The Tower of London was not crowded the day we visited, so the "skip the line" was really not advantageous. I can see where it would be helpful on the busier days. This is a very neat tour.

It was raining the day we went on this tour so it made it rather uncomfortable. The bus driver and tour guide did their very best to get us close to the sites to prevent long wet walks. Cheers to them both. Got to see the main attractions so overall happy with this tour. Line up to get into the Tower of London was huge and took people two hours of standing in the rain to get in so it was a bonus to have skip the line passes. Our Beef Eater was only with us for a few minutes due to the rain so that was a bit of a let down. We also had people from outside our group barging in to listen to what he was saying. Maybe headsets would alleviate this issue for the paying customer.

The Tower of London is absolutely wonderful and a necessary day in London. We were there for 3 hours easily, and the Beefeater tour is a must! In the summertime when tourism is at a peak, I would highly recommend advance tickets and skipping the line; it would not be any fun to wait in long lines for the Tower. On the particular day we went, there was not a line, so we really didn't need to purchase in advance. But I'm glad we did. It helped us to map out our trip and commit to certain things on certain days.

Wonderful and extremely interesting tour. We saw all the London "tourist" spots from the Tower of London to St. Peters Cathedral. Our tour guide, Sev, knew so many interesting facts and was truly concerned about each of us. The day ended with a ride on the London Eye. Terrific tour with an awesome guide.

I saw a lot less than I expected. There were no tours inside the monuments. We only saw the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral passing on the bus. There was no traditional pub lunch, in fact there was no lunch at all. It took a lot less than 8 hours, but I paid a lot just to ride on the bus.

The Tower of London is an interesting place to visit. I recommend spending extra money at the site for the self- guided audio tour. At a normal pace, this site takes about three hours to go through.

Tower of London is great- you can visit everything in a few hours (3-4). If you have a chance, visit during the winter months and go to the twilight tour - great option! During the day in the afternoon you can see them do the "Word" - which is the delivering of the password to get in at night. They have lots of costumed people as well as the beefeaters to answer questions and give tours. I suggest making this part of your London adventure!

Although we enjoyed the Tower of London, this tour was unnecessary, as we had to wait in the "Skip the Line" line, which was longer than the "regular" line, to get in. I would not bother doing this again.

Doing what: Thames River Cruise, Tower of London and City of London Tour
Nice tour of Tower of London. River cruise was kind of a waste as it didn't go very far on the river. NOTE! When they say "City of London" they are talking about the older eastern part of London. It does not cover any of the major sights like Buckingham Palace or Big Ben. That, we were told, was a separate tour that was in the morning.

tower of london is a place not to be missed! but skip the line is not enough. you neeed to do the early morning tour before it is opened to general public.

Our family picked up the tour at the Marble Arch location. The Viator person was extremely helpful and gave us so many great tips to maximize our one day in London. We also bought tickets for the London Eye and Tower of London at that location, which was a real time saver. I wish I had the Viator's man's name - he was so friendly and helpful. We would definately use Viator again. We had a wonderful time!

This was exactly what it said - a ticket into the Tower of London that let you skip straight to the entrance. No waiting in the giant line to buy tickets. After that, it's your choice to take the Yeoman Warder tour or explore the Tower on your own.
I loved being able to walk right past the long ticket line into a must-see place.

Coach tour of London landmarks followed by a guided tour of St Paul's Cathedral. Didn't have time to walk up the steps to the whispering wall, but would love to do next time. Tower of London was great and saw the crown jewels. The jewels are mostly crowns and swords and very beautiful. River cruise was good except it rained and forced everyone downstairs and inside. Overall, quite enjoyed it all.

Pick up was 10 minutes late then we had to wait in our mini bus for a changeover to a coach to take us to Victoria because a driver wanted the mini bus for private use at the weekend. We also had to wait at Victoria for people that didn't turn up. This made our tour late and didn't have very long in the Tower of London. Damien the tour guide was very informative and interesting the tour was good. Tower of London very interesting, plenty of time to see the different sites. We had the optional Afternoon Tea at Harrods which was very enjoyable you have to sit on a large table with the rest of your party we were expecting a table for two. Good value for money.
