Will BelfordSeptember 18, 2013Mysteriously entertaining! A trip back in time, with unique details! Beautiful! I really enjoyed it!
Johannes DriessenNovember 17, 2014You can see so much of this place just by wandering around it. Quite pricey if you actually want the full tour
Roberto SeveroSeptember 24, 2013Visit the jewels of the crown. And wait for a guided tour by a beefeater starting at the tower's moat
National Maritime MuseumJuly 11, 2011Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned here twice. After both releases he set off on unsuccessful missions to find the fabled ‘El Dorado’.

Nilson RogérioMarch 6, 2015Having even worked there as a contractor, you start unavoidably breathing history from the moment you step through its gates.
Paul CunninghamAugust 10, 2014I'd suggest going out of order and visiting the crown jewels early before the queue gets quite long.. But it does move fast.
Georgina JenkinsAugust 17, 2015The audioguide is very useful and interesting so I would really recommend getting one.
Best visit ever and I live here. Highly recommend annual membership

Delvair TuratiJuly 25, 2012Totally worth going...its huge, lots of things to see...save like 2 or 3 h just for it...it depends on what you wanna do
Anthony ScottJuly 19, 2011Some of the more unfortunate residents arrived via the Water Gate. Wonder if the Nixon-burglarized apartment complex in DC is named after this one, a mark of shared infamy?- Georgina JenkinsAugust 17, 2015Lovely views and very interesting. I must have gone here over 40 times.
Jake PearceOctober 3, 2011Take your time here. Think of what has happened here.Treat it less as a tourist attraction and more of a chance to use your imagination - Harry Spotter style.See and smell the history here.

Allie GillilandMay 14, 2013Even though there is a long line, it is worth waiting to see the crown jewels!
Eddie W.March 12, 2011When visiting the Tower of London you must try the burger and make sure to ask for the secret sauce! You will not be disappointed.
