In a sea of tour options - this one is well worth it!
This tour was a highlight during our recent trip tp London. Well worth the time and the money - highly recommend. A special shout our to our fantastic tour guide, Don. His knowledge, humor and overall vibe, made the tour for us.
Response from the operator: Don's combination of deep knowledge, sharp humor, and genuine warmth is exactly what transforms a Tower of London visit into a real highlight. The Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels tour is built around guides who can bring both the history and the human stories to life—and it sounds like Don delivered that in spades.

A day well spent.
Visited the museum on 12/08/2025 first time since the renovations. Much impressed with the new layout of the existing hangers. Has a smoother flow which helps in seeing all the attractions. There are small displays which young children can sit in which is great. There is so much content you can spend hours enjoying the museum. The onsite restaurant provides great food for everyone. There are seats located in all the hangers which allows you to rest as needed with wash rooms in all the hangers. This was a great day spent, entry is free.

Enjoyed!
A Saturday well spent! Great location, lots to see, very geared up towards children, lots of lovely little planes for them to sit in. Would recommend to families. We will return with other family members. Gift shop very well stocked some nice little treats in there. All staff were really friendly.

Excellent Museum and RAF History
This is definitely a must-do for any aircraft nerd. It was such a good time. For those looking for a Smithsonian or USAF Museum experience, you might be disappointed -- this is a true non-profit effort and not governmetn supported like these other two museums. That said, the aircraft were amazing, real, touchable and fun. I'd never seen a Lancaster, a Vulcan, or a BAC Lightning -- got to see all these and take pictures. In addition, they have a wonderful opportunity to pay and sit in a Spitfire -- that was my highlight. Ashley was my guide and his knowledge, patience and professionalism reflected the tone of the entire museum. The variety of aircraft was very exciting. A Short Sunderland shades the lunch room and a Lancaster anchors the WW2 exhibit. My only critique is the somewhat haphazard way some of these aircraft are displayed next to each other. They have four of the aircraft that fought in the Battle of Britain displayed directly next to the Queen's Wessex -- I'm not sure I understand the decisions to put some of these aircraft together. Bit that is very choosy. The staff was terrific, very helpful and very informative. I sent my pictures home and now my Spouse wants to go so she can sit in the Spitfire!

OMG terrific. I can’t imagine anyone not liking it
OMG FANTASTIC The collection is superb. The layout is brilliant. I’m not even a military or airplane buff but I’d Recommend this museum ( in fact I’m planning to Recommend this museum) to everyone. My wife and I found it to be excellent and our grandkids enjoyed everything about it. We done, kudos to the museum.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels cost?
+
Prices start at $64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reserved Entry Tower of London Express Experience Crown Jewels start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
