Really nice experience, inside the bridge you can download an 'audio guide that tells the history of the bridge construction, there are really interesting and unique viewpoints, walking on the glass is a really impressive experience. Not insignificant detail: the reservation time is approximate, so even if you arrive a little earlier or a little later, you get in without any problems.

The glass bottom experience was the coolest thing I ve done in London so far. Cooler than the London Eye.. scary and exciting at the same time
Angus

The experience was amazing. The views are outstanding, with the high rises of the city dwarfing the ancient St Paul's cathedral and Tower of London. The tour was very informative and the glass walkway rather unnerving. It was not crowded so you could move through the attraction at your own pace. Plenty of great restaurants nearby to top of an amazing evening. Best done at night when the city is a mass of lights.

It was so easy and useful. We just printed the tickets and entered the bridge and enjoed it. After I bought the tickets I had read so many negative comments and experiences about headout. I was really stressed. I had 9 tickets for 3 different places. I had contacted to lical agencies and got confirmation if the tickets were valid or not. I got positive replies and I didn't have any problem in London. Headout is really reliable.

A great way to learn loads about an iconic global landmark and its history. Plenty of information boards, videos and audio tracks to inform and entertain. The glass walkway was just brilliant-provided you are not too scared of heights! I reckon I am pretty immune but still got a weird feeling watching the boats go though the bridge underneath my feet. A long way underneath my feet !! Allow a good hour plus to do it all properly.

The place for the queue outside was not indicated at all. So when we arrived we didn t know there was a (very big) queue... We had our prebooked tickets but it was so crowded and there was no signalisation to let visitors with tickets know Where they must wait for. You should put 2 lines : one for people without tickets or with later tickets ; a second line with the good Time.

Overall it was a really fun experience- the bridge lifted whilst we were up there so that was pretty interesting, some of the other guests were quite rude to the staff and fellow customers, not that that is a fault of the venue but it might be an idea to have more than one guide up there whilst another is presenting. We got made to feel like naughty school kids for queuing up with our travel bags and when we asked where we should take them, the young lady was awfully blunt "I think there's a place down there, don't know" shrugs and walks off.

The visit to Tower Bridge was a real highlight for us. It is totally impressive and incredibly well done. Especially for families. Our children thought it was one of the best experiences in London and we really saw a lot and I think we expected the least from the bridge beforehand. You can't imagine that it can look like this inside a bridge. Really great. Thank you!!!

We liked Tower Bridge and the engine room very much. Most of all the glass floor at the top of the bridge, and the beautifully maintained old machinery down in the engine room. Buying tickets was no problem, and it was good that we had tickets in advance as there was a queue of visitors at the entrance.

Tower Bridge is spectacular and well worth a visit. We enjoyed the view from the bridge and down through the glass floor. We found the history of the bridge and the details of the operation of the bridge fascinating. A member of staff also told us of a bridge lift later that day to let a cruise ship through and that was amazing to witness.

Hello, After having booked the tickets for the London Eyes, I recommend the experience, but I find that the ticket remains expensive for just 30min of wheel, even if the sight from the top of this one remains impregnable. I would recommend this activity, especially at night.

The process was so smooth that we almost couldn't believe it. We had pre-ordered tickets but there wasn't a long queue. Maybe 5 minutes waiting time. We were there during the week and the weather was medium. It is barrier-free and the staff put ramps in front of the gondolas so that nothing can happen. Can only be recommended

Dec 2024Verified booking
The staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. They carried out their duties in a professional - but friendly and welcoming way. Check-in was simple, the gentlemen at the security check were thorough but did not cause me any stress ahead of my long awaited experience. As it turned out, I was so excited I left my backpack behind me at the checkpoint and only realised this when the doors of my gondola were closing. The team loading visitors into the gondolas assured me that the bag would be put aside and kept with care. The expeirence on the London Eye itself was fantastic. There were four of us in the gondola and the other couple (featuring a wheelchair user) and my sister and I rotated positions in the gondola so we all got to see every angle throughout the flight. When we disembarked, it was a simple process to get back to the security checkpoint and when I told the person at the checkpoint that I had forgotten my bag, he asked some questions to verify that I really did know the bag in question. I then signed for the bag and we were good to go. SUPER EXPERIENCE and would highly recommend doing it on a clear day in November.

I thought the experience was excellent except having to stand in a queue for too long (for someone disabled). Could a few seats be provided. I was in a queue for 15 minutes which was extremely painful standing for that long Excellent help getting on and off the pod itself. Overall a wonderful experience .

Undoubtedly take the ticket on line if you have never been in London and want to take advantage of the time. We arrived on a Monday, it was a bit crowded but as we had the tickets on line we went straight through. The experience is expensive but satisfying, an activity that you should definitely do since you are in London. Our skies were clear and we didn't get rained on in October. The half hour you are suspended is quickly spent admiring the views.

The reason I didn't rate it awesome was because there was a ticket missing, booked as a group with T-o-L. Therefore I had to pay for an additional ticket, and worried about whether I would be able to travel with my group. It all worked out in the end, but caused me some anxiety.

Very good visit ! we stayed there for a little over 2 hours to tour the site and explore the different rooms. There is a lot to see and it is very interesting. Opportunity to see the Crown Jewels (which is the reason for our visit) but everything else about the tour is just as amazing ! You will be able to see for example: the White Tower, the ravens, the Chapel, as well as different exhibition rooms which give you a lot of explanations... all with a view of the Tower Bridge.

