    Travelled with family


    Das Angebot hatte wenig mit dem Tower of London zu tun. Anstehen mussten wir wie alle anderen auch. Eine Führug im Tower gab es nicht. 1h hatten wir um uns zwei Objekte selbst anzuschauen. Keine Zeit um sich das Gebäude in Gänze anzuschauen. Die Bootstour waren drei Stationen. Die Wachablösung haben wir nicht gesehen. Die Tour endete nach 3 Stunden.

    Rob our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We love that the tour incorporated a little of everything, but most especially the unique opening ceremony at the tower. Wish we had a little more time to explore the tower, but I’d still recommend this experience.

    Got to see the Crown Jewels before the massive lines formed BUT there was a one hour delay getting on the Uber boat for the Thames cruise portion which resulted in us missing the Changing of the Guard. Bank Holiday weekend and the Uber boat service was a cluster.
