Our tour guide Aaron, was great. The content of the tour, not so much. Maybe I’m just not into history, but all the talk of kings and queens was too much for me. Loved the early access to the tower and the Crown Jewels

Jodi_M

It was great being able to get into the Tower before everyone else and learn and see the opening ceremony up close. It was also nice to be one of the first groups to get in to see the Crown Jewels. So impressive!

MikeandLaura_S

Great tour guide with loads of knowledge and good humor. Getting in early to see the opening and early access to the Crown Jewels were definitely worth it on a crowded bank holiday weekend.

Adam_W

Great tour. Don’t use the address for the meetup. Just put the Tower of London gift shop in your map app and go there. This tour works great because you get in early to see the opening ceremony (there was only one other group in with us). Then you move to the Crown Jewels - once open all tourists start entering and it can fill up fast - the tour guide here gets you a head start. Very informative for over 3 hours by the guide. You get a boat ticket as well. Check the City Cruises website for how you can use it. Tour is well worth the money.

Scott_S

Fantastic booking. Would recommend to anyone wanting to tour the Tower of London. Our tour guide was fantastic. The Tower Tour was very detailed and the river boat back to Westminster was a very good way to see the city.

David_W

James was amazing. He showed us so many incredible things and had so many intriguing stories to share.

We enjoyed the opening ceremony and early access to the Jewels. The Beefeater was very entertaining and informative, we loved the pomp and circumstance of the opening ceremony. Our guide was very informative and answered all our questions. Be aware while the tour itself is about 4 hours, you can easily spend an entire day at the Tower of London. This is a must do tour when visiting London.

Chuck_H

We were looking for early admission to the Tower of London. We got that and a whole lot more. Guy guided us through the experience with memorable stories. We also enjoyed the bonus boat ride to Greenwich.

David_M

My tour guide Nigel was awesome. Very personable and knowledgeable. 10/10 would do it again. His sense of humor was spot on and the early Tower tour had the group out in front of the crowds.

Dana_H

We loved the the beefeaters but the crown jewels were ok. The tour guide was fantastic but the whole story wasn’t told.