Buying the tickets was quick and easy, and we were inside the Tower in no time. Every 30 minutes, there’s a free guided tour with a Yeoman, which we joined and would highly recommend. Our guide was both funny and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. After the tour, we explored the different buildings inside the Tower at our own pace. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tower of London, especially the Warden tour. We allocated 4 hrs but it just wasn't enough time. Was disappointed with tower bridge as we thought that we would see under the bridge workings a d engine e room, but it was just a display of the engines in a building. The walkways were interesting. Views were amazing

Given the price of the attraction, I expected the audio guide to be included. I used the online audio guide indicated at the time of entry but had difficulty, especially at first, locating the tour route and identifying the places corresponding to the comments in the guidebook itself. I suggest that the route of the visit be more clearly indicated by also putting up signs at the places with which a commentary is associated in the audioguide

We had a wonderful time and the half day trip to Windsor Castle was defenitley worth it! If you are thinking about going, do it! Our guide Ava and driver Trisha were excellent! The bus was very nice and clean, and pick up was a breeze. There was plenty of room on the bus as the entire group size ended up only being about 20 people, which was nice! Trisha was an excellent driver and very nice! Ava was fantastic and talked about some of the history of the castle and royalty on the ride up. Ava walked us up to the castle and gave us our wristbands for entry. She gave great instructions on how to get back to the bus after as well. After going through quick security, We got there just in time to see the changing of the guard. We had plenty of time to see the State Apartments & St.George Chapel (we skipped the dollhouse) & then grabbed some coffee and did some shopping before heading back to the bus. Only a few times/rooms throughout the tour did it feel busy/crowded, so it was nice to take our time and see everything without having to wait on people/room to move around. We were dropped back off at our pickup point after. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting London and has never been to Windsor before.

As I'm not American I resent the choice of the word awesome but it was excellent We arrived at 9.40 were near the front of a queue and practically first in the Tower which meant we saw the guards coming to open the gates We went straight away to the Crown Jewels and almost had them to ourselves . Very well displayed As I use an elbow crutch one of the guards very helpfully enabled my entrance to the white tower by a back stair . The refreshments were excellent in the cafe which is a v good size . A very enjoyable visit

Really nice experience, inside the bridge you can download an 'audio guide that tells the history of the bridge construction, there are really interesting and unique viewpoints, walking on the glass is a really impressive experience. Not insignificant detail: the reservation time is approximate, so even if you arrive a little earlier or a little later, you get in without any problems.

The experience was amazing. The views are outstanding, with the high rises of the city dwarfing the ancient St Paul's cathedral and Tower of London. The tour was very informative and the glass walkway rather unnerving. It was not crowded so you could move through the attraction at your own pace. Plenty of great restaurants nearby to top of an amazing evening. Best done at night when the city is a mass of lights.

Having to go into various lifts to get to the roof made it feel like you was going higher, kids loved it! The view towards Tower Bridge and The Tower of London with the poppies shining on the walls was spectacular . My photo doesn't do it justice. A little pricy but worth it.

It was so easy and useful. We just printed the tickets and entered the bridge and enjoed it. After I bought the tickets I had read so many negative comments and experiences about headout. I was really stressed. I had 9 tickets for 3 different places. I had contacted to lical agencies and got confirmation if the tickets were valid or not. I got positive replies and I didn't have any problem in London. Headout is really reliable.

A great way to learn loads about an iconic global landmark and its history. Plenty of information boards, videos and audio tracks to inform and entertain. The glass walkway was just brilliant-provided you are not too scared of heights! I reckon I am pretty immune but still got a weird feeling watching the boats go though the bridge underneath my feet. A long way underneath my feet !! Allow a good hour plus to do it all properly.

The view amazing, well placed to view the city at such a high elevation. Quick lifts and not very busy. Issues were Not much seating if there was more we would have stayed for a few more drinks Price of drinks was expensive, also no draught beers Just have a sofa or continuous seating around the walls you would then have loads of people staying longer drinking spending money

I've been back to The Shard after more than 10 years and am once again thrilled by the view. It was just a shame about the weather, although it was dry, which is half the battle for a trip like this, and nobody has any influence on it.

The place for the queue outside was not indicated at all. So when we arrived we didn t know there was a (very big) queue... We had our prebooked tickets but it was so crowded and there was no signalisation to let visitors with tickets know Where they must wait for. You should put 2 lines : one for people without tickets or with later tickets ; a second line with the good Time.

Overall it was a really fun experience- the bridge lifted whilst we were up there so that was pretty interesting, some of the other guests were quite rude to the staff and fellow customers, not that that is a fault of the venue but it might be an idea to have more than one guide up there whilst another is presenting. We got made to feel like naughty school kids for queuing up with our travel bags and when we asked where we should take them, the young lady was awfully blunt "I think there's a place down there, don't know" shrugs and walks off.

The ride on the London Eye was great. Super organized, despite long queues it went quickly. TOP! The boat trip was difficult as no one knew where to go and where we were allowed to go with the ticket. So we only went from London Eye to Tower Bridge. But this trip was great. Super funny guide who explained everything to us.

The visit to Tower Bridge was a real highlight for us. It is totally impressive and incredibly well done. Especially for families. Our children thought it was one of the best experiences in London and we really saw a lot and I think we expected the least from the bridge beforehand. You can't imagine that it can look like this inside a bridge. Really great. Thank you!!!

One of the key highlights is the glass floor in the high-level walkway. From 42 m above the River Thames, you can get a complete view of London and spot iconic attractions such as the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, London Eye, City Hall, The Shard, Wembley, and London itself.
South Tower
View video footage of the Bridge lifting and original designs of the Tower Bridge. As you walk down the South Tower, you will learn about the people who have kept the tower running since 1894. Amongst the pictures and plaques, you will also find the original tools and materials used to build the tower.

Once you exit the South Tower, you will find a blue line that leads up to the Engine Room. Don't simply follow the line. Take a moment to observe the names that have been featured here. The line commemorates the men and the women who helped construct and maintain this iconic bridge.
