraction in London. Take a Beefeater tour, and give yourself several hours to see everything. It's a pity the audio-guide is not more comprehensive though more

Go early to avoid long queues. History is fascinating. A tour guide makes it more memorable. more

Everyone should visit the Tower when in London (early in your visit so that you can get a good history lesson that applies everywhere). Arrive early in the day, skip the Beefeater tour and head right for the crown jewels (before the crowds), then go back and get the Beefeater Tour. The guards are very knowledgeable and tell funny stories... more

We were only in London for two days as part of our eleven day European vacation. We chose to do the British Airways Eye, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, War Museums and the Tower of London. The Tower of London was, by far, one of the most interesting tourist destinations and well worth the visit. Unfortunately, we only spent a couple... more

While the view of the castle is fabulous we were surprised to be treated so rudely by the staff at the Tower of London. Be warned if you are traveling with children do not take part in the guided tours as the tour guides are not "child friendly" and the staff running them did not seem to care for children. more

This is a great place to visit while in London. I would deffinitely suggest getting the guided audio tour as you learn so much more then you would just reading the descriptions. The Tower Bridge is also about a 3 minute walking distance from the Tower of London and worth the walk across (didn't pay to walk above but walked... more

Where to start? The Tower of London contains nearly 1,000 years of history within it's foreboding structure. This location is one of the most popular tourist attractions in England. It is also, alledgedly, the most haunted location in the world, according to various paranormal experts. My wife and I while on honeymoon here, experienced some rather odd events, that I... more

This is a winner for all age groups. It's really large, so plan on a day here-it's got great history for those into beheadings and other gory details! It was not cheap to get into either, so I'd say the day is not only for the time, but to get maximum value too- more

On our European vacation we had visited London and went to the Tower of London. The entrance fee is a bit pricey (especially with the current USD) but it was worth it. Seeing all of the Royal Jewels was quite something. I especially loved the wood interior designs and red carpets. If your visiting London and want to see into... more
