About this tour

At the Tower of London, explore the fortress’s dramatic past and view the priceless Crown Jewels with an expert live guide. A Thames cruise ticket is included for a scenic journey from the Tower to Westminster Pier.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.85 from 179 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 3.7.
