It was fun visiting the Tower of London but the tour we paid for wasn’t that great. The tour guide was too verbose and the tour crowd was too large.

Our City Wonders UK guide Joe was quite late to meet us at the entrance. He spoke briefly about some history, but mostly about the torture and killing. However, our Beefeater guide was great! She gave us lots of information and showed us around. Then we explored the Crown Jewels on our own. Magnificent.

Have been before but so much better with a beefeater guide. You meet inside the Tower grounds so no hanging around outside. Our guide was called Barney - funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable. We did the 10.00 tour, there were around 40-45 people but could all hear clearly what was said. The guide does not come in to any building, you visit those after the tour; we went to the jewels and there was no queue.

A fascinating delve into one of London's most enduring areas. I got there early on a Saturday morning and the fast-moving queue meant I was able to see the Crown Jewels within fifteen minutes of opening time! Definitely get there early if you can to avoid the worst of the crowds. Aside from the Crown Jewels there is the Fusilier's Museum (a quiet little place with lots of military memorabilia), the White Tower (the best part in my opinion), a walk along the battlements, and a little about imprisonment and torture. Lots of seating and toilets, the ravens are an odd little curio, and plenty of photo opportunities.

The tour was very interesting and we appreciated the perspective our guide provided. The guide was a Beefeater, so his military experience and knowledge of the history of the Tower and surrounding buildings made the experience feel unique. We enjoyed being able to explore independently after the overview our guide provided. The only hiccup was locating the start of the tour. It was fairly crowded and some construction changed the meeting point. The folks working at the Tower were very helpful in showing us where to find the tour. All was fine in the end and we would recommend this tour.

Wheel chairs have no elevator or ramp to go into the buildings with stairs. The Crown Jewels were spectacular to see and learn about.

Don't bother with the audio guide - talk to the volunteers. Because to go to the left on starting. The jewels are amazing. The entire place and it's age are very impressive.
