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.

Die Ausstellung ist sehr schön gestaltet und äußerst informativ. Für Kinder gibt es einen Pass, auf dem sie Stempel sammeln können. Hier führt eine kleine Katze durch die Ausstellung, die zwar überall präsent, aber überhaupt nicht störend ist. Die Bilder und Informationen der Ausstellung sind wunderbar aufbereitet und man hat ein richtig tolles Gefühl mitten dabei zu sein Beim Bau der Brücke. Oben im Quer Gang gibt es den Glasboden, ich habe mich zuerst nicht drauf getraut, Außerdem hat man eine tolle Aussicht von dort oben. Ich kann sagen, die Tour war wesentlich besser, als ich es erwartet hatte.

The exhibition is beautifully designed and extremely informative. There is a passport for children on which they can collect stamps. A small cat guides you through the exhibition, which is present everywhere but not at all distracting. The pictures and information in the exhibition are wonderfully presented and you have a really great feeling of being right in the middle of the construction of the bridge. There is a glass floor at the top of the transverse corridor, I didn't dare to go up there at first, but you also have a great view from up there. I can say that the tour was much better than I had expected.

Really easy to book through Headout, and good information given prior to our visit.
Great factual information about the construction of the bridge which is made more real with accounts and videos from people  and their families who have worked on the bridge.
Awesome to walk across on the glass walkway. 
Helpful and friendly staff who were more than happy to answer questions.
The engine rooms are also well worth visiting to find out about the different jobs that were done and the machinery originally used to raise the bridge.
Definitely recommend this and the low cost helped to put this as one of our favourite London experiences.

Super Preis/Leistung. Toller Tower Bridge Cat trail für Kinder, dann ist auch das Stufen steigen kein Problem. Viel Wissen und Geschichte, aber toll aufbereitet. Hat Spaß gemacht, auch der Ausblick von der Brücke war toll. 

Great value for money. Great Tower Bridge Cat trail for children, then even climbing the steps is no problem. Lots of knowledge and history, but well presented. It was fun, and the view from the bridge was great too.

Ich hatte tatsächlich nicht viel erwartet, höchstens eine schöne Aussicht. Aber die Informationen, die ich dort zum Teil erhalten habe, waren sehr interessant. Das kleine Quiz für die Kinder war auch sehr gut und interessant. Auch der Glasboden war besser als erwartet. Im Großen und Ganzen kann ich diesen Ausflug sehr empfehlen!

I wasn't really expecting much, at most a nice view. But some of the information I received there was very interesting. The little quiz for the children was also very good and interesting. The glass floor was also better than expected. All in all, I can highly recommend this excursion!

The champagne and ice cream and also the 360 view of London was amazing 

My boyfriend was trying his hardest to find all the football stadiums at the top. He reckons he found at least 2 😂

Great for tourists and also first time comers into the area 

The ability to get a glass of wine and walk around seeing the beautiful views was a plus! The bartender Jack was so helpful and told us other places to visit during our stay. 

The amazing view of all London and the unforgettable cocktail made with rhubarb and raspberry, it was a wow!
I spent a very nice time with my family
