Disappointing that the Thames walkway is closed both ends and not due to open until next week or whatever. Didn’t want to pay to walk along the Thames as I’ve not done in the past! Is this just ruse …Full review by Misuel

Q:
Hi, I had a question about your visit to the Tower of London. You mentioned going on a beefeater tour. Did you Pay for that in addition to your ticket price or is it just something you get in line for once you are inside?
A:
Hello, the beefeater tour is free and included with the ticket. I think there is a more thorough tour where you do pay extra. There’s a small queue as you enter the gate.

Q:
Can my grandson use his blue Peter badge accompanied by us
A:
When we were there last the children in front of us in the queue had come in on blue Peter badges. I think they had to be with a paying adult as the only stipulation.
