Must see but compare pricing before buying.

3.00Unless I missed something this tour just gets you the same experience as those who buy a ticket at the site. This is definitely a must see site while in London. It is generally self guided unless you want to wait and follow a Beefeater along with dozens of others. You can also rent an audio tour device upon entry. We purchased the audio tour and found it a good way to see the tower and understand what you are seeing. We spent about 3 hours at the site. Recommend going at opening time and seeing the Crown Jewels early in your visit. I would definitely compare ticket prices at the tower web site to the Viator price and just pick the best price.
Do early admission

5.00Do an early entry if at all possible. It definitely made a difference for us and lines weren’t bad. Go see the Crown Jewels when you get there. We went as soon as we got there and the line was short
Worth seeing

4.00Pretty much saw everything on our own. Difficult to determine where to meet a guide, just found our own Beefeater, who was awesome, then was on our own.
Do not buy this tour unless you know where you’re going!

1.00The directions to get to the tour are terrible, we had no idea where we were going, and I’m still not sure that we even went on the correct tour. I wish I had not paid in advance. I should have just paid at the tower of London and then I would’ve had more clear directions.
It’s such an interesting...

1.00They cancelled the tour part without notice due to heat. They didn't even send an email and no one responded to the chat when we couldn't find the group. Only found out when we asked the ticket taker. Tower of London was still open, so we just walked around ourselves.

4.00Thankfully, we went on the early end...30 minutes after they opened. There were many school groups that morning, but the rest of the crowd wasn't too great. But once we were ready to leave.... If you're planning to see the jewels, DEFINITELY go early. Even with an early entry, and no line really, it was quite crowded already. They architecture is lovely, and it makes for a lovely stop during your visit to London. Oh, and don't be afraid to take the tube. There is a stop conveniently located within walking distance of the tower.
Quick entry and great experience
