Our tour was awesome. Our tour guide was so wonderful extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. It was a great experience 

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!

The ticketing experience was easy and convenient. We enjoyed both our guide and the Beefeater . Thank you so much!

The experience was fantastic. Getting the early access and seeing the gate opening and Crown Jewels without the crowds was unbelievable.

Ticketbuchung und Einlass waren super zuverlässig. Für den Tower sollte man ausreichend Zeit einplanen; an sich ist dies ein Tagesprogramm. Die Juwelen sind wunderschön und trotz Menschenmassen in Ruhe anzusehen. Für die Menschenmassen kann wohl kaum jemand was, wir waren schließlich auch dabei. Ansonsten ist der Tower eine tolle und wirklich sehenswerte Anlage mit vielen kleinen Ausstellungen und Attraktionen. Insgesamt beeindruckt London. Man schafft mit Ruhe, Verstand, Sinn für Kultur und Kunst nicht alle Highlights und sollte lieber ausgewählt den Eintritt bezahlen. Lieber kommen wir wieder und sind gerne wieder Kunde bei Euch. Vielen lieben Dank und Grüße an die lustigen Raben. 

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 bequem bereits von zu Hause buchen. Würde ich jedem empfehlen. Sonst können die Warteschlangen ganz schön lang sein oder man kommt erst gar nicht rein.  Hat alles prima funktioniert und der Tower ist wirklich sehr interessant und sehenswert. 

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.

Azquistare i biglietti è stato molto facile, idem accedere alla Torre di Londra semplicemente mostrando i QR codes sullo smartphone. Abbiamo potuto entrare senza alcun problema ben un'ora e mezza prima, forse perchè non era troppo affollato, ed abbiamo visitato il sito per circa 8 ore, avvalendoci di un'audioguida in italiano per sole  5 sterline ciascuno. 

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.

Had a great visit to the Tower yesterday. Nev the Yeoman warder was excellent. Very entertaining and the Crown Jewels never disappoint.

Luogo emozionante, bello il cambio della guardia. Bello il caveau con accesso ai gioielli della Corona. Posto ben tenuto e curato.

Exciting place, beautiful the changing of the guard. Beautiful vault with access to the Crown Jewels. Well kept and maintained place.
