Walking tower which includes early access to the Crown Jewels. It was fun and probably worth the price to get in a little early. It was very crowded by the time we were done. The rest is a walking tour and an Uber Boat ride down the Thames to get to your next stop. We had a knowledgeable guide, Babs, who made things fun.

Great way to see the crown jewels, Tower of London, river Thames and Buckingham Palace. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps and walk long distances.
