Great fun! Nice to arrive before the crowds. The tour was informative. Timing was long enough to see the sites, but not too long where we were waiting.
Truly awesome tour! We learned so very much. We were given a sufficient amount of time at each location. Highly recommend this walking Tour.
It was great to beat the crowds at the Crown Jewels. As we left the Jewels there was already a line forming. The Beefeater ceremony was ok. Once we had the tickets for Tower Bridge we were on our own. The tour through the rest of the Tower was a little rushed. I would have liked to be able to return to the Tower of London to explore further. It was a good overview.
John gave us a fantastic tour of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. His knowledge of the history was incredible, and he made sure we didn’t miss the Ceremony of the Keys opening ceremony, a true highlight of the visit. Engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about London’s history. Highly recommend!
Going to the opening of the Tower gets you in early to see the Crown Jewels without big crowds. Lots of history here.
John was great! Have done the tour with and without the VIP experience. Definitely do the VIP experience! Got in with no line early and John gave us so much history and background.
Our guide Leon was very thorough, friendly, and engaging. He also had a very good sense of humor and liked to tell stories.
Recommended, our guide John was amazing, great fund of knowledge and great communication skills. We enjoyed the tour.
Very informative tour and our guide was Don. He had an exceptional amount of knowledge and was courteous. Enjoyed the opening ceremony at the Tower and seeing the Crown Jewels before it was busy. There were 20 people in our tour. I would prefer a smaller group if I did it again. Worthwhile tour but a bit long. Ended at the Tower Bridge and departed to explore.
Great tour. We got a lot of information which helped go through the exhibits more quickly. Early access to the Crown Jewels was great. John our tour guide was excellent.
