This place is full of history and you could easily spend several hours here. I do feel a bit disappointed as I visited with my family and a majority of the hands on activities for children were broken. There was a shooting activity that was working as many people were using it, but it was apparently broken according to some poorly placed signage. Oddly, this was the only device with a broken sign despite none of them working. I did witness the staff decide to scold only one parent and child for using the activity despite the signage. I felt this could have been handled better by the staff as the child was visibly upset that they had made an error. Overall, this place has some great historical pieces and the buildings are incredible. To me, the cost wasn’t worth the experience I had with my family.

So organized- didn’t feel crowded as there are multiple things to go to at your own speed. Love that’s it’s not just a “ follow this path” tour.

Well lived here over 55 years and a first time visitor. Now I know spending over £70 on a visitor attraction goes against the grain BUT it’s a good viewing lots to see. Jewellery ok armoury fascinating to be fair good all round tour. Ravens are as big as cats just massive. Nice to see beefeaters doing the rounds.

Loved it!! The tour was awesome! Yeoman Scott Kelly was so much fun and had amazing stories to tell. I loved how he involved audience members and how he asked how gory/gruesome we wanted the tales, Definitely worth a visit!

We booked at 3 pm and at checkin were told we wouldn’t have time to see everything. So, why did they allow us to book a 3 pm tour. And, we didn’t have our Yeoman tour either!! Would like to know why? Slightly disappointed with this tour.

We had an incredible time touring the Tower of London earlier this week, and a huge part of that was thanks to our Beefeater guide, Barry. This man is a storytelling machine — equal parts historian, comedian, and master crowd-herder. He brought centuries of history to life with the kind of passion that makes you forget you’re standing in a 900-year-old fortress in the cold. From royal intrigue to unbelievable tales of survival, Barry delivered it all with charm and energy. The Tower itself is an unforgettable place, but hearing its stories through someone who truly loves what he does made the experience even more special. If you’re heading to the Tower, do yourself a favor and catch Barry’s tour. You’ll walk away laughing, learning, and already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!

We had an excellent tour with Warder Hardy. He was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. He was very aware of the demographics of his group and played very well to the children. It was such a fun tour!

Many things to see and learn about this place. The “beefeater” guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We thought we would spend and hour or two there and ended up staying for 5 hours. Would definitely recommend
