Don't rush this tour

I made a fatal mistake when booking this tour, I booked a 3.30pm slot and regrettably, we were unable to visit all of the attraction that we wanted to see (unless we rushed it). Time queuing to see the crown jewels ate up a lot of the time we were there but obviously that is one of the main reasons we visited. There is so much to do and see while you are there and the tours (whether paid or free) are so so worth it. I cannot comment on the prices of the food/drinks etc as we did not use those facilities but as for the atmosphere, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness of the toilets and the tower itself, it's a must visit place steeped in history and I'm sure we will go back the next time we visit London.... I'll just book it for an earlier time.
Fab day out

What a wonderful day! On arriving at the Tower of London we headed straight for the queue to see the Crown Jewels. After a 20 minute wait we were inside and the display of crowns and regalia used was wonderful. There were no hold ups going through as it was very well organised with the same information on both sides of display cases. The various parts of the Tower displayed details of what went on in that particular area or tower. Beefeaters were around giving talks and the whole experience was superb. The monument on the site of executions was so well thought out, inviting visitors to reflect on what had happened here so long ago. Anyone going needs to allow enough time to see everything. We were there for 3.5 hours and didn't get to the chapel or 2 of the towers and will most definitely return.

Excellent discount website

This is the second time I’ve used Discount London for tickets and it doesn’t disappoint. The savings (especially in this economic situation) is certainly welcoming. The Tower of London is fascinating just make sure you have your walking shoes on for all the small stairs to the various towers. Well worth a trip for all ages.
Perfect

Perfect day out.
Glad we got there early and did the crown jewels first as the que was huge by mid morning.
Places to eat, sit and enjoy the lovely surroundings.
Make sure u have completed you vivisection before exiting onto the river bank as there is a long walk round to gain re-entry
Fun History Lesson

My son and I enjoyed the day at the tower. When his young interest started to dwindle, we came across hands on activities that incorporated what he had learned with his imagination. Brilliantly placed. Thank you

A wonderful day out and great location. Timings were great as we got there early to beat the queues. Staff and Yeomen were very professional. Need at least 4-5 hours, very informative and entertaining.
