Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

Super convenient to book from home. I would recommend it to anyone. Otherwise the queues can be quite long or you don't even get in. Everything worked great and the tower is really very interesting and worth seeing.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

We did the early access( 8:30 am on 3/1) to the Crown Jewels with a Beefeater. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the area /the reason for the ravens/ exploring the different areas ,and it was nice skipping the lines, too! I would highly recommend this tour / tour company!
Direct access to the tower. You could be navigated directly to the entrance via the app and the stored tickets. Great

It's a magnificent place, steeped in history. The only drawback is that there's a lot of English reading and no translation. But very nice visit! The Crown Jewels are absolutely incredible.

Everything was very interesting!
the tower of london was ama inv so much to see and our three grandchildren loved it all ,especially the crown jewels and the mint collection ton ,can't belive we are londoners and have never been before ,the poppy displays were stunning ,that was the highlight for me so beautiful we all had a fab time ,the children loved chatting with the friendly yeomans as well , ,we had lunch in the cafe which was all plentiful & delicious ,we will definitely go again
The guide is only in English, so it's difficult for French people with average English. We didn't know right away that there were audio guides.

Beautiful in the castle, the 'environment but especially the speaker who accompanied us with a curious explanation, trivia and lots of humor. Beautiful reconstructed historical scenes and outstanding crown jewels.

The highlight of my visit was the beefeater guide and the story telling. Mollie, at the ticket entrance, was so kind and thoughtful. She is as beautiful as the jewels we saw.
Brilliant day out, lots of interesting things to see and it was lovely to see the Poppies cascading around the Tower. Would highly recommend anyone who hasn't visited to go ahead and buy a ticket, you will not be disappointed.
It was a lovely day weather wise which is a plus, guide was really good , and the beefeater also interesting and numerous as well

It was two very great tours. I did upgrade my ticket at the booth on the peer for only 4pds to take the riverboat tour. Very informative.
The information and tickets and reminders are good options. However I booked for two adults and a child and they sent me tickets for two adults and a senior, being a higher cost.

It was great experiences ! London Eye gives an amazing view of London, it was ideal for us to start our journey. We have also loved Tower Bridge, with a mix of historical explanations and beautiful views from the bridge; the transparent part the bridge is impressive, and machine room is great !
It was not overcrowded. We had an evening ticket for 7pm. We read beforehand that up to 28 people can get into the capsules. We were actually 8 people in total. It was very pleasant and you could walk around. I would definitely book it again.

Everything was perfect, but it could have been a failure because when we arrived at the starting point there was nothing that helped us find where to meet our guide. We asked several of the Tower people working there and they all said we had to get on the end of the extraordinary long line. By our own initiative we were lucky enough to find the guide group.
Easy meeting spot. Our guide Ben had the right mix of humour and history to keep us entertained and we had Nev the Beefeater who was also excellent. Ben gave us all the information we needed to continue exploring this iconic site
The experience was fantastic. Getting the early access and seeing the gate opening and Crown Jewels without the crowds was unbelievable. Louisa is a fantastic guide who is both knowledgeable with spots of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable. Her wealth of knowledge was amazing and informative. Five stars to her!
The punctuality and the 'excellent organization. The guide, micael, very nice. It was especially nice to see the tower with a small group.

Nice organization, the cruise captain was hilarious too.
The London Eye gave us great views - we enjoyed it. We were put in our space with a large group and that was not ideal. It was hard to move around to see different areas due to so many people taking up most of the window space and places to sit. We were not able to do our river cruise. The boat captain said the operation of the combo ticket had changed and we could only take the boat one way to the Tower of London. I was disappointed to not do this part of the ticket and to forfeit my money since we were unable to reschedule in the short time we were there. Maybe I should give this a lower rating since it was not really good!
The gentleman on the boat deserves a 20/10 for the live guide. He was so friendly and you could tell that he enjoyed doing it

From booking the experience I was kept updated with information on the app and was well informed on where to go. Once there it was so simple, queuing for the London Eye was quick and seamless and after on the river cruise was exactly that, a cruise! Would definitely recommend, staff friendly and great day out (helped that the weather was fabulous!)
It was very practical to buy online, it made my life easier, the tour was beautiful, unforgettable memories:smiling_face_with_hearts

