London Bridge and London Tower were splendid. The guide was very informative and showed us the engine room which was awesome.
Dear Elvira, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to London Bridge and the Tower! It sounds like you had a fantastic time exploring, especially with such an informative guide. The engine room must have been a fascinating highlight of your tour. London's history and architecture truly make for a splendid experience! If you have any photos to share we would love to see them! it would inspire other travellers like you to do this tour. We hope to see you soon on your next Travel Curious adventure.
Wonderful time and a fascinating look into the distant (and relatively recent) past. Marc Blake was outstanding - knowledgeable, funny, and he seemed to know everyone!

We had a great experience touring the Tower of London and Tower Bridge with our guide Danny. I’m not sure if you can request a particular guide but I would highly recommend Danny. He was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who balanced historical explanations with friendly banter. There were areas of the Tower that he wasn’t allowed to come in as a guide so he took time to tell us the areas of interest in places like the Crown Jewels, so we didn’t miss anything. In hindsight it is a little odd that a paid guide can’t guide someone through some exhibits but at the time it didn’t impact the trip. The only “downside” of the tour was there was so much to see that we couldn’t fit it all in. Even though you could easily spend a full day at the Tower of London we did not feel rushed to get through the Tower within our time window; it was a great amount to see for a first visit and gives us plenty to see again on another trip.
Do not book a tour of The Tower of London with Travel Curious. My family was visiting London for our first time in April; we booked the Tower of London / London Bridge Tour. The entire time (which was most of the tour) we were at the Tower of London, we were followed and harassed by the staff and our tour guide was not permitted to give us a tour there. We did not receive a tour from the tour guide in any building. It was extremely uncomfortable and stressful. I emailed Travel Curious and asked for a partial refund- the request was denied. I used Travel Curious for 2 tours that week for a family of 5; I spent a lot of money on those tours. If I pay for a tour, I expect to receive it and that did not happen. We did tip the tour guide as we felt it wasn’t her fault, but it certainly wasn’t a good experience.
Guy, our guide, was awesome! Our entire family was engaged and enjoyed a variety of things, from stories of the Tower to walking above Tower Bridge. I highly recommend this “skip the line” tour.
Gloria was a magnificent tour guide. So very knowledgeable and kind and just delightful. She made our tour just perfect. So much great information about London and the royal families in general. Highly recommend.
