Fantastic 5.0
Great experience with many things to see. Recommend to join the Yeoman Warder Tour. I also enjoyed the Crown Jewels Exhibition. One of the best paid tourist attractions in London if you're into history.

It's okay. There was a queue but it moves fast. A nice way to spend the afternoon in an air-conditioned environment especially during hot summers in London.

The sightseeing plus lunch was deffo recommended didnt have high expectation for this excursion hut i was amazed mostly bcos i think they let me sit with the best view till i complained that they put me on a seat near where you can feel the engine. But the service, staff, views , commentary guide was 10/10 . Theres starter, main course and dessert everything taste so good

You can choose between the elevator or the stairs to go up. However, since the elevator can get crowded and there are exhibits along the way if you take the stairs, we recommend the stairs if you are up for it physically. Also, after coming back down, there is an engine room exhibit next to the gift shop, which you can enter by showing your ticket. At the top, there is a section with a transparent floor where you can see straight down; it is a little scary, but a lot of fun!

I purchased a 4-day pass. You need to install the Go City app and link your pass to it. After that, you can simply scan the QR code directly at the entrance of each attraction to enter, which is very convenient. You can even make attraction reservations directly through the Go City app, making the whole experience hassle-free. Basically, visiting two to three attractions per day already makes the pass worth the price.

it was a great experience. but maybe should go for the later session at 9.30pm for more stunning views. 7.30pm is still very bright in London. but overall ok.
