The guide knew the area very well and answered our questions well, was friendly, and spoke French well.
Wonderful, informative tour. John was very knowledgeable and a great guide. He even gave us tips for other things around London, including the best fish and chips. Would definitely recommend this tour if you really want to learn about the tour and it's history. Be sure to get an early tour and beat the crowds.
Great tour. Highly recommend. Well organized and stayed on schedule. Tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting.
It was hot so review might be a little biased. Gentleman was chatty and hard to hear sometimes. Otherwise ok.
Mark was a wonderful tour guide! He was hilarious and very knowledgeable. He made our tour very memorable
Be ready for a lot of walking up and down the cobblestones, but it’s a great opportunity to see the history of the tower. Our guide Ben was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and showed us all the great spots and provided a ton of extra information. Ben had a lot of energy and showed his pasdion for the history along the way. He paid special attention to everyone in the group. Plus, he’s got jokes!
Great tour of this very large complex our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She seemed to be fighting a bad head cold and was hard to understand at times, but she fought through it. Nice view of the Crown Jewels
Pretty informative tour, would recommend. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny, but also a bit scattered at times. We also had a problem finding our guide even though the instructions were clear and we were there early - when I called the tour company, they immediately connected us, which was great.
The tour was a great experience. Ben was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely this tour is a must do!
