This was my favorite tour in London, I loved the historical history of the castle, it was a short walk from my hotel. I did the self guided tour so I could take my time. I was there for over 4 hours and I think I could have spent another 4 hours. I am certainly glad I left a day open to visit.

Me and my friend went there, it was a great afternoon. We brought tickets online. When we got there, there were no queues at all, so we walked straight in! The staff were fantastic apart from the security. Walking around the different rooms where Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII stood - was just an amazing experience! And we saw the Crown Jewels! Wish I brought the audio guides now. Definitely go there for a visit!

A diverse city, the neighborhoods, the people. Numerous monuments, museums, parks. Madame Tussaud's museum is impressive to see, the planetarium: astonishing, the crown jewels, you have to know how to appreciate them, the changing of the guard, just like in Monaco, is worth seeing at least once.

We visited on a Friday at Midday and we stayed for 3.5 hours to take it all in, we didnt use the audio and we didnt need to as there is enough information throughout the tower. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend to everyone. All the Yeomen were very friendly and on hand if you had any question.

My wife and I saw the Tower on a rainy day in February. It was her first trip to England. I had been there once before, on a hot sunny day in August a few years ago. Seeing this medieval castle in the middle of London is like taking a trip in a time machine. The tower is surrounded by a defensive wall. Inside the wall are multiple buildings including a chapel, zoo ( without the animals), the famous White Tower, and several others. Visitors are allowed access to the top of the defensive wall which connects to several of the buildings. The crown jewels are on display in one of the buildings. One of the best parts of seeing the Tower of London is the tour conducted by one of the local Yeoman of the castle. Of note, the tour we were given was held indoors and was very abbreviated compared to the outdoor walking tour I was given a few years ago, no doubt because of the bad weather. In addition, views of the Tower bridge and Thames river were OK during our February visit, however were spectacular during my summer visit. If you have the option, I would strongly recommend going to the Tower of London on a clear day rather than a rainy or foggy one.

We did the Family guided tour and had a wonderful time. The children narrating the tour were very entertaining. The family there did not include certain portions, but we were able to see those on our own anyway. Would recommend the Family Audio guides for any families with young children.

Unbelievable tour guide! Cannot remember his name but I think it was Hyde? He has two daughters that live on the grounds. He had our group laughing the whole hour and was so knowledgeable. We did the 10:00 am tour on March 1st. Took another 1.5 hours to walk the grounds after our guided tour. Great experience!

It was good to learn about the significance of this monument in the British history while touring this place. It's quite a large place and can take time to cover the entire thing. Do wear comfortable shoes for the same.

We recently visited the Tower of London and enjoyed our morning. Lots to see and a large place to visit. Tickets are pricey but you could easily spend 2-3 hours or more if you took your time and visited every part of the Tower complex. Loved the ravens who all have their own names and own personalities!

Because it's the area is quite expansive, it's one of those attractions where there's something for everyone that's into medieval history. There's the jewels, weapons, wildlife (ravens), paintings, armor, beefeaters marching, etc. Personally, though it's highly rated, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a must-do since it can eat up a lot of your day if you are short on time and with the exception of the jewels (and possibly the story of the Two Princes in the tower) I didn't really get blown away by anything that I wouldn't find in a museum some place else.
