I absolutely loved our tour in the tower of London. It was surreal to stand in a place almost 1000 years in existence and to imagine what life there would have been like so long ago. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. It was nice to be able to explore the at my own pace with an audio headset to tell me about the history of each building. My favorite part was seeing the Crown jewels and the White Castle. Getting there early was key to a great experience as it got very crowded by noon.
