Get into the Tower of London and Crown Jewels, plus a Yeoman Warder tour. See ravens, prisoners, and the Koh-i-Noor.

“Would highly recommend booking this via Viator. It was cheaper than booking direct with the Tower of London. Our admission time was 10am and we did the 10.45 Yeomans tour which was a fabulous 45mins walk around and history overview. The tower offer an audio guide for an extra cost but we didn’t feel like we needed it. We allowed 2-3 hours for this which was about right with our 8 year old.”