Great London Eyes experience. Cruise a little short for my taste, but worth doing. The staff at both were super friendly and smiling.
View original review in French
The London Eye is good with the skip line, good service, but the River cruise ticket was confusing me. First, I don't know how to get to the entrance to the cruise, the ticket is not clear what is the cruise name and it was only one way ticket. I got drop off at Greenwich which I am not expected, so I have to found the way the get back the hotel.
London Eye : Hardly any waiting time with Fastline , Beautiful view over London Cruise : Knowledgeable information from the captain during the cruise, but late departure (which is generally not a bad thing), but no information on site

The cruise portion of the ticket was sold as 40 minute round trip boat ride. When we showed up for the cruise, we were told that tickets were only good for one way 30 minute boat ride from London Eye pier to Tower Hill.

I liked everything, however at the time of booking you should make more emphasis on the fact that the hop-on hop-off Bus Tour company is Tootbus.
View original review in Spanish
It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.
The bus and the commentary were generally very good. However, compared to other hop on/hop off buses, the buses arrived infrequently and very irregularly.
View original review in German
The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.
The mixture of an open top bus tour and a boat tour was a great experience! Buying the ticket online was easy and hassle-free.

The tour itself and the tour provider were excellent. However, it was not what was advertised. My tour took place on a Monday. According to the tour guide, there was never a Change of Guard on a Monday to observe, however, this was a key part of the tour title and even in reading the small print it said that it did take place on a Monday. Advertising a 'Tower of London Guided Tour', which is in the title and in the small print, is false advertising. We were escorted to the opening ceremony, which was incredible, and then given 50 minutes to look round the tower. Anyone who knows the tower will know this is not enough time, and there was no guide to take us around. Since, for us, the Tower visit was the primary aspect of the tour, this was incredibly disappointing and not explained in the small print. Finally, I wrote to Headout 7 days ago detaling my complaint, and have not heard anything back. I would caution anyone against booking with them in the future.
Great communication on meeting spot, great guide who was super fun and engaging. Loved the self tour at the Tower! Really fun tour!
What I loved the most was all of the valuable information that the guide gave us. From the sites, locations and restaurants. I'll definitely be returning and recommend this service to my friends and family.
Knowledgeable and small group
We would of liked more time in the Tower of London
Our guide was GREAT and very knowledgeable. The tour, however, was a "quick walking tour" which was not what was advertised. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.
This was the most fabulous 4-hour tour. Our guide was Natalie. She was attentive to every single person on the tour and made sure we always got the best viewing spots. Our ticket included a Thames ride in addition to the Crown Jewels, Tower of London and changing of the guard at Buckinghma Palace. I truly feel your visit of London would not be complete without it.
Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. The allotted time at the Tower of London would have been awesome if it was even 30 minutes longer. However as part of the tour included a boat ride down the Thames there was a schedule that had to be adhered to.
Natalie was amazing! She gave us facts instead of pointing to something and giving us the name as we walked by. It was fascinating!
The guide was great was able to get us into great spots for photos quickly. Well planned. Well executed! The directions to meet up are a bit dodgy. The guides carry little flags on sticks but the booking makes it sound as if there is sign creating confusion till you figure it out.
The tower of london has always been on my bucket list and the tour guide Sophie was absolutely amazing. She was funny and knowledgeable and really gave a great tour.
They were calling when I was on a ship not able to take a phone call but ended up getting the info via voice maile time was earlier. I'm good. Once in London I get a phone call. I said I got the message time change and the Rep was no I had to be a different day . As soon as I said I can't do that all of a sudden she say she can't hear me trouble on the line . Maybe but I could hear her. She said call back the number I just called on. I did ended up being a phone tree and I pressed the option to call me back which didn't happened. I'm assuming it's cancelled. The following day another Rep calls to tell me about the time change which doesn't work now since I assumed you all cancelled on me. She said she would refund my money which better happen. This was not on me and please do the right thing.
We had a great time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the experience. I do wish we could have had more time at the tower.
Our tour guide Jeremy was the best part of the experience. He was friendly, informative and funny. The reason I didn't rate it awesome is because we didn't actually get a guided tour of the Tower of London or early access as was advertised
Natalie was a great tourguide!
Everything was perfect. Could not have been better very excited to have done this visit.
Jeremy led a really fun and informative tour of the City. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral. She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.
St Paul's is wonderfool piece of rebeliation of the architect and I enjoyed the visit. Especially dome. The stairs are quite difficult (narrow and high number of it). We had a bit problem with the electronic ticket but we were not the first and not the last I suppose (we had to let them print so do it before visit). There was not a lot of people so we had time and good oporutnity to explore everything.
Once allowed in enjoyed the experience. I printed QR codes only but was not sufficient to enter. They wanted booking reference no. So why not say print booking reference no. ???
The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful! I didn't give a 5 star rating only because entering the Cathedral took a long time at the desk. We purchased tickets in advance and I had them available on my phone. However, the gentleman at the desk had to look at my phone, take pictures of three different sections of my phone tickets, and then finally admit us. Four families that arrived with NO tickets, purchased and entered before we did. I wouldn't repurchase tickets again. Slower process. It took 15 minutes and we were already on a time crunch.
On arrival I had to email them the tickets you had sent as they would not accept them as tickets. I had no signal was directed to desk to queue I then had a signal and was able to email them. I don't know if I could have gained entry if I had been unable to email. Seemed clunky system. My issue is with St Paul's staff not overly helpful
I was advised to print ticket. This proved difficult so I didn't as a qr code is normally accepted at venues. This particular qr code was not acceptable at the venue (why not) so I had to screen shot, email this to St Pauls. All the while with the queue building up behind me. Very patient staff at St Paul's. They couldn't do enough to sort this.
Building is beautiful and worth going into ... didnt realise galleries to so and i couldnt go up because of potential vertigo .. but only realised when i got there
The ticket on the website didn't work and I had to send an email to get into St. Paul's Cathedral.

