Excellent tour guide, it made the experience very enjoyable and interesting. Nice to have a small group rather than the large Beefeater ones.

Loved our tour guide but she left after about 11/2 hours. I wished she could have stayed with us the whole time. She had so much information!

It was a great tour because of our tour guide! Yes the Tower was amazing, but his story telling is wonderful! He made learning about everything all the more fun!

Wonderful! My 9yo was completely engaged. I wish I had given him a bit of history ahead of time so he could’ve caught it all, but he had a great time all the same. He loved seeing the weapons and hearing about the ravens and the whole royal menagerie.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Tower of London. The guide was friendly, clear, and very knowledgeable, making the history easy to follow and interesting without feeling rushed. We learned a lot about the Crown Jewels, the ravens, and the Tower’s past as a palace and prison. The tour was well organized, and it made the whole experience more meaningful than just walking around on our own. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting London.
