Excellent guide, full of information and very professional. Easy to find the guide in crowded conditions. He included many incidental happenings from history.

The best narrative, informed guide, plenty of time to see everything and take lots of beautiful pix with Thames and tower bridge in back. Not so important to see the guard changing keys, ho hum, but great to be ahead of everyone in line. When we came out of jewels, the line was 1hr long. Worth every penny to go early. Never realized the tower was actually a castle. Fantastic history. Even my 19 yo loved it.

Really special to be inside of the Tower to see the opening from that side. Our guide was outstanding. It was a wonderful tour worth the price.

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

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!

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.

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.
