    Getting there by 8:30 am was hard, but totally worth it. Our group of about 20 were the only people in the Crown Jewels when we went through and it was delightful. 28 degree temps were a little harsh for the outside bits of the tour, but probably contributed to the scarcity of other tourists (maybe the train strike helped, too. The city and the grounds were beautiful in the early morning light. Tour guide was terrific.

    Worth every penny to get in and see all of the highlights without the crowds! Gina was the most wonderful guide and so knowledgeable

  3. Matthew_G

    Wellllllll considering the place was closed not a great tour. Why would I be able to book for a day where the tower is closed. Never using viator again

    We loved this tour! We were first group to see Crown Jewels … fabulous. Our guide Dominic was amazing. Provided previews of each part of the Tower we visited and very interesting background about the place, people and events. It was a fabulous morning.

    We booked this early morning tour primarily to beat the crowds, but I quickly discovered that the best part was seeing the opening ceremony at the Tower of London. I had no idea how much pomp was involved! It was exciting to see the “gatekeeper” with his keys, flanked by heavily armed guards who opened the gates to the facility that housed the Crown Jewels. We had the first access to the display of the Crown Jewels, and I was shocked to see how many crowns are included in the collection, how many jewels are on each crown, and how huge each crown is! The tour following the viewing the jewels was impressive, too. We enjoyed every aspect of this tour, and highly recommend it!

    Talk with yeoman warden. Disappointed that some of crown jewels were missing because of coronation. Enjoyed our tour guide but for what we got I felt it was a bit overpriced. Can’t find times for river cruise

    Amazing Tour and the Guide was Awesome!! 100% Recommended. Time was perfect and very organized. Thank you Viator!!

  9. Alice_L

    Great experience and it was amazing to be the first group into see the jewels. You really do beat the crowds! Do be prepared for lots of steps. There are over 200 in the white tower alone.

    Getting in early was good. But our guide didn’t show (guess he was sick). That happens and is no one’s fault, but the substitute got there late and was not able to be a guide. She seemed more confused than we were. After a great deal of confusion another tour company accepted us into their group, which was now far too big. So, once inside, we simply ignored the group and went off on our own.

  11. Kathy_W

    Highly recommend. If you are doing the Tower of London this is the best way to do it. Skip the lines and enjoy before the crowds start.

  12. WILLIAM_B

    Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He took us to a number of places we never would have found on our own. We saw crown jewels early before the huge crowds arrived.

  13. Jeremy_N

    Our tour guide, Sarah, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We spent the whole morning in the fortress learning a ton more than we would have independently. Then we got a river cruise as a bonus!

  14. Jacqueline_P

    Had a great experience with Viator. The changing of the guard at the tower of london was very enjoyable. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything. Would use Viator again.

  15. VICTORIA_R

    Tour guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about the history of the tower. Tower was much more the. I expected.

    If you dont do this particular tour while in London, you are missing out on something really special. The early access really does work. We saw the Key Ceremony and were able to see the Crown Jewels before the long line started to flock through the gates. It was freezing the day we went in late May. Layers are needed I think as the weather can change during the day. Small walking tours have always ended up being the most enjoyable for us, we are in our late 50s (😏) but are quite capable walkers. There are stairs on this one. Our guide spoke to us through head phones, so we didn’t miss a thing or get lost. Don’t be late for your tour, familiarise yourself with your pick up spot early. Our guide Sarah, was amazing. Thank you! 🇬🇧💂

    the opening with the beefeaters and military guard as well as all of the details of the historical happenings at the tower over 1000 years.
    Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable

  18. swansonkenneth

    Great guide very knowledgeable about history. Had free time to explore as well. Well organized once there.

  19. GreggR_M

    We had an amazing time seeing the early history of London. The Crown Jewels are amazing and this tour lets you be the first into the tower and the Jewels. I think the Tower is a must see for London, especially if you have teens or older children. Great guide and tour. You can stay after the tour if you desire and have the time.

    We were greeted with enthusiasm and kindness! Our guide Salvatore was funny and you can tell he loves history and makes it fun for all with quips here and there. The early access is KEY!! It’s the only way to see the opening of the gates. And that is also the opening to the public! the queue for the Crown Jewels room got so long after us. Best way to save time. It’s also very flexible that if you need to leave the tour and wander on your own. The tour ends IN the tower so it was nice to have our own time to explore.
