The trip was great! The guide was knowledgeable and very nice! We had a great time. The history is amazing and the Crown Jewels are as well amazing!
Our Guide was knowledgeable and the up close and personal with a Beefeater was a plus! While we paid for the experience, it was great to see the crown jewels when others said they toured the tower of London, but didn’t get that access. We also booked the cruise on the Thames, which was great. I wish we could’ve specified the time to be a little later so we had more time to explore the tower castle and the white tower.
Truly enjoyed the tour led by Ben the guide and Beefeater Wayne. Both were knowledgeable and kind. Felt as if we were getting insider info!
Toured with Benjamin and he was great.
Very good and guide was awesome. Take your time as there is so much to take in. Also speak to the Yeoman as they are a wealth of knowledge
Our toir guide, Ben was really good. Very knowledgeable and "punny" and our VIP with Beefeater Wayne was incredible. Highly recommend!
Ben was truly a great guide. Very knowledgeable, personable, friendly and funny. We learned so much and had a great time doing so. The meet and greet with Beefeater Simon was awesome. He gave us great insight into the position. A great tour!
Our guide gave so much historical basis for the tour- I would have been lost just walking around without him. It was also a very cool experience to have a just a small group of 12.
Ben was a phenomenal tour guide, if anything he could have made even more dad jokes. Extremely knowledgeable and an affable fellow. If you do the Thames tour, just know it's separate and only about 45 minutes, which was disappointing.
Take this tour. Warren was great and had so much knowledge to impart and we loved meeting a real Beefeater.
