1.Tower of London and Crown Jewels Exhibition Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,677 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $49Our pick

Beefeater-led Tower of London and Crown Jewels access with a 1-hour Yeoman Warder tour, ravens, palace rooms, and regalia close-ups.

“This tour says it starts at 3pm. The tour actually starts at 230pm. We showed up at 250 and learned this. Missed half the tour bc of the wrong time listed on Viator - even the tower reception people said they dont know why it says 3pm. Other than that, it was fine. Beefeater had interesting stories; it would have been nice if we'd heard the entire tour we paid for.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 1,916 reviews · 1 to 10 days (approx.) · from $135

London Pass covers 100+ top sights with one handy ticket, including Tower Bridge, Thames river travel, and major museums, with reservations.

“London Pass was easy to use, but one unfortunate part was Big Bus who I chose to use as my hop-on hop-off bus. They were apparently having a bad day with computers crashing and so services were significantly delayed as they swapped buses throughout the day. This meant I was unable to see as many attractions as I had planned and ultimately needed a $20 can ride to reach my final destination on time.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 176 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $157

Tour St Paul’s and the Tower to see the Crown Jewels, then ride a one-way Thames cruise to Westminster with live guide commentary.

“Tour Company called to tell us St. Paul's was closing early, which meant no city sightseeing tour for us. They offered to reschedule or refund our money, but that wasn't an option for us as places sell out and we had other things planned for our final two days in London. So we met the group at St. Pauls and were dropped off at the Tower of London. While I don't fault anyone for St. Paul's closing early and our departure date causing conflict, I don't feel like we got our money's worth at all, and we had to be flexible to meet at an alternate location and give up…”
