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
Will BelfordSeptember 18, 2013Mysteriously entertaining! A trip back in time, with unique details! Beautiful! I really enjoyed it!
Roberto SeveroSeptember 24, 2013Visit the jewels of the crown. And wait for a guided tour by a beefeater starting at the tower's moat
Royal ArmouriesNovember 5, 2010The White Tower is the original home of the Royal Armouries, part of this collection moved to Leeds in 1996 but the White Tower still holds some of the collections to this date.- Maurício CairesJune 21, 2012Spend a time visiting the Tower of London. The place is surrounded by cafés, souvenir stores and, of course, tourists.

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.

UlkemApril 9, 2018Despite expensive ticket price it is a good idea to take a look inside of this medieval fortress
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- Georgina JenkinsAugust 17, 2015Lovely views and very interesting. I must have gone here over 40 times.
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?
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.
