15 Tickets & Entry Passes in England to Build a Day Around

1.Tower of London and Crown Jewels Exhibition Ticket

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

Enter the Tower of London, join a Yeoman Warder tour, and see the Crown Jewels, White Tower, Bloody Tower, Traitors’ Gate, ravens, and Medieval Palace. Plan on 3 to 5 hours, with tours starting roughly every 30 minutes. The walk includes stairs and Crown Jewels queues may apply.

“First, the link to get the ticket was broken. I had to call customer support and get a ticket sent as PDF. Then, there is no tour it is just an entry ticket. While the booking states that it includes a Yeoman Warders tour, there was no tour to be found. The only thing the Yeoman Warders were doing was taking selfies with people. Would not recommend at all.”

I’m not sure if it was the time of the year that we went, day of the week or something else but there trally weren’t lines when we arrived so I’m not sure the fast pass ticket was worth the value.