This solid-gold coronation crown was made in 1661 for the coronation of Charles II to replace the medieval crown (said to have belonged to King Edward the Confessor) that had been melted down. It weighs 2.23 kg and is adorned with 444 semi-precious stones. It is used only for the actual crowning moment (then replaced by a lighter state crown) and was last used for crowning Charles III in 2023.
Created for King George VI's coronation in 1937, this is the crown that the monarch wears on State occasions like the annual Opening of Parliament. It was made to replace the crown made for Queen Victoria in 1838 and is set with over 3,000 stones, including the Black Prince's Ruby, the Stuart Sapphire, and the Cullinan II diamond.
During the coronation the monarch is presented with the Orb and the Sceptre with Cross, which represent their powers and responsibilities. While it dates back to 1661, the sceptre was modified in 1910 for George V with the addition of the Cullinan I diamond. It's the largest colourless cut diamond in the world, at 530.2 carats.
The Orb is also presented to the monarch at the coronation and symbolizes Christian dominion. This solid gold globe was also made in 1661 and is topped with a cross. It's set with over 650 diamonds and four large pearls once owned by Elizabeth I.
Queen Mary’s Crown is a consort crown within the Crown Jewels. Made for the coronation of Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, this Art Deco-inspired crown features eight half-arches instead of the typical four or two. The silver-gilt frame is set with approximately 2,200 diamonds, including Cullinan III, Cullinan IV, and the Koh-i-Noor diamond, though all were later removed.
The Coronation Spoon is the oldest artifact in the collection, dating back to the 12th century. It is used to anoint the new monarch with holy oil during the coronation ceremony, cementing the spiritual legitimacy of their rule. Unlike much of the royal regalia that was destroyed by Parliament, the Coronation Spoon survived because it was privately held.
The Sovereign's Ring was specifically crafted for the coronation of King William IV in 1831. It features a prominent octagonal sapphire as its centerpiece and the Cross of Saint George in rubies, and 14 surrounding diamonds. During coronations, the Archbishop places it on the fourth finger of the sovereign's right hand during the investiture.
